IBM, the U. S. Senate, Westinghouse, Xerox, NASA, Environmental Protection Agency, Greif Brothers Corporation and the US Armed Forces are just a few of the organizations that have used my services. I'm John Beane consultant, professional speaker, and workshop leader. I deliver information-packed, how-to-strategies you and your people can use immediately.

As a consultant my business is to understand your business and help you define and accomplish your goals. This could include interviews along with assessment instruments to evaluate individuals and your organization. Whether dealing with top executives, managers, or non-management personnel, my consulting and workshops are customized to fit your specific needs, time frame, and level of participation.

Clients have found a variety of situations in which I could be of help such as:

• Improving Management Effectiveness
• Helping with Strategic Planning
• Negotiating skills
• Implementing and teaching project management
• Customer service in call centers
• Total Quality Management
• Team creation and improvement
• Improving supervisor skills
• Implementing lean manufacturing
• Consulting on open book management

With over 25 years of business experience I combine theoretical knowledge with everyday practicality to give you the best of my experience. I have been president and CEO of several businesses in which leadership was an everyday occurrence. I've also been a consultant, lecturer and speaker on the topic for the past 15 years.

I am well versed in organizational development and personal change. Whether consulting or training, I believe in getting the job done - helping each organization and client meet their needs.

My other areas of expertise include the use of instruments to assess individuals and organizations. I am certified by Simmons Management Systems to conduct surveys which are used to determine how people feel about organizational issues.

To measure personality I use the TTI Personality Profile, an easily understood instrument especially good for team members getting to know each other. A values instrument can help teams increase their knowledge about individual drives. The Simmons Personal Survey delves much deeper into an individual's emotional intelligence and is well suited for predictive work during the hiring or promotional process. Use of this tool enables me to discuss in great detail the capabilities of an individual, his or her probable success or failure. This instrument can also be used in coaching when someone is not performing at a desired level.

My style is not only knowledgeable, but warm and approachable. People say that in my work I can turn an abstract concept into a workable approach enabling them to apply my strategies on the job. Some people have told me such things as, "He not only knows what he's talking about, he makes complex ideas clear I now know what my next steps need to be." Many people have expressed feelings of a life changing day after one of my sessions.

If you wish to talk with my clients I will be glad to provide names and phone numbers.
