"John is an incredible mentor, teacher, and leader. He always goes the extra mile for his students and is always available to provide support and advice, or just to listen. He leads by example and genuinely cares about his students and his work. John taught me some of the most valuable lessons of my career, many of which I still use today."

Zoe Barber

"I've known John (JR) for almost 10 years; he's been a fantastic leadership coach, mentor and visionary. He also has a keen ability to connect with people from vastly different backgrounds (military versus civilian organizations, public versus private sector, and government versus non-profits), while emphasizing that leadership is not defined by what organization you are with, but how you connect/apply your personal values to that of the organization you're affiliated with."

Darcie Cunningham

"John Riordan is a master facilitator and leadership development consultant and so much more. He brings energy, empathy and insight to solve often highly complex problems and is not afraid to bring in a little fun factor along the way :). He has a great passion to support personal and professional development with individuals and with organizations and endeavors to make a difference wherever he is working."
