John is one of those uncanny people who comes along in your life whose main focus is to make sure YOU'RE the one who is successful. He works to that end and he does it with such grace and class. If you have John in your life or your business, you're a very lucky person indeed.

John Carnes and EQ assessment-based coaching caught me off-guard. I was looking for support, maybe even a guide, to some challenges I faced at work. However, this ended up being a transformative experience that changed my life both professionally and personally. 

John helped me identify areas for growth and develop a tailored coaching plan focused on increasing my emotional intelligence.  He listened a lot, and more often than not he heard ‘opportunities’, rather then the challenges I seemingly burdened myself with.

As a result of this coaching, I experienced increased productivity and better relationships with my direct reports and challenging clients at the multinational engineering company where I work in the UK.  My growth was recognized through quarterly reviews, but also at times through informal settings over a coffee with colleagues. 

What sets John apart is his personal experience with EQ assessment-based coaching. He has walked the same path, which was evident through his own sharing, but also in his ability to understand. I also enjoyed how he would work with me to conceptualize improvements, refinements and changes to support my continued growth. 

John Carnes and the EQ assessment-based coaching is time well spent. My only regret is not embracing this opportunity with him sooner.

Throughout Medtronic, in CRDM Sales, Leadership Development or Global Organization Development, John is known as the "poster boy of coaching" a compliment to his synergistic ability to not only engage his own coaching for success program but also, and he translates the core success principles of coaching into his sales engagements with his customers. 

I worked with John on a team tasked with delivering a recommendation on how to approach and implement internal coaching at Medtronic. I was extremely impressed with John, his style and his commitment to coaching. I highly recommend him to anyone who is considering hiring a coach - especially to anyone who wants to see radical personal improvements.
