"I am glad to recommend Johnny Karls. Johnny is a true 'visionary,' but also extremely practical, meticulous, detail-oriented, encouraging, and a leader at every stage of the process.
I can also state that Johnny has a knack for really making the entire team know the value of their contribution - not just with a simple 'great job team' at the end, but by coming alongside throughout the process - ensuring everyone has a clear goal, the tools to accomplish what needs to be done, and someone to escalate to if there are problems. A great visionary, a great leader, a great implementer. Very few people I have worked with professionally have the same charisma and skills that Johnny brings to the table."

"First and foremost, Johnny cares about each of his clients! Johnny is logical and simplifies what appears to be complicated. His diverse experience allows him to coach outside the corporate box (so refreshing). He is great at contributing alternative points yet does more reminding than training. He empowers with respect, and pushes us to step up and confidently face reality."
