TESTIMONIALS
“You really hold us accountable for doing the work, and the results we get are the result of what we put into it. That’s different from just leading us through the program and just taking the check. You’re more like the person who’s more invested in our outcome.”
“We would not be where we are today without the structure John’s coaching and our business operating system provide. Awesome to see the team working together, challenging each other, and collaborating in a healthy and respectful manner. You did a masterful job leading, setting the boundaries on Accountability Chart and our major project this quarter.”
“Another great session. Really amped about our Rocks, more so than ever before. I’ve never seen our team collaborate this way, challenge each other, push us forward.”
“John, we’ve been able to stay focused where we can have the most impact because of the support you’ve given me as my coach and friend.”
“I would prefer to always have the independent facilitator who knows us and our business. You can make the most of our day. You’re a powerful weapon for us.”
“Though our team gets along really well, it is still nice to have someone guide us.”
“Our coaching calls are such an amazing tool. I would not have gotten there on my own. It’s so helpful for you to hear what I’m saying, then help me find something that’s worked for me in the past and fits my style.”
“John, we’ve been able to stay focused where we can have the most impact because of the support you’ve given me as my coach and friend.”
“John really helps us focus on not getting lost in the weeds outside our core business focus.”
“Now that we have figured out this process, we can grow dramatically by leaps and bounds because we have a purpose.”
“Trying to implement a business operating system without a guide is like trying to be a doctor without getting a medical degree. You cannot practice this discipline without going through the training. You just can’t do it.”
“The whole process of coming up with our what and our why was very impressive to me. In the past we haven’t had a fine-tuned idea of our why and our what.”
“Running on a business operating system makes us more attentive to details and quicker to react.”
“As a team, we have agreement on our scorecard. With the knowledge that we are all focused on the same thing, that allows each of us as individuals to relax more.”
“This was our best session to date. John, you are good at your job.”
“I firmly believe we would not have survived the current realities if we had not come together as a team and worked the realities every week.”
“We got a lot of people who want to sprint, we just don’t know which direction to point them.”
“There are lots of fabulous business books. Without a coach it’s just a fabulous business book like all the others. You need a coach to hold you accountable.”
“I always leave these conversations feeling better than when I started.”
“I’m always excited about coming down here and what we leave with!”
“The hospitality here is just exceptional!”
“It you set a high high goal, some things become unimportant. We’re light years ahead of where we were a year ago.”
“By setting a number of different overlapping Scorecard items, Rocks, weekly meetings, in combination, we are working on the right things to move our company forward.”
“The future’s not optional, being in the future is.”
“If you are in growth mode, Pinnacle and John Fulwider are for you.”
“I have a clearer head right now than I have had in years. For the first time in years, I don’t feel like I’m drowning in a million tasks.”
“This operating system works, but more importantly you as our facilitator works. You help others flourish. You bring out the best in our team. This isn’t something we will outgrow.”
“The best thing about your program is we are focused and on task.”
“Our leadership team would not be where we are at if not for John’s guidance and coaching.”
“You got the conversation started. Everyone’s excited and energized. Having an outside party is just exactly what we needed.”
“You challenged us today and made us uncomfortable. Without getting uncomfortable, we’re not going to grow.”
“I hired you as a coach to coach me, and coaching me is telling me what I do not want to hear sometimes.”
“You pull me out of the weeds and make me think big picture. I need to be out of the weeds more and more.”
“This year we set the foundation for growing in the future.”
“One of our Top 5 decisions is to work with you, John Fulwider, and a business operating system. What got us into Oren Klaff’s Braintrust group? It’s because we were able to rapidly build and scale a business because of John Fulwider and his facilitation business operating system.”
“Our short conversation has been incredibly impactful. Your walking me through the D.O.S. Conversation helped me realize I need to critically analyze all the different types of recurring meetings on my calendar and decide if they are fully aligned with my overarching goals and
aspirations. The day after we met I canceled a weekly meeting that had been a source of struggle for me.
Now, I can better contribute my strategic talents on an as-needed basis. I also looked at other recurring meetings on my calendar with the same frame of mind that we
spoke about, which was comparing the time invested to a cash-flowing company that I might better spend my time on. This has allowed me to quickly identify which meetings are worth continuing and which are not. Again, thank you for the incredibly enlightening coaching session!
