Using this information, John will prepare a program that is personalized to suit your event.

ABOUT THE WHIPS AND NUNCHUCKS:
A Corporate Action Hero program is always Fun, Exciting, and informative. From the first word of my programs your audience realizes they are in for a fun time. My background in comedy gives me a unique advantage for creating a fun and supportive environment.
The use of a whip to deliver action-able content is an out-of-the-box delivery method. Why use a whip? Studies have shown that PowerPoint presentations actually turn off the part of the brain that in responsible for content retention. In NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) content retention is triggered by anchors married to the content. The whip being sonically loud and visually impressive, creates powerful anchors for content retention. The Nunchucks are a visually impressive anchor that demonstrates mental flexibility in times of stress or conflict.
Of course whips and nunchucks have a reputation, and I am very careful with their use. In the many years I have been delivering these programs, I have never had a single complaint about the whip or nunchucks , nor has anyone ever expressed societal concerns. On the contrary, the feedback from the programs are aways positive and I am consistently thanked for delivering real "Ah Hah" moments that help individuals both personally and professionally. That in mind I do carry liability insurance for my programs and each client is forwarded a copy of the certificate prior to the presentation.
