“John Lee's presentation is excellent. With a sense of humor, a sincere interest in his audience, and a high level of subject expertise, John presented practical ways to express anger appropriately.

He had the audience riveted as he explained the difference between anger and rage; explained why we lapse into regression; and, described ways to bring people out of regression.

The audience walked away with dozens of actions they can take immediately to improve themselves personally and professionally.

I highly recommend John and his Expressing Anger Appropriately in the Workplace and Home.”

I was able to establish boundaries for the first time in my life which empowered me in my work environment and nurtured me in my personal relationships.”

“In my capacity as an executive coach and advisor to CEOs, I have the opportunity to interact with many authors, consultants and experts in many areas of business and personal development.

John Lee’s presentation and material on Expressing Anger Appropriately in the Workplace and Home ranks right at the top with information and methods that deal with a rampant behavior pattern that derails careers and reduces effectiveness in leaders. It has made a major impact with the people with whom I work and me, personally.”
