A couple months ago we conducted training on our Mission, Vision, and Values at Jostens, and the “Johnny the Bagger” story was part of that training!  We received feedback from our employees saying that they felt that was the most touching and personal part of the training that they could relate to in how they can ‘make a difference’!  It was wonderful, and even though I saw that video clip during 21 training sessions, I was touched by it every time!

Testimonials

Thank you so much! Your presentation at the National Fraternal Congress annual Meeting was the perfect finishing touch and I'm so glad you were able to spend some time with us. People in the audience were taking notes frantically, and our President Vera Wilt has already used you idea of starting a staff meeting with a "good news" session. You're terrific! I truly appreciate everything you did to make this such a successful meeting.

You gave us a beautiful example of putting the Human Business Model to work. You touched my heart, and gave me so many good ideas to improve business results. By making yourself vulnerable and finding multiple ways to connect with each of us you were able to make this experience life changing.
