John hit a homerun and set off a lot of fireworks! He is a very knowledgeable, motivational presenter who definitely "walks the talk," and the best part about the very practical suggestions he made was that they didn't COST anything.

Carol Thom - Kanawha County Schools

Dr. John Hodge is not only a gifted speaker, but has the ability to relate to his audience in a way that commands attention and participation. His personal stories, laced with his own brand of humor, create a personal relationship between the listener and the speaker. He has a special ability to bring any topic, no matter how difficult, to a level of deep understanding, thus creating a pathway for implementation. Additionally, he is appreciated for the humble spirit from which he speaks. We found him to be a wonderful presenter, a wonderful educator, and a wonderful human being.
