John trains teams and individuals in neurobiology-based Principles of Effective Leadership and Communication
What would happen if your team communicated more clearly, trusted each other more deeply, collaborated more effectively, and built stronger connections with clients and colleagues?
This transformational program equips leaders with the communication skills that drive results: greater influence, stronger relationships, better teamwork, more effective presentations, increased accountability, and a culture where people are inspired to take action.
In this highly interactive program, your leaders learn the science and practice of leadership communication — how to connect, inspire, influence, and drive action. The result is better conversations, stronger teams, more effective leadership, greater alignment, and a culture where people feel seen, heard, and motivated to contribute at their highest level.
Whether your goal is stronger leadership, better client relationships, more effective presentations, improved sales conversations, or greater organizational performance, this training creates immediate and lasting impact.

Here is a very short, very useful set of tips about speaking at a TEDx event, including John’s highly useful INC.com article about how he utterly failed his first time on the TED stage, so you can avoid doing the same.
I’ve never seen so many Estonian people get that enthusiastic, and that engaged and passionate about public speaking.

Nah, I really don’t need a speaking coach”, I was thinking as Johnson & Johnson introduced me to John Bates. The coaching was part of JNJ’s support to prepare my pitch for one of their QuickFire Challenges. I wasn’t being arrogant. It’s just that after making hundreds of presentations and many speeches over my 37-year career in Life Sciences, I thought I didn’t need a coach. I was self-taught and spent time reading about effective speaking and even took a course on “How to present like Steve Jobs.” I had been pitching my company, Prapela, for about 6 months and had recently won the “Best Overall Presentation” award at a big event in Boston. Surely my time would be better spent on something else. Still, my conscience and my respect for JNJ told me to take the course along with the other participants in the Challenge. I completed each online training session and then participated in a few video conference calls with the class and John.”
Wow, John and his course was a game changer for me and Prapela. John’s course is way beyond the basics of slide content, posture and delivery. You learn the importance and the skills of connecting with your audience. For me, I discovered how my traditional emphasis on facts and putting everything in chronological order got in the way of being authentic. And I also met a terrific, positive person – John is simply a great coach and his course is flat out fun. “Yeah, I really did need a speaking coach”, I was thinking as I held the Winner’s trophy for JNJ’s Next-Gen Baby Box Challenge. Thanks to John and Johnson & Johnson, Prapela is raising funding and on a pace to introduce the Prapela SVS next-gen baby box in 2018.”
