"Here is what a few of our clients have to say about John Schmid's coaching & consultancy services"

"I recommend John to any business that is seeking to improve their performance and ultimately their bottom line"

"I have worked with John over the past 18 months which initially started as a review of company operations that encompassed three separate companies in Australia and New Zealand. After the review and implementation of key strategies identified, John had an ongoing role with our company in the capacity of management consultant that embraced mentoring, training and troubleshooting as required. His role has ranged from accounting to legal, corporate compliance, contracts, risk management, business planning and management accounting. In dealing with John, I have found him to be patient, professional, analytical and solutions focused with an astute sense for commercial outcomes. In achieving this John has shown the ability to listen carefully, assess relevant needs and deliver solutions that satisfy all parties. I look forward to continuing to work with John as future challenges to our business arise. I recommend John to any business that is seeking to improve their performance and ultimately their bottom line."

"I can't speak highly enough of the skill level, professionalism and customer service I received"

"John's input into many daily matters affecting all staff was also important. He had the ability to use humour and his breadth of commercial knowledge to impact on various issues.  I would highly recommend John Schmid to anyone needing business advice. I can't speak highly enough of the skill level, professionalism and customer service I received. It was obvious to me John Schmid took on my job to get an outcome for me -their customer - rather than make an opportunistic "quick buck"."

"He quickly assessed the changes that were required and implemented these changes through consultation with staff by bringing them into the process giving them ownership and accountability"

"As National Service Manager John and I worked closely together on a day to day basis.  John brought to the company not only a strong finance background but also significant commercial experience encompassing strong negotiation skills, contract law, marketing and strategic planning.  At the time John joined Datacard the organization really needed a culture change. A large part of this was undertaken by John. He quickly assessed the changes that were required and implemented these changes through consultation with staff by bringing them into the process giving them ownership and accountability. John very much has a democratic style of management. He was always supportive, encouraging and always prepared to give his time regardless of the circumstances. He introduced a number of disciplines that covered procedures, systems, contracts, key performance measures that benefited the organization.  John also assisted staff by conducting extensive training sessions through manuals he developed over the years. These manuals covered such items as developing negotiation skills, understanding how to interpret financial data and strategic planning. This training enabled all staff to be more focused on key elements of the business and improve their own self worth. I always found John's work to be of an extremely high standard and he set the benchmark for others around him. He worked hard and showed extreme loyalty and dedication to Datacard. He was and still is respected by all staff. At a personal level I value his friendship and the contribution he made to our company. I wish him well for the future."
