Bio
Lisa Weber
John is a clear communicator and easy-going collaborator, a passionate researcher, and a stand-out leader in identifying trends. He was instrumental to Mercer’s Covid-19 research that identified employers’ responses to the crises, focusing on evolving talent management and workforce planning issues. Colleagues turned to John to give expert guidance and relied on John’s natural gift for explaining root-cause situations within the complexities of multiple forces causing change, and then using research to offer creative examples and solutions. These insights supported innovative product/service roadmaps for our colleagues to use with their client organizations. I personally benefitted from John’s strategic thinking and writing on Mercer’s

I had the immense privilege of attending the leadership sessions designed by John while he was CLO and learning architect for Info-Tech. This learning workshop was eye-opening and equipped me with repeatable approaches to workplace leadership. LEAP allowed me to understand how different generations, functions, and tenured staff viewed learning and development in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. Further, I learned how to work, engage, and lead this diverse set of staff. The model John designed allowed us to discuss the issues directly impacting the business today and in the future, and how we as a group would embrace these challenges with a Leadership Mindset. The Leadership Enhancement Acceleration Program was the most engaging experience I’d been offered while at Info-Tech, and John allowed a major shift in how I applied myself & inspired those around me. John also made himself available for weekly learning and reinforcement sessions that were critical to my personal and professional growth. Thank you John!
