Testimonials
“I have known Dr. John Blattner since February of 2007 when my
Firm did a phone interview inquiring about business coaching
among our partner group and staff. Since that time, we have had
numerous offsite retreats with him that has given us direction and
assistance with goal planning. He has assisted in developing a first
class recruiting plan that has changed the culture of our Firm. He
continues to be a focal point as we strive to develop leadership and
training programs for our staff. He has consistently demonstrated a
strong work ethic and dedication to our success. His efforts have
produced high quality results time and time again. He has
exceptional people skills coupled with his ability to get to the heart of
the issues. I have been extremely impressed with the extraordinary
talent of his diligence and dedication to his abilities.” July 5, 2009

“Dr. John Blattner preceded me as President of the Illinois
Psychological Association as well as Chair of the Consulting
Section before that. During his tenure as President (2005-2006), he
developed and led our first extensive strategic planning process in
our 70 year history. This process included bringing in outside
experts, changing the way business was conducted at the
association, and instituting the beginnings of a leadership
mentoring process of which I was a beneficiary. Due to John's
leadership pushing through badly needed changes in processes
and how the Board conceptualized their role, the decline in our
membership has stopped and there is a better than 50-50 chance
that the association will be operating in the black this year for the
first time in at least 15 years. I give my highest recommendation to
John in consulting situations including Executive Coaching,
Strategic Planning, Organizational Turn-Arounds, and Emotional
Intelligence.” April 21, 2008

Section and later President, Illinois Psychological Association
