"Ferrone provided the leadership to start a grass roots organization to fight methamphetamine and guide it to success. It's people like John who make our community a better place to live."
—Chuck Neuman, Board Member, Ron Gardner Meth Coalition Project
"The essence of John’s approach to facilitating self-awareness and change within organizations encompasses both creative persistence and patience. He unified our leadership to craft an integrated road map that genuinely reflected the goals and mission of our organization in a motivating and meaningful way."

"John has a knack for helping different leaders come together and discuss common challenges or opportunities, and to help them develop and pursue a common vision or purpose. He's done that on several projects for the community of Hastings."
—Dee Haussler, Director, Hastings Economic Development Corporation
"He has pushed us to make tough choices and to follow through, and he has done it lovingly, if I can be so bold as to say that about a consultant. He has done this without ever doing it for us. It's just a knack that he has... to help us help ourselves, without controlling us or doing the work for us."
—Candy Kennedy, Executive Director, Nebraska Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health
"John is not like most consultants in that he goes way beyond the concepts and reports... he is hands-on and the outcomes he has led us to achieve are very tangible. And the best part is that we understand where he has helped us get to, and where we need to go next."
—Candy Kennedy, Executive Director, Nebraska Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health
"I am grateful to have met John through my position on the Families CARE Board. He successfully guided our staff and board members in the joint creation of our vision for the agency, and has proven himself knowledgeable and creative in providing innovative technical support to both the board and the agency."
—Kathy Lewis, Chair, Families CARE Board of Directors
