2. Interactive AND Informative
“John – I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with
your quot;Listings Management Overviewquot; training session. You
took a topic that most people would not find that interesting and
made if fun and interactive - GREAT JOB! You also amazed me -
you became a Listings expert and were able to answer
everyone's questions as if you had been in the department
forever. Thanks for a fun and informative class!”
- Trish Hance, Senior Listings Manager, Yellowbook

3. Smart, Creative & Enthusiastic
“It was nothing short of amazing how quickly John was able to grasp the Listings department's concepts
and processes. Department managers were consistently referring to how John absorbed/retained all of the
information thrown at him... AND could present it in a training environment within a few short weeks.
Creativity! Our Coordinators (and myself) have really appreciated his added creative methods to further
enhance the learning process... by engaging the audience, I truly feel the staff was able to retain more
knowledge as a result of those exercises/activities as compared to a normal training class setting.
John's enthusiasm for the product or process! John presents the change or idea in a positive manner;
allowing the audience to buy in to the concept and accept it as the way to go. With my staff, that was no
simple task.”
- Mike Longwell, Public Info Manager, Yellowbook

4. Checks For Understanding
“John always goes above and beyond to ensure the staff he is
training has a good understanding of the subject before he
sends them on their way. John is very observant of staff he is
training that may need some extra training and works with them
to ensure their understanding of the subject. John strives to
create fun and interactive training. This keeps staff engaged and
willing to learn.”
- Tiffany Elwood, Associate Manager, Yellowbook

5. Patient and Answers Questions
“John is VERY patient. He ALWAYS took the time to stop, if for
any reason, to explain something that was not understood, either
by the whole class or just one person... he was never to busy,
even after class was over, to answer questions. He ALWAYS
made each and every one of us in the class feel as important as
the others.”
- Brenda Collingwood, Database Coordinator, Yellowbook

6. Personable and Insightful
“John Kauffman was my trainer for a number of workshops. He
is very personable, he makes one feel at ease and comfortable
during training. John is very in tuned to different personalities
and worked well with everyone. John had a way of making
training interesting. I know I speak for many here at Yellowbook
when I say, “We appreciated John and hated to see him leave.” I
believe that John will be an asset for any company that he would
work for!”
- Judy Hansen, Database Coordinator, Yellowbook

7. Prepared and Charismatic
“John is a great presenter and came to training classes prepared and
open to others opinions and suggestions. After [our department] had
training with John, it was the most talked about thing for weeks, in fact
we still talk about it. I feel John's charisma shines when he is presenting
material and he keeps his audience involved... I liked the fact John was
always wanting to learn more about each department, not just waning to
know the basic stuff, but to get into details and dig into the harder stuff -
if he didn't know the answer he'd always find out.”
- Karesha Domine, Associate Manager, Yellowbook

8. Organized and Outstanding
“Each training class that I took from John was a positive experience. He
really excels at engaging his audience and was the most organized
trainer I have ever had at Yellowbook.”
- Kelli Mason, Data Research Analyst, Yellowbook
“John - You were hands down the best trainer we had here [at
Yellowbook]. You learned the processes quickly and were able to put
together training sessions that were both informative and entertaining.”
- Amy Sturms, Associate Manager, Yellowbook
