There is something for Every Area!! TOP that with the LIVE event in Florida. John Maxwell and the team represent giving back and leading others to better values, ideas to follow through with and put God First with the mission of Lifting others from Kids to Adults! Love it!

Personally I would have preferred some… Personally I would have preferred some further in depth teachings as we are now JMT certified - I think we only touched tip of the iceberg as it pertains to becoming an actual coach , and the conference was Was mainly a sales pitch for mentorship. While the conference may have had great content, I do not believe that the manner in which this was done would qualify any first time attendee to be certified as a coach.

John Maxwell Team John Maxwell Team is a great community, however it works best if you are in a USA time Zone. Being out that time zone makes it difficult to participate in real time.

This is as far as it can be from John's vision, mission and values Hi There I recently showed interest in the John C Maxwell’s Team program. All looked pretty good till the usual sales fine print started kicking in. The experience was so poor over and over again that it has left me very disappointed and unsure of the purpose of the program. I have been reading and listening to John for a number of years and for me this program was the best thing that could ever happen to me. However, the whole experience has made me believe that John’s vision, mission and values have been compromised and put into a tin can which is full of unpleasant surprises. Not sure if this means anything to you but thought to share. Thanks

John Maxwell Team Scam + Pyramid Scam The John Maxwell Team is supposed to be a program that helps leaders build businesses in public speaking, leadership coaching, and training. The program bears the name of world renowned leader John C. Maxwell but is run by a shadier character named Paul Martinelli. The program mostly is a Amway-like system designed to fleece the dedicated John Maxwell followers of their money through a tiered, pyramid-like scam where access, for short periods of time, is licensed for use by payment of $5000+ per level. The sales game starts immediately at the certification training where the staff (sales team) begins plugging how "success ONLY is gained through upgrade to the mentorship program..." This is a several thousand dollar per year membership upgrade that this company makes millions more at the training selling to non-vetted people who they are allowing to call themselves leadership coaches. The process for becoming a leadership coach with the John Maxwell Team has nothing to do with experience or abilities it is ALL about having MONEY. Many of the people in training are not qualified and NONE are vetted to ensure they are safe to train adults, much less the children that some of their programs target. A felon, child molester can become a John Maxwell Team member and use the program to gain access to local children under the guise of leadership coaching. The program loyalists also are more cult-like than anything and engage in behaviors within their groups to include censorship of anyone who asks questions about this pyramid scam and personal attacks on members who make any negative comment about the program's lack of anything resembling a real training program. The training programs that people are buying are ALL USER CREATED power point slides that anyone who buys a John Maxwell book can create. There is ZERO actual official training materials that are professionally created by this company that boasts their $100 million enterprise numerous times in certification. The program is whatever power points you make after you attend the certification and nothing of value that should be sold for the prices they charge. Mostly, the people in the program have no issue making personal attacks on members and some people have been driven off social media completely due to constant personal attacks due to asking questions that felt detracted from the business of making $100 million in membership fees. This program spends 100% of their time recruiting unqualified people and ZERO PERCENT of their time building a brand that the target customers values. There is ZERO consumer confidence in the John Maxwell Team brand, the only value is in the name John Maxwell but this does not lead to businesses valuing the service. It is a complete waste of money and only makes Paul Martinelli, who has not created a single valuable thing, rich.
