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.

I love John's books but… I love John's books but I was very disappointed by how rudely I was treated when I reached out to the organization inquiring about hiring a coach.

Has the JMT lost sight of its mission Has the JMT lost sight of its mission? Sadly, it seems as the mission is more about building checkbooks than serving others. It is heartbreaking. I really believed that this was different and yet greed seems to have outweighed service. It has become more about pay to play. We are taught to "avoid the shiny object" syndrome however at each turn we are being asked to spend more to get more. We are taught "we are enough" yet in order to be enough we are to buy another class or program or position. Access to certain "privileges" is purchased and then the bar is raised so more money is required to obtain the same access. The leadership team is changing without sufficient explanation. We build a relationship with someone and then they are gone. Is this also a money thing? Are other "leaders" being brought in at half the price? Finally, the leadership does not reflect the demographics of the group. Women are over represented in support roles and not in leadership positions even though the demographics of the group are likely to be a 50/50 split male to female. A classic patriarchal organization. Another disappointing fact about the JMT. On the bright side, I have met some of the most amazing people in my life. Highly motivated to change the world. For me, the greatest value has been the people I've met and the impact they are having. John C. Maxwell is one of the most amazing men I know. An outstanding leader, story teller and speaker. Is this the legacy he wants to leave?

They started sending me spam out of… They started sending me spam out of nowhere. And they just don’t stop. They used the real spelling of my name which I never disclose online which makes me believe they bought an illegal mailing list from somewhere.

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
