    John Kriger is a well regarded and sought out trainer for the Office of Continuing Education at the Rutgers School of Social Work. John has developed new curriculum for the CE program and receives excellent evaluation. He has always been open to constructive feedback only making his offerings stronger and more in sync with the learning needs our participants. He is wonderful to work with and I feel privileged to call him colleague and to have had the opportunity to work with him for over 10 years.

    I recommend John enthusiastically for individual consultation, small group seminars and large conferences. He listens actively, considers opportunities and challenges carefully, communicates consistently and clearly, and connects well with audiences small and large.

    I MORE THAN enthusiastically recommend John! He has been a tremendous asset to each project he worked on... He created extensive content for the training community health workers in communication skills, bias awareness, learning styles, and more... In our EMS responder training, John co-developed and co-facilitated this first ever of its type training -- it has been a very successful effort, and it is in large part due to John's contributions -- I look forward to when we have new initiatives to work with John again! John is a very thoughtful, and talented facilitator - our program participants have always found him to be informative, engaging, and approachable; His commitment to our programs' success was always much appreciated, and his knowledge and expertise absolutely contributed to that success.

He conveys his passion and interest in the subjects he teaches. I believe that he would be an asset to your organization.
