TARGET CORPORATION

We consider the company to be one of our premiere hometown clients and hope that as more and more employees hear John's message of innovation, our work with this retail giant will continue to grow. Target's fine employees were first exposed to John's 8 Secrets at the Annual Target Finance meeting held at the Minneapolis Convention Center in November 2004. The more than 1000 attendees embraced the improvisational point of view with a huge “Yes And!” At one point in John's presentation one of the on-stage exercise participants when asked to complete the sentence "I love Target because...” simply pointed at Sweeney and completed the sentence with "because they hired this guy." The speech ended with a standing ovation. Since then, John has had equally successful presentations with The Marketing Department, Merchandising, Hard Lines, Clothing Designers and Technological Services. He has inspired all of these groups to use the 8 Secrets to fuel their innovation and continue to make Target the “best company ever!”

"We did a survey for the event, and
John was given PERFECT marks!"
