JOHN
SWEENEY'S CLIENT CASE STUDIES John and the BNW has worked with Carlson Companies on a number of events over the years, providing training and keynote speeches to a variety of departments. John's first success started right at the top as he conducted a training session for CEO Marilyn Nelson Carlson and her top 40 leaders from across all of the many companies that make up Carlson. Leading by example, Marilyn was the first to jump up and participate in John’s interactive keynote, a moment he will never forget. This session has lead to numerous others including the leadership team of Carlson Leisure Travel, the Legal Department and the Hotel division. John was deeply honored that Marilyn provided a quote for his book. And speaking of books, John and the BNW’s most recent book, Return to Civility: A Speed of Laughter Project, is now featured in the Carlson Hotels Read and Return program.Next time you stay at one of the quality properties managed by Carlson, check out a copy and help to make the world a bit more civil! "We all seek to employ the best minds in our businesses - but what good is it if we don't encourage those minds to fly to places and create new and better ways of seeing things? 'Innovation at the Speed of Laughter' is a toolkit of techniques guaranteed to unleash new ideas, written by one of the most consistently creative teams in comedy theatre." MARILYN
