He is proficient in Spanish. Colleagues describe him as ""Working with John has changed my life. The biggest breakthrough was that he taught me the value of relationships to the success of the team and the organization. People around me notice that I have changed in many ways. For example, instead of reacting quickly or going straight to my solution, as I had done previously, I listen to their opinions and enlist them to define what success looks like for themselves. They are now coming to me as a partner rather than the guy with the quick answer. Because of my work with John, there’s a lot more success and a lot less stress in my life, at work and at home. I recommend John wholeheartedly."" and "We highly recommend John Ficken and The Quotidian Group. John gave 150% of himself to understanding the type of organization we are and tailoring his approach to our particular needs. John began coaching me in the fall of 2005 soon after I became president of Divers Alert Network (DAN), at the request of our Board of Directors. I was very pleased with what John helped me accomplished in his coaching. He gathered extensive feedback about me from other people, then used that feedback to help me better understand my strengths and weaknesses as a leader. While the process was not painless, it was well worth the results I got, and no one could have done it better than John. In fact, we also had him work with two other senior executives who felt a new level of confidence and leadership ability arise within themselves as a result."
