• "How does one recommend an individual whose counsel and services make you feel as if you are the only client in the world? To do so would be an admission there are others and then disrupt the illusion. The thing about John that makes you feel unique is his ability to deliver, in a caring manner, the hard truths. Many coaches and counselors love to stick to your strengths. John, through deeply insightful questioning, has an ability to expose frailties along with revealing your own abilities to act to improve and move forward. While his approach generates some tension in the room, it also stimulates the desire to explore for the metaphysical exit door. John helps you find your answers. When you do find them the improvement begins. Any time spent with him is valuable."

• "I met with John as part of a senior executive trial group to test a new model he has developed for coaching. It quickly became evident that John was offering something unique and relevant. John's design was an aggressive, structured approach to building awareness regarding my deeper goals. I left this experience with increased resolution on next steps and increased clarity on how to get there. I recommend Dr. John Behr without reservation to anyone who considers career transition."

  Eli Margalit, CEO at Camero

• "Incisive. Determined. Thoughtful. Spending a couple of hours with John's approach is well worth the investment. I have known John for many years but had never sat down with him for a coaching session. His questioning of my background and motivations helped to illuminate some self-created hurdles in my professional and personal growth. Like a good guide, John's approach helped me to gain more focus and understand myself better. I look forward to working with him again and recommend a "sit-down" to any executive looking to improve their own approach to career and life."

• "During the period December 2007 through May 2008 John Behr provided coaching services to staff members of YMCA of the USA. Y-USA had a difficult relationship develop between a supervisor and a supervisee which we had been unable to resolve internally. Over a period of months John efforts significantly improved the relationship. He was able to help each individual accept personal ownership of their role in the situation and guided both individuals in making the necessary behavior changes. Throughout the process I found John to be very professional. He maintained confidentiality, kept me informed of progress, and connected other related parties as needed. I was pleased with the depth and quality of John's services and would highly recommend him."

• "In our two hour meeting, John provided a laser focus into the real reason I was not achieving the professional results I desired. John's ability to hold the judgment free space, provide a trusting environment and cut through the story are only part of the reason he is the best at what he does. His curiosity comes from a deep place of caring. If your results are good, but not great and you want to get Unstuck, call John and you are one giant step closer."

• "John creates an environment that sets the stage for understanding almost immediately; this made our time together both effective and efficient. In only one session I gained insights that I will continue to draw upon during an important career transition. He is a gifted coach who I highly recommend to anyone seeking more success and satisfaction in his/her work."

• "John is a seasoned and effective executive coach who has the ability to account for intricate details of individuals and matrices of people, using assessment information to improve individual and holistic business results."

• "John recently helped me get past a year-long block in my business. His intelligent, gentle manner, helped me to explore, quiet, and focus my mind, organize my thoughts and find the beginning of an innovative break-through for my company, my employees, and most of all for me. He helped me realize I could do what was needed for us to be successful!"

• "I had the opportunity to meet with John for two hours during which he explored my background and decision-making methodology. His unique approach involves assessing self-confidence and self-worth by examining the obstacles to my success, from both personal and professional viewpoints. I gained more insights about my limitations and potential in my discussion with John, than I ever thought possible. I would recommend John to assist anyone dealing with a career transition or confronting a personal obstacle in the workplace and in life."

• "I recommend John to anyone who is having difficulty focusing on a problem that he/she cannot clarify or reconcile. John helps one think through a problem quickly. He points one in the right direction and allows the person to figure out what needs to be done using his/her own style. He counsels with empathy, finesse and is very respectful, insightful and understanding of human nature."

• "With insightful discussion and focused questioning, John guides you through identifying personal and professional roadblocks, then offers valuable techniques for busting through them. His advice is neither canned nor trite but rather highly personalized, non-judgmental and immediately relevant. After just a few hours, I left John's office with a clarity and focus that dissolved months of wheel-spinning, yet is enduring in its value. I highly recommend John to anyone at a crossroads, in transition or needing a renewed sense of direction. He is, quite simply, an extraordinary individual."

• "I have enjoyed working with John Behr, Ph.D. for more than a decade. His uncanny ability to "read" people makes him a natural in the I/O field. I have also always been amazed by how quickly and capably he and I have worked together on a variety of documents and reports. His attention to detail and organizational politics make his work right on target all the time. I recommend Dr. Behr for all tasks without reservation. He's the best!"

• "The session with John cut through to my core problem that needed addressing. I was then given concise direction that when used, eliminates the problem. There is no second guessing that real work had been done with me that will serve me for my lifetime. John gets it, maybe because he lives what he teaches. He is credible, and real. No other kind of therapy could have worked for me. I suggest John to everyone looking for a meaningful and purpose filled life right now."

• "In two hours with John Behr, I found answers to many questions raised by thorny issues in my career and life, answers I hadn't yet heard from my therapist, lawyer, accountant, or from other family members. John's fresh approach got right to the point; it was also invigorating!"

• "Though finding John knowledgeable and caring, I was skeptical of his offer of a break-through insight in a single session. In my single session with him, John offered a novel insight and then recommended a book as a "starter" tool for my exploration of this insight. Curiously, I wasn't immediately clear on the connection with the book even after I spent some time reading it. It turns out, however, that subsequent events not only underscored the connection but also revealed a blind spot in my thinking. In other words, my time with John shed light on something I was unaware of and that new awareness has allowed me to take a huge leap forward. I recommend John Behr without reservation."

• "The two hours I spent with John were extremely productive. He helped me identify roadblocks in my life and then helped me develop strategies to get through them. I was able to use his coaching in a tense meeting just two days later, resulting in an outcome beyond my expectations."

• "John is very pleasant to work with. He combined scientific assessments with personalized dialog in a very effective way. I felt that he struck the perfect balance between an applied, structured system and a personalized approach. In addition to his own expertise and insight, he also was able to incorporate background information and insight that I brought to the process that allowed me to participate very completely. I was able to approach my recent shift in career direction with confidence and additional insight."

• "Recently John worked with me in a coaching capacity to improve my job interviewing skills. John spent 2 hours face-to-face helping me examine my strengths and weaknesses in interviewing. We were able to address an actual upcoming opportunity I would soon have and had a great practice. He even suggested nuances in my body language and general demeanor to project more confidence. Although I ultimately did not get selected for that opportunity, I did become one of the final candidates because of his coaching. John truly cares about you and extends the professional relationship to one of friendship."

• "I met Dr. Behr twelve years when we worked together at a HR service firm. He is a thoughtful, yet analytical professional who has studied the human condition for years in an effort to best service his clients. I have personally experienced his latest life coaching program and highly recommend it to any individual. You will be impressed by his "no-nonsense" style that will give you the tools to better manage your own life."

• "John worked with me first as a client of mine over two years ago. John is very thoughtful and concerned about the people with whom he works either as their client or as his client. I learned the second part when he gave me some time to speak with him about some of my goals. I heartily recommend John in the role of a coach. He listens and does a great job of fanning your own fires to burn away the obstacles that stand in the way of making your goals happen."

• "In our initial meeting, John helped me identify the true issues behind my current situation has helped me to focus on critical areas in my personal and professional life that were not in alignment. As a result I have been working on a professional career transitional plan that better meets my personal goals."

• "I have known John for nearly 2 years now. He brings great insight and constructive ideas to the table. I find him to be perceptive and understanding in dealing with people. Sitting down with him for an hour or two is well worth the time and effort. John takes great pride and puts forth his best effort in helping others."

• "I found John to be very insightful in getting to the heart of issues and problems and found his guidance to be very creative and constructive."

• "I thoroughly benefited from my two hour session with John. His perceptive, to-the-point approach is effective and digs deeply to the core of issues and questions with the intention of re-establishing direction, clarity and focus. I highly recommend him as a Career and Life Coach. "
  

• "John has been very valuable to my company, Yoga Now. He has a coached a few of our people on difficult issues, and has had amazing results. He takes the time to understand each person's issue which he does with amazing clarity and alacrity. He then laser's in on the most salient issue and addresses it quickly, while making the employee feel quite comfortable and ready to make change."

• "It has been a delight working with John. He has a gentle approach and his work is thorough. He took the time to get to know. I met him in the 4th quarter of 2009, and look forward to working more closely with him throughout 2010."

It is delightful working with John. I strongly recommend Dr. Behr to anyone who is in search of new perspectives or advice regarding career, business, or life in general. "
  

• "Dr. Behr is a thoughtful, inquisitive, well-read professional. I enjoyed speaking with him both in and outside of class. He helped us reflect on the class material and displayed good insights into the ramifications and applications of industrial psychology. Dr. Behr has a lively questioning mind. I found his comments outside of class to me clear and to the point; his contribution to my personal development was similarly clear and thoughtful; and his teaching style was well-organized, showed good synthetic ability, and demonstrated his capacity for self-reflection."

• "I spoke with John over the summer as I was trying to decide if I should make a career change. He spent a lot of time with me on the phone and had some great ideas. He is extremely intuitive and I hope to work with him again in the future."

• "While I've known John for many years, it wasn't until recently that I had the opportunity to work with John professionally as part of senior executive trial group to test a new model he has developed for coaching. His tests required a very introspective search process I found to be essential to my own discernment process. The insight and analysis John provided was not only comprehensive, it was communicated very articulately, resulting in a clarity to advance toward more conscious decisions regarding pursuing a more defined course of action for myself. I was amazed by the volume of information shared and communicated between the both of us in such a short and intense period of working together."

• "John is a professional of the highest integrity with a genuine enthusiasm for his practice. John is a consultant who will take the time to deeply analyze a situation (ask all the right questions and use multiple tools and resources) in order to offer the most valuable insights to any individual, group, or organization. I have worked with John on numerous projects, and with his direction we were always striving for the most value added and highest quality outcome. I highly recommend Dr. John Behr as a colleague, as a consultant, and as a professional coach!"

• "John is extremely insightful. He is very intuitive and responsive and seems to know "exactly" what I need. He's a great listener, then offers up the proper path to take. Whenever I speak with him, I take his advice to heart because he's spot on accurate! I highly recommend him. Scott Kuperman Paint Platoon USA."

Dr. Behr's approach is supportive and applicable to today's work environment."

• "I worked closely with John on a management development project for a mutual client of ours.

He was able to work effectively with individuals on all levels from business owners and senior management to operational staff and would be an asset to any firm interested in developing its management's leadership potential."

• "I really enjoyed meeting with John. John paid very close attention to what I was saying and allowed me to find answers on how to make my business grow."

• "I took Professor Behr at Loyola University Chicago. His 20 years of experience did much for my interest in the field of Industrial Psychology and overall Psychology in general.
