JGo has a unique ability to read the room and nurture spaces. Year after year, I returned to the safety of JGo’s workshops, knowing that I would continue to grow as a person, a leader, and an educator. I was inspired to join JGo’s team and learn how expertly he anticipates the needs of each learning moment and collaborates with others to craft elevated learning spaces.”

JGo effectively facilitated multiple meetings of our large group of participants and guided us toward the creation of a product that still is in use today in Illinois and across the country. He led us through an exercise on ‘Introducing Your Best Self’ that effectively focused our expansive ideas. I highly recommend JGo for any work involving facilitation and staff development.”
