Wallings Nature Reserve (Antigua)
As a busy executive I loved that the classes were interactive and we were given an opportunity to speak freely about what we knew and where we were struggling. The content that was delivered was spot on (I now have an expensive phone that allows me to work on the go). You cannot go wrong with participating in a class taught by Sheldon, he knows his stuff. He walks you through things that can make your everyday marketing experience a breeze. While participating in the classes I was awarded with 4 awards, community tourism, leading light, indigenous woman and an award from her Majesty the Queen for volunteerism.

From the beginning of the course, Mr. John’s presence, poise, and his ability to deliver the content being discussed was exemplary. I could tell he had a love for marketing; he was always keen about sharing his experiences in brand management and by extension marketing.
Brand management is a new field to me, but it never felt that way during the sessions facilitated by Mr. John. The content was complex at times but with Mr. John’s delivery there was simplicity and relatability. There was a fluidity in the way he delivered the content. He responded confidently and openly when posed with questions. He was very inclusive. He always paused to accommodate questions and discussions. Mr. John would always ensure the class understood the content before moving on to something new. His knowledge of marketing is undisputed and undoubtedly strong. He speaks from within and takes a holistic approach; he would explain things in detail while showing how different aspects link. His explanations were clear and concise. He would always ensure that persons from different cultural backgrounds understood his content and were comfortable with his delivery.
Mr. John is truly an expert in his field, and I would strongly recommend his services to anyone desiring to improve their knowledge in marketing or who would like to enhance their professional skills in that area.

Mr. John shared knowledge on content marketing that taught me how to make my products into something outstanding with good digital presence.

During our sessions, Mr. John covered not only different effective marketing strategies for re-inventing my business but also gave me a chance to explore my own ideas and objectives and then made them even better.
· Explanations of Nuances and Culture
Mr. John is very knowledgeable of the Caribbean and different marketing strategies that will work on a small island. Made it easy for us to have exchanges and choose the best ways for re-inventing my small business .

During the Business Adaptation Program hosted by UWI, UNPD and Frankfurt School of Finance, Sheldon was my Advanced Marketing tutor. From the very first class Sheldon's passion for Marketing was apparent through not only the interesting and interactive content but his delivery.
I was also very elated to discover that Sheldon was my mentor, as his passion and excitement for Business Development and Marketing was transferred to me at each session.
Sheldon is knowledgable, patient and charismatic with very innovative ideas, making the ideal balance for an awesome mentor, trainer and coach! I am confident that he will be that and more to any individual or company interested in any of these services.
