What Our Clients Say
"John was invaluable to us in our search to replace our retiring longtime Executive Director. His management of the entire process from initial interviews with us to clarify our needs and expectations through the search and evaluation of candidates to the final selection and hiring was incredible. John has a way of engaging all parties in meaningful ways, is insightful and a consummate professional. As a consultant, John is at times a mentor, counselor, strategic partner, and at all times a trusted friend and resource. My only regret is that he is not a permanent member of our team!" - Brad Finkle, Board of Directors Chair, Tourism Cares
"John Tarvin developed and delivered a first-class retreat for our company’s board, allowing us to make key decisions based on financial futures and scenarios that John created. John’s professional and personal skills facilitated needed conversations in a way that included every board member and moved us toward agreement. I especially appreciate all the time he put into the planning of our retreat and his wisdom in flowing between the big picture and the details. We plan to call on John Tarvin for future leadership and financial consulting and highly recommend him for company boards looking for guidance. - Jennie Wadsworth, President of the Barringer Crater Company
“I was lucky enough to work with John Tarvin during my second year as founding executive director of a small, grassroots organization. I had a lot of heart and drive, and NO experience on how to grow and sustain an organization. John was incredibly adept at acknowledging my strengths while pushing me to grow in areas that were often uncomfortable but that would benefit our organization ten-fold. He was the perfect combination of firm and flexible, patient and goal-focused. " - Dinah Shephard, Executive Director, First Teacher
