"Once Jan and I spoke I knew we had to ask him to speak at our annual Leadership Symposium (LEDx) at Air University. Of course Jan did not fail to deliver - he connected with our crowd in a way that few have done - combining the best of academic leadership theory with practicality that only a true practitioner in the art of leadership can. Thank you Jan - can not wait for next year."
