“Mr. Hannah, I was a guest in attendance at today's meeting of the Scottsboro Rotary Club and enjoyed your talk on leadership. I was with Ron Bailey who greeted you as you arrived at Western Sizzlin'. Just to maybe jog your memory - I'm sure you don't remember this as well as I do. In 1974/1975, I was a 14-year-old from Albertville and you allowed me to take care of your lawn work at your home which was located near Evans Elementary School and the Rec Center in Albertville. I also helped you on your farms at Snead and Painter for a while (along with a kid named Art Roberts) and admit that I was not a very good hand at the farm work. At the time you were into the CB radio craze as I was. My call sign was "shoestring" and yours was "hog". I still have an autographed photo that you gave to me. Again, while this may not register with you, you made a big impression on this then-teenage boy. I will always remember your kindness to me. I can still remember one of your dogs, the bassett hound but can't much remember the other. I just wanted to take a minute to reminisce about those times 35 years ago and tell you how much I appreciate you allowing me to work for you and with you and also to tell you how much I enjoyed your presentation today. I graduated from Albertville High School in 1978. During your talk, you mentioned John Maxwell and his teachings of which I am a huge fan. I have all his books and have attended many of his simulcasts. I appreciate your time in reading this and appreciate the person and example that you are. I wish you continued success in your work.”

“I wanted to write to thank you for participating in our product show this year. Your talk was excellent and had attendees (myself included) on the edge of our seats. By looking at the audience, it was clear that you had a loyal group of followers who were honored to be in your presence - and who loved your stories! I was particularly impressed when the security guard came over to thank you for something you did for one of his loved ones decades ago!”

“When John Hannah came and spoke to our Quarterback Club in Tallahassee, Florida he was humorous, insightful and down to earth. A true gentleman and a scholar of the game of football. I felt after dropping John off at the airport I had not just met a great player, but had made a friend as well.”

“John Hannah spoke at a National Prayer Breakfast for Redstone Arsenal this past year for over 400 soldiers/government civilians/contractors. John showed how he uses his faith to motivate, lead, and team-build whenever the opportunity arises. Everyone expected to see this Hall of Famer offensive lineman know as "HOG" tell war stories about his football career, but he surprised the audience with how he does his daily devotional and how he is led by the Lord to meet his daily needs. John Hannah knows 'What Right Looks Like' in how to teach motivation, leadership, and team-building using his faith as the cornerstone to his success in life.”

John A. Olshefski - AMC G4/7/9 Forward /

“His leadership, motivation, and desire to academically achieve separated him from his fellow students. John's thoughts on these topics would be beneficial to those who desire to attain success in their future endeavors.”

Paul A. Squarcia - Vice-President and Dean (retired) / Endicott College

“We engaged John Hannah and Associates with the intent of improving our communication, team-work, and leadership skills. Not only did his iLEAD program enable us to identify the personality types of each team member, it also helped us communicate with each team member in a manner which is more effective. iLEAD further helped us to more effectively identify strategies and measurable goals indicative of successful implementation of these strategies. Teamwork, morale, sales results, and bottom line profitability have all improved significantly after we began incorporating the iLEAD methodologies. I would highly recommend the program to any team!!!”

“Thank you for joining us to be our platform speaker at our annual Kickoff Banquet for New York Life in Birmingham. We asked you to speak on leadership and team building – who better than an individual that has played a major role at the collegiate and professional level in athletics. John, you illustrated real life examples of the challenges and opportunities for developing these traits. You were able to do so in such a way that it kept our group attentive and intrigued. John thank you again for making our kickoff a hit!”
