ED CALLAHAN
Expert EOS Implementer™ - Business "Execution" Coach
John and I were recruited from the Greater Philadelphia Senior Executive Group (www.gpseg.org), along with two other colleagues, to assist this 501C3 non profit by filling seats on their Board of Directors. John was very empathetic with the mission of CCIL and generously provided his time and energy to help them achieve their goals. He respected the balance needed in a volunteer-based non-profit when motivating and communicating with the volunteers. He demonstrated that he was capable of working successfully with other board members. His time of service was cut short when he relocated to Texas from Chester County in Pennsylvania.
