Lets Have This Conversation

Businesses and CEOs have a pivotal new role to play in rebuilding public trust in information and bridging the United States' growing partisan divide. According to the latest Edelman Trust Barometer update, 61% of people surveyed expressed trust in businesses — significantly higher than the number who trusted governments or the media. Trust in governments worldwide dropped to 53%, after seeing an 11-point surge in May during the coronavirus pandemic.  John Collins is on a mission to help organizations, teams and people restore public trust. He’s an executive leadership coach, facilitator, and author based in Southfield, Michigan. He specializes in working with people, teams, and organizations in positions of public trust - clients who impact our quality of life.

John started his private practice in 2013 after retiring his award-winning, 20-year career in forensic science, authoring four books, including his newest work, The New Superior. As a facilitator, John’s range of experience is unmatched, having facilitated highly sensitive domestic and international meetings on behalf of the United States Government.

John’s career highlights include his part in the forensic investigation of the Atlanta serial bombings, which included the bombing of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta (for which he received a commendation from the Department of the Treasury), as well as his 2013 participation in a historic meeting with Attorney General Eric Holder and other experts to discuss solutions to gun crime following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

John is the host of the monthly Critical Victories webcast in which he explores the relationship between leadership and public trust through the lens of current events.

Then during the first half of 2019, visitor arrivals increased further by 3.9% year-over-year, to about 1.73 million people, thanks to the continued increase of tourists from North America.

I'm originally from Canada and now I travel full time to different countries and learn about the local real estate market. If the numbers make sense I start acquiring my own properties for Airbnb. I've explored the Mexico and US market, and recently acquired an Airbnb in South Florida. Now I'm on the hunt for the next investment property in Costa Rica.”

With his fourth championship secured and 1stfinals MVP under his belt there is no denying the fact Stephen Curry is one of the greatest players of his generation.

“This one hits different for sure, just knowing what the last three years have meant, what it's been like from injuries to changing of the guard in the rosters,” said Curry. “… I can say it now, I don't know how many teams could carry that as long as we have with the expectations of comparing us now to teams of past and make it to the mountaintop again." How should we now view Curry’s legacy?

Meanwhile for the Boston Celtics despite the fact they didn’t win it all they did conquer one of their nemeses by winning the Eastern Conference. However, Boston superstar Jayson Tatum struggled under the big lights of the NBA Finals.

The Celtics reflect on the critical learning point of all.

“It's hard,” said Jayson Tatum, who joined Larry Bird and LeBron James as the only players in NBA history to amass at least 600 points, 150 rebounds, and 125 assists in a single postseason. “It's hard getting to this point. It's even harder getting over it, the hump, and winning it. It's been a long journey, a long process. That's what I took from it: it's tough. You got to take it up another level to do what we want to do.”
