Background:

Prior to forming The Aurora Group, John was a Senior Consultant in the Information Technology Consulting Practice at Baker Newman & Noyes. Prior to BNN, John spent 9 years in all phases of the Information Technology field as a Systems Engineer, Consultant and Entrepreneur, starting three successful technology companies in Maine including iCORE Systems, Total Technology Services, and TechCounsel, LLC. His activities in all of his endeavors have always including training and coaching.

John is also an accomplished writer, author of The Business Owner's Guide to Hiring Qualified Tech Support, and was a regular columnist for Interface Business News, as well as Editor of the Maine Hospitality News, both local Maine publications. He has also authored and delivered several curricula dealing with information security and information technology, and was one of three ghost writers for a nationally published college-level text book on Information Security Policies. John's passion for writing, however, is expressed through essay, poetry and short story writing.

Prior to his extensive training and experience in information technology, John spent 15 years in the hospitality industry where he learned about providing excellent service, effective organizational systems, and how to cook an excellent meal. Most of all he learned how to get along with people of every sort and communicate with them using their language.

"I am focused on the coaching approach now as central. I have been doing this work all of my adult life as an adjunct to other work. Now all the other things I have done are informing my work as a coach. Helping people discover their own power is the biggest thrill for me, as it leads to productive change and achievement. Coaching proves to be the best avenue, the best process for me to deliver tangible value to my clients." -John Rogers
