John-Paul Sharp Learning and Professional Development Clinical Supervisor/Trainer

Tell us some things about yourself that we’d be surprised to learn.
George Michael has been my favorite musical artist for decades.
I’ve really enjoyed watching the movie Grease 2 since I was 9 years old.
I saw New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys in concert together a few years ago.
New York City is my favorite city in this country. 

Do you have any advice for new team members?
Be patient and allow events to unfold. But also synthesize in with that certainty about your ability to learn and grow.

Do you have any hobbies that you’d like to tell us about?
Eating blue spirulina almond butter bowls at Juice Press. Utterly delicious.

Name someone here at Sound who has had a big impact on you? 
Allen Hume. He convinced me to become a Substance Use Disorder Professional. He has taught me the fine art of patience through a lot of processes and change at Sound. He has also role modeled how to speak in a measured way with anecdotes and helpful tones of voice during presentations.

What is your favorite thing about working at Sound? 
The pleasure of working with clients who teach us about resilience and change every day and with team members who have massively significant information, knowledge and skills to share with one another.
