Hello and welcome!

About John

My sweet spot in my work life and what I love doing most is being with people, ‘helping’ and supporting them in their lives, meeting them wherever they are with this and to wherever they are seeking to get to. I am blessed that the model of coaching I was trained in is an ontological one. Focusing on the person and their agenda, needs, wants, challenges and aspirations.

My belief is that we are already whole and complete and have all our own answers. We are our own experts about us and our lives. We invariably just need the right opportunity and facilitation to get out of our own way to succeed and progress.

At worst, effective coaching has the power to improve a person’s situation and life, bring relief and change BUT at best coaching has the power to transform! Transform lives, communities, and the world – positively and permanently.

I have experience with 1-2-1 coaching, group training and coaching, seminar facilitation and delivery. Given my personal career as a serial entrepreneur, start-ups, scale, ups, and leading teams and the C-suite area of businesses is a natural fit for me and clients. A perspective I have is that we only have one life and living it as a meaningful project and at any and every stage is (transition) what makes it much easier to thrive.

What clients say:

John has been coaching me on and off for a year (the “off” times were when I wasn’t able to engage due to other issues). He has great breadth and depth of coaching methodologies, is highly intuitive and possesses a strong, natural curiosity. All of which means he has been fluid and dynamic in the work we do together.

The results of our sessions are really beginning to shine now. A factor in this has been the perfect combination of patience and butt-kicking at precisely the right time. I have done all the work myself, but I have been guided in how to do so every step of the way.

I cannot recommend working with John highly enough. It has made an enormous difference to me and am delighted to see anyone benefit in the same way.

What clients say:

Shaping my future!

“I’ve been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to meet with John and access his financial planning expertise [him as a well-being coach]. John is a personable, honest, and empathetic individual with a genuine desire to help others. He makes a concerted effort to understand you as a person, including your needs and values in life.

I really enjoy our sessions because I receive more than just financial advice [because I get to openly discuss my well-being, what drives me in life and what success would look like to me]. John is an excellent listener, asks the right questions, and encourages a holistic approach to financial planning [shaping my future]. I feel very comfortable discussing personal matters with him, and I can happily say that I have greatly benefited from our conversations. John is always willing to give his time to support my well-being and financial planning needs.
I would happily recommend his services to any of my friends, colleagues, or family.”

The Game Plan!

“John has been working with me over the past 7 months on financial wellbeing through the ‘GAME plan’ course as well as supporting with individual financial queries around complex insurance policies – saving me stress, time and money whilst providing much needed clarity.

Ahead of all of our interactions John has come well-prepared, asking questions in advance to add the most value to conversations that align to my priorities which has been greatly appreciated. John’s wealth of experience around wellbeing has helped me clarify what I should focus on to ensure my life is purposeful and joyful in the long-run.”

Business and Personal!

I have been fortunate enough to engage with John on both my personal life planning and in provisioning his support to our business as a whole. I have to say that on both levels, I find John a pleasure to spend time with.

His coaching techniques are subtle and effective and he has helped to lead me to a lot of conclusions and planning around my financial future that I would otherwise have struggled with on my own. As a partner to our business as a whole, John has been flexible and knowledgeable and expertly adapted his approach to provide valuable coaching to members of our team, some of whom were initially very sceptical at the prospect of financial coaching.

That John has successfully transformed their opinion is testament to both his expertise in this area but moreover, his down-to-earth and accessible nature as a human. I’d wholeheartedly recommend partnering with John on any level of coaching or financial wellbeing.

The Service Journey

Testimonials

Personal

“I was referred to John when I experienced a melt down whilst on holiday. I thought it was about my job and how unhappy I was with it and my career. After working with John everything was clear a fell into place. His 3-month programme was life changing for me. I feel I am thriving now, clear about what makes me tick and why, what’s important to me and have tools that steady me in challenging situations. I have now hired John as my accountability coach. The financial costs are priceless when I measure it against the return I get in my life.”

Professional

“Working with John has shocked me with the impact it has had on me as a career executive with Apple. It’s been literally transformational. From doing a Financial Life Plan with me and my wife it uncovered some areas that I would not have otherwise realised were holding me back in my professional and personal life.

I have mastered these, been promoted and quadrupled my earnings within 3 years working with John. My work life balance is massively better, the quality of my thinking and execution is off the charts and I feel a massive sense of self-confidence and agency about my life and its direction.”

Solo business owner

“When John said what he does is transformational I did not think it applied to me. I simply wanted to find a way to be on my business and stop it running my life. Being able to confide in John as my coach, have 2 hours a month for myself with John, to stop, think and reflect, for John to be my sounding board has been transformational. I now understand the power and value of goal setting and aligning these with what truly matters to me. John has provided me with a tool that we apply each month that enables me to track and measure my success, observe my behaviour and actions.  I can literally measure the return on my costs for hiring John and on my business and in my life.”

Financial

“It was incredibly enlightening in all senses of the word: I feel lighter as I’m not anxious about my financial decisions, but I also have much more clarity and understanding on what’s possible for us and how we can go about not only making good financial decisions but actually achieve our dreams and goals much sooner than I would have thought possible. I feel calm and have a clear sense of purpose for the future.”
