Testimonials and Coaching Highlights

“John was fantastic. I have had coaching in the past which has been valuable but reached a natural conclusion and I was skeptical about the value that this coaching would bring. John was able to diagnose areas for development and then deliver guidance that created genuine impact and change.  We worked extensively using mindfulness to enable me to quickly access a calm and confident state, that allows me to engage more effectively and influence executives and has also improved my overall state of calm and wellbeing.  He continually looked to provide additional guidance, useful tools and frameworks in many different areas including performance management, running a team, influence, and executive engagement.”  Vice-President

“John is a wealth of knowledge and resources! He brings a tremendous amount of experience, insight and heart to the table. He’s a great listener and understands how to empathize with your challenges, whether he’s been there or not. Then it’s time to get down to business and create actionable plans to address your needs. Whether he’s offering some useful frameworks to apply, giving you candid feedback that you really needed to hear, or walking through your big deliverable – I always enjoy our sessions and the balanced approach he’s able to strike.” CEO

“I had an overall fantastic coaching experience with John over the last few months. He truly opened up my eyes to the world of coaching and how helpful it can be.  I was going through a really intense time at work as a new member of the leadership team, and I seriously don’t think I would’ve had the same impact in my role without his help. In addition to coaching me through challenges as a manager, he was also instrumental in helping me navigate really tough personal career development situations, like salary negotiations and advocating for my role. He has a lot of experience with mindfulness, meditation, and stress reduction and was great at coaching me on how to apply mindfulness techniques to be a more compassionate and diplomatic leader.  In addition to being a very insightful and empathetic listener, John also provided a plethora of great tactical tools and resources that I am still using after our engagement. After working with John, I feel much more self-aware and empowered to approach difficult conversations and deal with challenging situations at work. I highly recommend him!” Head of marketing

“John was an incredible coach. We worked through a number of areas, most notably helping me craft frameworks around thinking through complex problems. He was the perfect combination of personal and professional. He was able to pull from relevant experience as well as bring in educational materials that were directly relevant to our work. He was a true partner.” CRO
