About us
As a business coach I work with individuals who are interested in making lasting and meaningful changes to the way they work and the impact that they are having.
I discovered the value of coaching during a career of over 30 years in investment banking. From strategic planning and goal setting through the day-to-day management of a complex business, I benefitted from the neutral, independent perspective and curiosity provided by coaching.
In my case it was essentially all about generating more profitable revenue by making sure that clients received a service that they valued while applying the resources to achieve this as efficiently as possible.
What inspires and motivates me?
- Collaborating with individuals who are interested in making lasting and meaningful changes to the way they work and the impact that they are having.
- Working with emerging leaders and those individuals who are transitioning into senior leadership positions.
- Helping Individuals find more professional fulfilment through understanding the motivation behind their chosen goals
- Collaborating with senior leaders to accomplish specific goals by unblocking real or imagined obstacles
- Developing self-awareness for those looking to leverage their innate strengths and understanding how they are perceived by others
I graduated from the Meyler Campbell business coaching programme in September 2021.
What would you like to transform?
There are times in all of our careers when we need to change, adapt and grow. Often context matters and it can directly influence the need for behavioural change. Authenticity and vulnerability are increasingly identified as valuable leadership traits and organisations are becoming more values driven and purpose led. Whatever you would like to achieve, coaching can help you transform when you need to develop and grow in a rapidly changing environment.
High performance leadership
What is expected of leaders is continuously evolving but there are some essential skills that differentiate high performers. Building and managing an outstanding team with the appropriate complimentary skills and a combined vision and sense of purpose is a great place to start. Leveraging a great team requires advanced communication skills as well as the ability to manage conflict so that it can be constructive rather than destructive. Creating space and time to think and plan is also important. Equally, setting and managing clear boundaries between professional and private life can help both to flourish. Coaching can successfully build momentum and confidence in all aspects of performance leadership.
Thrive with new responsibilities
Anyone transitioning into a position with new or different leadership responsibilities potentially faces challenges over and above the development of basic leadership skills. The new role might require a shift in mindset from contributor to leader. It might also involve handling new responsibilities while still performing a previous role. It will almost certainly require the ability to delegate and to let go. All of this while possibly having to manage former peers and friends and learning new skills such as giving and receiving feedback. A coach can be the sounding board that facilitates the successful transition from expert to leader in a confidential, risk free setting.
Performance through self-awareness
The way you engage with the world is unique to you. The more that you understand about how you might react in certain situations will allow you to adjust your behaviour to achieve the best outcome for the business, your colleagues and yourself. Understanding and leveraging your strengths will result in achieving results with less effort. Similarly appreciating and operating in line with your values can help create an environment that fosters fulfilment. Coaching can help you see yourself as others see you and help you to take advantage of your natural preferences. It can also help you to identify valuable characteristics in others that elegantly compliment your abilities.

Hedge Fund Partner - September 2021
"As a business owner it’s fair to say the last few years have been amongst the most challenging experiences of my professional and personal life. John’s capability, compassion and commitment has set me back on the front foot, revitalised my energy and most of all helped me recognise and take on the challenges that lay ahead. I’d encourage anyone to get in touch and engage John on a coaching basis, it’ll be one of your best personal investments."

"I strongly recommend John as a coach. Faced with a growing list of conflicting demands, John’s calm and clear approach helped me see the ‘wood for the trees’, and to produce a workable plan to move forward. Talking to John was not only helpful, it was fun too!"
Lawyer and Serial Entrepreneur - March 2022
“This experience has allowed me to take the next step as a leader in my organisation. John helped me to deconstruct some of my perceived weaknesses and guided me through a process where I was able to improve certain things, but also (importantly) to alter the perception of some of these ‘weaknesses’ and own them as strengths. I would highly recommend John as a coach for any leader trying to improve, advance and excel in their role.”
