Recent Clients

 

As a consultant John has gained experience across a wide range of sectors including Elite Sport (UK Sport, British Olympic Association, and many individual sports), Media (BBC), Construction and Manufacturing (Balfour Beatty), FMCG (Proctor and Gamble), Pharmaceutical (Pfizer), Financial Services (HSBC), NHS and Local Government.

 

John’s recent coaching clients include an operations manager who had been given a 'final chance' to improve their people management skills. Their team has now become one of the top performing units in the company.

 

 A senior team of a large college benefitted from John’s expertise when the school dropped from 'excellent' to 'satisfactory' in their Ofsted report and they were keen to explore their role as leaders in returning the school to excellent.

 

For the last few months, John has been working with a newly promoted senior manager of a major telecoms company who wanted support in thinking through what the new role required of him.

 

A newly formed senior team in charge of housing within a local authority is currently working with John to help them define their ambitions for the service, and maximise their impact in the first 6 months.

 

Another client includes a woman who had been identified as “high potential” by her organisation, only to then get no promotion for three years. The coaching focused on how she could build her credibility and brand in the minds of senior leaders, and she was successful in getting selected for the next position that came up.
