"Jon is patient and listens carefully, shining a light on what lies beneath the surface to what is holding you back, keeping you on track and reminding you of your commitments to your vision. His knowledge of positive psychology and his common sense approach helped me to stay above my fears and act from a higher sense of purpose. During the time I have spent working with Jon, I have opened up new career directions, broken a creative block, transformed my relationship to my daily working practice, prioritising balance and a deeper relationship to my values of connection and creativity... I am eternally grateful for Jon’s support, he comes highly recommended."

Before working with Jon, I was constantly asking myself: am I capable of doing this? Is this ok? I felt stuck. By getting me to focus on my values, interests and motivations instead of performance, results or status, Jon helped me to become more confident at work, and to identify what I am comfortable doing and what is a bit of a stretch but still within my reach. He also helped me to position myself with respect to factors that I can’t really control.

Now, I’m more fulfilled, satisfied and motivated—not just day-to-day, but also in terms of how I see the next six months, or how I might spend the next year or even the rest of my career. When I'm talking in front of my whole team, I'm more focused on what I'm motivated by, what I value, and how happy I am to work with them, as opposed to worrying that they may think I am not working hard enough or that they could do better to meet me halfway. That comes across as increased confidence. I'm doing interesting work, making a difference and growing and learning in ways that are really important to me and useful to the team that I'm working with. It has been a really enriching, satisfying shift for me.

"Initially, I had goals in mind, but I didn’t have a specific trajectory to get there; now, I have a better sense of my identity, which has given me a better sense of what career trajectory I want to take. I see the value in what I am doing and in the skills that I bring to the table, which I didn't before. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and doing things I never would have done because I would have seen them as an obstacle or a problem instead of as an opportunity.

I thought coaching was just going to be a way of getting from one point to another. Instead, I got an understanding of the values that drive me and the sort of opportunities that those particular values would be well-suited for. I don’t just have a structure now. I didn't just reduce the chaos. I got a clear vision of what I want to do. I manage my time better, my relationships better. I am not stretching myself to a point where I'm not my priority anymore. I didn't think I'd get all of these things together as a result of doing coaching. "

"Since I have started working with Jon, I have not only been promoted twice; I have renewed my enjoyment in my job and my motivation to continue in it. I feel more confident that if I want to take on more responsibility, I would enjoy that and would be able to find a path to get there. My work/life balance has improved: I have better, more collegial working relationships at almost every level, which means that I’m not worrying about work all the time and I am able to be more present when I am with my family and enjoy my time with them more.

I wasn’t expecting coaching to have the profound effect that it did. Coaching was very helpful in figuring out how to get the most out of my job, and it continues to do that even as my role evolves. It’s easy to just phone it in, go through the motions, leave and come back the next day. But if you’re thoughtful about it, you can get more out of work and your career, and coaching has been and continues to be helpful in that regard."

"Jon did a really nice job of taking me toward something that was hard but letting me do the actual work — which I think is much more useful than being told what to do. Through thoughtful questions and carefully considered words, Jon kept inviting me in a polite and persistent way to think, “maybe I should be thinking about that differently.” He did a good job of pointing out observations about myself that I had not considered. Even over Zoom, Jon does a remarkable job of making me feel like he’s present, like he’s really here with me."

Lindsay

"Working with Jon allowed me to achieve enlightened introspection. Without ever over-interfering, and always with kindness, Jon pushed me to direct my own analysis. Through attentive listening and judicious questioning, he helped me better realise which professional projects excite and uplift me, what my values are, and the professional environments in which I am most likely to flourish."

Kaji

"With Jon’s guidance I was able to see my professional concerns from a different perspective. He followed up with me after our sessions which helped me stay on track in achieving my goals. I have used the insights gained with Jon to create new opportunities in my role. I am now more confident in taking initiative professionally and much happier in my job. I highly recommend Jon as a coach - he is practical, thoughtful and very approachable."

Alex

"Jon’s coaching skills, in addition to his personal qualities, make him the ideal coach for moving forward with a professional or personal project. His ability to listen with genuine compassion puts me at ease so that I can tackle problems one by one. His method of coaching likewise allows me to reflect on the best way to improve or change certain aspects of my day-to-day life that will allow me to attain the objectives I have fixed. Being able to work with Jon is a real asset for the future realisation of my venture."

Manon

"Coaching with Jon helped me achieve clarity and confidence, so I could develop tailored tactics to achieve my work goals. He’s attentive and rigorous, while providing space and autonomy for his clients to discover the best path for them. Jon is friendly, relaxed and fun. It was great to be able to share a laugh while working on things. I really looked forward to our weekly sessions!"

Denise

"Jon is a devoted and inspiring coach. Although we started our collaboration in a difficult period of my life, working with Jon helped me to pause, reflect and find the right steps to move forward. He asked tough questions, provided consistent follow-up support and never gave up on me, making me feel safe to question my choices and explore new perspectives that allowed me to take my career and life in a positive direction."
