Testimonials

John has exceeded expectations in every way. He has been an incredibly effective coach and therapist, working with us individually and as a couple. He has the capacity to see clearly what needs to change and he has a variety of tools to help facilitate the change. I would highly recommend John to anybody who genuinely wants to enhance their life. John is real, compassionate and extremely competent. He isn't going to enable you, so buckle up and get ready to do some work. SG | Dunedin | 11 Jul 2020

Thanks for the session today John, I always feel so much better after them. You have a way of helping me understand where I'm off-track without making me feel bad about it. I really value the time you spend with me.

John, many thanks for our session today. I left feeling inspired and refocused!

Thanks John, you created a relaxed environment, then got us involved - the degree of vulnerability and sharing of our strengths and weaknesses has been invaluable. I was surprised at how easily and well our Vision/Goal and Purpose piece came together as a result. Overall, excellently facilitated, you set the context to get us kick started, then good prompting, processes and methodology sped us through the day. It's great that we're going to build on this, review and re-set every quarter. We're on a marathon, not a sprint.

The sessions with you have been invaluable for me. Through them I've identified changes that I'm now making - working on these, replacing old habits with new and more effective ones. Thanks John.

Hi John - thanks for the session yesterday, it really was good to have the senior leadership team together. I know people gave feedback at the end of the session, but just thought I’d let you know that every single one of them have since said to me that this session was the best one so far, breaking down the barriers and becoming more open to working more ethically in a people-centered place, and what that means for each of them. Thank you for the great work you are doing with us all as we work through this journey . It’s noticeable already that culture is changing here. I know we still have a fair way to go and lots more work to do, but I was delighted to get such positive reinforcement unsolicited from the group and felt I needed to share with you.

John, thanks very much for your help in facilitating the workshops and all your pre-work to help make them successful. A number of people have since complimented the calibre of the skills you bring with you.

Since the conflict resolution sessions, the group is going well. They have their meetings as per their agreements and their manager said it was very worthwhile and very positive. They all seem positive and are working well together. A good sign was one of the team going well above the call of duty last week to fix gear at short notice.

Thanks for facilitating the sessions John. I'm pleased with the immediate outcomes and am really feeling optimistic about the further changes to come.

I was very appreciative of the session we had the other day and I value your openness with me. The way you spoke so plainly about your experiences personally was very valuable and moving for me. I'm learning a lot about discernment, honesty and loyalty as well. Important lessons I feel for the time ahead.

Thanks, the workshop was well facilitated; processes worked well, were easy to follow and extracted thoughts and ideas from people very well. Everyone contributed and the contributions themselves were great. The quality of your listening was noticeable and had enormous effect. Overall, the strategic plan development has been a great management tool and enjoyable going through the process; it is now up to us to make it happen.

John, it was great to meet you on Monday. Thank you for your excellent facilitation of the day. We reviewed some of the outcomes today at our Directors Operating Group meeting and value the excellent progress that has been made - well done.

Thank you for your efforts and professionalism in our workshop sessions. Because of your skills the outcome has been even better than I had hoped for. While the key to success is about our ability to implement the matters identified (the step where we've fallen short previously) I'm confident we are better placed than has been the case in the past. And we had fun doing it!

John is very relaxed and explains concepts very well. He obviously enjoys his work - I've learnt a lot and its helping me heaps. Thanks very much!
