About Leadership Coaching

Every organisation rises and falls on the strength of its people

Poor management is consistently cited by Seek surveys to be one of the main reasons employees are dissatisfied at work and leave.

I specialize in in-house participative leadership coaching designed to help managers lead more effectively and manage less. The focus is on:

  • What great leaders do
  • Self awareness and understanding your team
  • Motivating
  • Getting the right people on board
  • Coaching and developing

A business meeting scene with a male presenter who looks about 65 years old, standing and writing on a whiteboard. The whiteboard reads 'Great leadership' at the top, with 'Importance of vision' underneath, and then 'Gaining respect and trust' under that. The attendees are sitting casually around a table and are dressed in casual attire (not suits). The mood is collaborative and focused.

Exceptional!

John possesses an extraordinary skillset.

His leadership style fostered trust, motivation and autonomy. He led by example inspiring confidence and excellence within the team.

He understands people, leads with integrity and creates an environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

Outstanding!

John had the rare ability to both lead those around him and drive sales nationwide.

He “walks the talk” while inspiring those around him to reach their full potential.

Under John’s leadership sales more than doubled which was remarkable considering an already substantial market share in a mature market.

Six stars!

John was an incredible leader. He was confident, supportive, and always had team’s back.

His presentation skills were second to none.

He taught me so much. John encouraged me, challenged me, and made me better. His commitment and loyalty were unwavering.
