John draws on his many years of practical business and coaching experience to assist individuals to reflect on their style, approach, motivators and constraints and work with them to identify a few key behaviors or skills to modify to maximize performance. 

This requires a broad ranging exploration of an individual’s personality, strengths, weakness, ambitions and fears. It can be an emotional journey requiring thoughtful and sensitive guidance from the coach. John’s abilities to listen, ask the right questions, encourage open discussion and draw on personal experience make him a valued partner in the coaching relationship.
