"Looking at what we do with a view to doing it better"

The wisest people I meet, and work alongside, want sustainable progress and successful outcomes in work and life, as I do.

​

I’ve learnt our best work emerges when:

​

  • there’s a culture of respect and interdependence,

  • collaboration enables and empowers,

  • self-evaluation leads to self-belief,

  • we become determined to take action.

​

Simply put, it’s about ‘looking at what we do with a view to doing it better’.

Collaborating, enabling and empowering

I listen carefully. And have huge respect for those working hard to reach their potential. A rich vein of wisdom runs through experiences and together we can mine it. It’s about refining their practical intelligence, nous, and working towards where they want and need to be. I also love nurturing a can do attitude - empowering those who have yet to realise their potential.

​

These beliefs were forged in my 50-year career, leading and collaborating with individuals and teams in education, business and the wider community. 

​

John is wise and he wants you to be wise too. It sounds dramatic but he changed my life by helping me regain the courage and self-belief which had been temporarily taken from me.

I have so often seen the long-lasting impact that John has when he works with groups and individuals alike. He brings an insight that is rooted in research and people matter to him - he ensures their needs come first.

John is extraordinarily energetic and creative, with a capacity to pull together disparate ideas in a way that is readily accessible. He is a pleasure to work with bringing warmth and a profound sense of values and purpose into everything he does.
