Strengths-Based Coaching and Mentoring for Leaders and Managers

Communication and Engagement

Clarity and engagement is critical to effective management. People want to be informed by their leader(s), inspired by them and acknowledged as being part of the success being achieved. John is able to support this regarding business plans, project plans, change plans or other.

Cultural Development and Practice

How healthy is your organization’s culture? How positive is your workplace? Every organization has a culture; they are all unique and have a significant effect on organizational performance. However, culture and cultural practice are not often given due attention and resource and are more often taken for granted and even ignored as not being important. John can help you to understand and shape your organization’s culture to be high performing, healthy and sustainable. This is equally applicable for your team or specific key relationships.

Strategic Planning

John works with teams and organizations to develop their vision and strategic goals for the future, based on a clear purpose and principles. To produce clear and engaging plans is essential, so that everyone knows what it is and furthermore understands their place in it. John uses facilitated sessions and workshops so that employees are engaged in the process and contribute to getting the work done.

Operational Review, Process Improvement and Managing Change

Instead of reacting to the challenges brought about by growth and change, lets work with them effectively & mindfully. Working with organizations and teams, John helps you to clarify the operational and cultural components of issues. From there, you can identify areas for improvement, create and find possibilities and alternatives, and decide on the most practical and beneficial options.
