I was going through a very difficult time in my life. A friend of mine introduced me to Jon and he recommended to me that I start having coaching sessions with him. I reluctantly contacted Jon, thinking this would be a waste of my time and money. I was completely wrong. In only 4 months, Jon had an incredible impact in my life. Step by step, he helped me to get back the control of my thoughts, to focus on what matters in my life and stop wasting my time on things out of my control. More importantly, Jon is genuine. He does not hesitate to disagree and correct me when I am going back to some wrong habits. He truly cares about my progress. In 4 months Jon solved my biggest issues. I decided to keep on having coaching sessions for another 9 months as I know he is the best coach and person to help me if I want to become the best possible version of myself that I can be.

Jon took a keen interest in what was going on in my life. From the first meeting he added great value in helping me structure a few key aspects of my life and some of the tools that I could use to manage my busy lifestyle. Each session was filled with candour which I really appreciated. Jon tells it how it is, which was exactly what I needed to hear. He follows up every session with a detailed email of the discussion and his advice, this was really helpful to use as a reference. Jon, I owe you a lot your unique perspective, humanity and way of explaining concepts make you an excellent coach. You are also very knowledgeable about fitness and exercise routines and this was much appreciated!

We are both very happy with the direction you want to take our son Jonathan’s sport and life skills. We trust you implicitly and no bigger way to express that trust than to allow you total free rein in the manner, the substance and direction you wish to take Jonathan in his development at this stage of his life. As I will be away for many months of the year, Jonathan will need a male figure around to direct him in life skills and sport so that he can gain confidence on the sports field at school. There is no better person than you.

At first I was skeptical of meeting him, I didn’t think I needed any life coaching, I thought he was going to be another person telling you what to do. Yet, Jon was a huge help; advising me on how I should be planning my day, altering the way I thought about school and allowing me to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. It led to the improvement of my life, whether it be turning an E to an A in chemistry, revitalising my love of reading or improving my sleeping schedule. Thanks to Jon, the way I tackle challenges in my life has changed for the better, the lessons I’ve learned are priceless, it was worth every minute.

The only thing I can say is that I’m a changed man…Now don’t get me wrong my life isn’t perfect yet and neither am I…I still make the most amazing mistakes and all my problems have not disappeared over night but I am now capable to deal with it…what Jonathan has given me are the tools to better myself. He didn’t give me a fish; he gave me a fishing rod.

I began explaining my world of chaos. A world of self doubt, unnecessarily harsh self-analysis, shifting blame and ultimately, relentless fear. I felt like I had lost my sense of self and along with this, my direction in life. Jon’s easy going, non-judgmental nature and uncanny ability to get to the heart of each issue has and continues to help me along this journey.”

Leaders also have personal life issues. The higher they go, though, the lonelier it becomes with no-one to discuss these with. Jon’s work-life balance approach to coaching tackles this head on, dealing with issues such as feelings of:

Why is my life so hard, so difficult, why am I suffering so much?
I feel so overwhelmed by everything, all the things I have to do, all my thoughts.
I’m worried about my job security; am I regarded as good at my work and an asset to the company?
Can I lead my team to achieve our targets and goals?
I’m so scared of the future, of going out into the world on my own, of starting something new, all the choices and decisions I have to make.
I am so lonely; I don’t want to be alone anymore.
Why am I here? What’s it all about? What is my purpose? I don’t feel as if I’m making a real contribution.
I want to be a good leader and to be liked at the same time.
I often feel tired, I have no energy or stamina; I wish I could do something about my health, my weight, my fitness.
My relationship with my partner is not going so well, I’d like us to understand each other and communicate better, and be close and happy again like we used to be.
I just want this situation to end, I don’t know what to do, I must end it.

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”

Mahatma Gandhi
