He is inviting, collaborative, accountable and customer oriented, making for an easy working partnership focused on producing tangible change. I have been strengthened through his direct, no excuses approach and his curious questioning. I have especially appreciated his flexibility to my learning preferences. He introduced various methods and exercises, re-framed information to increase my understanding and brought in external resources, articles, and media to create the ideal coaching environment for me.
As a senior management team member of a fast-growing organization, John has helped me quickly and effectively hone my process management, people development and leadership presence skills. I now have the self-awareness, tools, and methods to respond to complex, dynamic and ambiguous situations and people, and best of all am less stressed. I quickly recognized that while I had the intention of being an effective leader, I had to build and commit to a structure that would work for me and my team. In a few short months, my actions are intentional, purposeful, measured and impactful, and I truly have John to thank for helping me see that I have always had the tools, however simply needed to sharpen and hone them.
