What People Are Saying

Apurva Dubey, Asset Investment Recovery (AIR)

“John is an amazing coach who helped me gain clarity and focus on my goals. He asked me deep and insightful questions that challenged me to think differently and explore new perspectives. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a coach who can help them grow and achieve their potential.”

Silke Pleus, CPHR Director of People & Culture at Beacon Community Services

“We were delighted with the high caliber of the executive coaching. [John] brought significant life, leadership and business experience which was of great value to our team. Emerging leaders were able to identify and work on their unique challenges...They gained valuable tools and improved confidence in their roles.”

Ivan Rincon, Executive Director BCPS

“Thank you John. At the end of these sessions, I now have a clearer sense of purpose. I know that I can thrive even at the tail end of my career, and that I still have many things to offer the BC Government, my colleagues, and the citizens of our province.”

Stephen Hood, Wildfire Technician

“The challenge was that while there is a lot of leadership material available through books and online, there wasn't a focussed program that would allow me to explore my own concerns.  Engaging with John allowed me to quickly drill down to the issues and questions I had.”
