I worked with Jon on a few key areas such as navigating some of the issues I was experiencing in my role with greater confidence and self-belief. I feel so much more confident in, and deserving of, my role. Issues at work which previously would’ve bothered me during evenings/weekends do not – a huge win for me. I loved working with Jon – it was such a luxury to have his expertise and outside perspective. I would recommend him very highly to anyone looking for coaching/self-improvement.
