ABOUT ME
I have been helping people to achieve their career and business goals throughout my career in the eye care business. I have been fortunate to have worked with people from many countries, including: the United States; South America; the Baltics; Central and Eastern Europe; Iberia; the Nordic countries and more. Now, I also specialise in coaching individuals to achieve their career and business goals. I am certified in both coaching and on-line learning. My career has taught me that people are capable of doing much more than they know. They just need someone to help them find their way.
COACHING SESSIONS
Online coaching is a great way to work together at convenient times, in or out of normal office hours, anywhere in the world. We will work together to identify your goals and create a strategy to achieve them. Although there may be many different steps in our journey, I work in 5 simple stages:
​
1. We will explore your current situation and confirm which part of your career or business you wish to work on.
2. We will discuss a range of opportunities and define a clear objective that will make a real difference for you.
3. We will brainstorm many possible ideas to reach your goal and agree a list of potential solutions.
4. We will write an action plan with clear practical steps towards your goal.
5. You will work through your plan and I will support you on your journey through Skype sessions and electronic communication.

TESTIMONIALS
”I am very pleased and impressed with the structure of the sessions to get to the results. John is committed, responsive and strong in catching up things during the conversations, where he then challenges, structures and sets clear goals for each session. With a soft appearance but with a clarity he has helped me to get closer to my personal goals, the meetings has had a huge impact on my development."

"John is highly skilled in bringing out the best in people. Of the all people I know he is the one who knows how to support you to go always an extra mile. Sometimes it is not easy, but he coaches you to step out from your comfort zone and exceed your limits. He remembers to give feedback, and drives you toward your goals.”

" John is a truly inspirational leader in every aspect and someone whom I credit the most as being the mentor that helped shape me to be the operator that I am today. I am one of the many beneficiaries of Johns enthusiasm with regard to people development and will therefore always credit him for this accordingly and will endorse him without hesitation to anyone lucky enough to deal with him directly and learn from his experience".
