Conversation with John 

Ben Gilchrist - Global VP, Ventures at SAP

John helped to change my perceptions about my career goals and overcome inherent biases I had about what’s possible and ultimately be bolder with my ambitions, and shift my thinking towards success.
While John applies an easy, conversational style, it challenged my thinking, held me accountable, and ultimately changed the way I thought about immediate and future challenges I was facing.

John is an exceptional individual and a very generous mentor. I have had the pleasure of working with him for the past year.

In addition, he helped me create a framework that worked for me

I cannot recommend John more highly both as a coach and a mentor. He listens deeply and asks insightful questions that have provoked multiple light bulb moments for me! He is 100% the real deal, and a wonderfully genuine and generous person.

John really made me change the way I think. Since I was 10 years old I have always focused on what I can’t do rather than what I can. After a few sessions with John I had a eureka moment at the top of a foggy mountain as the voice in my head told me I couldn’t ski down. Then remembered his words – “You are your thoughts” and re-framed my mindset and a few minutes later I made it to the bottom without falling over. Those four simple words are front of mind every day and have genuinely changed my self-perception.

The PI course was an enriching experience, largely thanks to John's exceptional coaching. His kindness, calm demeanour, and empathetic approach made the journey even more enjoyable.

I particularly appreciated the networking opportunities John orchestrated with fellow course participants from diverse backgrounds. Connecting with like-minded individuals who were also committed to enhancing their thinking patterns was truly uplifting.

The app's exercises were not only user-friendly but also remarkably effective. They proved to be a lifeline during a challenging phase, significantly boosting my mental resilience.

I wholeheartedly endorse both John and this course for anyone eager to elevate their mental well-being, with John's coaching being a standout highlight of the program

Elliot - Entrepreneur & Mindset Health Expert 

Positive Intelligence was a great program! It helped me to create a practice of grounding myself each day and several weeks after the program I’m still using some of the techniques. There were also some powerful visualisations and insights that really helped to reshape my understanding of myself and it provided a language to explain my behaviour in a very self-compassionate way.

John was a great facilitator of the program. He led weekly group sessions that helped the cohort to explore how the program had affected us and he regularly provided motivation and encouragement. His kind, patient and vulnerable approach helped to open up conversation and move us through the program. Thanks John!
