Reg Vincent - Team Leader

"Back in September 2003 I experienced a crisis in my working life brought on by months of increasing stress. Fortunately I worked for a company who had a strong human resources team with good procedures to assist employees experiencing problems similar to mine. I was referred to John and it was with a great deal of apprehension I went along for my first meeting with him. At that time I was not talking coherently, nor thinking logically. It only took a couple of meetings for me to feel relaxed in John's presence.

It was refreshing to find someone who had time to listen, and John is a great listener. He showed plenty of empathy, and it was due to his expert understanding of my situation which enabled me to get back on track again and be released from the waking nightmare that I was experiencing. For that I am very grateful".

"When I went to see John, I didn't want to sit down with someone and pour my heart out then end up sobbing and being consoled and not really getting anywhere. What I wanted was someone who would listen and provide me with some simple actions which I could implement myself.

They weren't rocket science, in fact most of them were common sense. Once you get into this cycle you start to forget about common sense".

Kiri Warburton - Clinical Manager / Team leader

"John has the uncanny ability to pull out a gut wrenching insight that needs acknowledging either as a block to my progress or as progress I have not recognised".

Grant Downie - Retail Consultant

"John uses practical, usable tools and explanation, within an encouraging and supportive environment and a sense of humour, that has enabled me to explore, understand and resolve repressed feelings.

He has helped me to engage with life more fully".

Glenn Stratford - Manager

"I am the General Manager of a manufacturing business in Auckland. Prior to meeting John I was employing technical people who were not delivering on their expectations. John has coached, educated and helped me to understand the different criteria I need to apply to my recruitment process. I am now employing a different type of person who takes more ownership and accountability. The business is seeing a more positive outcome".

Gillian Taylor, Business Consultant

"John is highly experienced in working with people in a personalised way, helping them to make the most of their abilities personally and professionally. I have seen positive results in people he has worked with and would recommend him to my business clients as a provider of personal coaching services".
