Associate Coach

 

John is an experienced coach, consultant and

trainer.  Before developing his current active portfolio, he gained considerable command and management experience during 30 years' Police service. It is his firm belief that individuals  at all levels can realise their own future potential, whilst they may not always know what that is. Organisations can best improve their own performance by improving the ‘environment’ of their people. He is passionate about people’s ability to use everyday life as a source of learning. He has a track record as a champion of fairness, diversity and development.

His approach to coaching is holistic, based on learning; reflection; coachee retaining responsibility; the coachee's values and beliefs.

His primary coaching work is in leadership, development and performance (individual and business/organisational). Aware of organisational and individual context, he involves aspects such as diversity and life-work balance as appropriate.

Not being driven by a single psychological (or other) approach he can bring a number of tools and techniques into play when appropriate. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and a Member of the European Coaching and Mentoring Council.

His career in the UK police service included high profile operational command as well as senior HR roles at regional level. Within the public sector he has worked in central and local government bodies in the UK as well as the Europen Commission, TfL, IdeA, the Audit Commission and Scottish Leadership Foundation.

He has worked with managers in many sectors of private business as well as central and local government, health, education and the voluntary sector. Within the European Commission he has coached Directors, Heads of Unit and managers in specialist roles as well as management teams. He has worked in many EC Directorates and in several different European countries.
