John FreshneyMy Personal Philosophy & Approach to Coaching

As a coach and training consultant I have more than 12 year's experience helping individuals improve their performance and achieve their personal and business ambitions. I work at all levels, with leaders, managers and team members, helping build the skills and relationships required for ultimate personal performance and maximum business successful.

My coaching philosophy is driven by a firm belief that everyone of us has the innate capability to achieve anything we want to, as long as we are determined to do so. Coaching for me therefore has three aims:

  • Firstly, helping someone to understand and harness their current strengths, abilities, experience and knowledge
  • Secondly, supporting them in setting realistic, achievable and worthwhile goals to aim for
  • Thirdly, helping identify and obtain the additional skills, knowledge and resources they may need to achieve their aims

Below are some comments from people with whom I have worked.

"In the past John has helped me negotiate my way through many changes within my company by helping me to prepare and plan for these changes positively and turn them to my advantage. In our coaching sessions I often use him as a sounding board to test out my ideas, or sometimes air concerns or discuss problems. This proved just as valuable as the more structured support that John can also provide. I have found having a good coach to be of tremendous value and would have no hesitation in recommending John's services."

Steven Day

 

"John possesses a rare quality in the respect that he can really push and challenge your thinking without making you feel stupid or wrong. He is also one of the few people I have worked with who truly values difference and constantly encourages people with whom he works to embrace what they do best and manage those areas in which they are less strong."

Sean Miller

 

"To be able to talk through my concerns with someone who 'understood' and who helped me realise - no I hadn't got it all wrong - maybe I needed to look at it from different angles. Through working with John I surprised myself with how much I developed. My relationship with my colleagues, family and friends is so much better and 'easier'. In fact my whole self-confidence has grown so much."
