I would strongly recommend Jon as a coach. Jon has taken the time to listen and truly understand me, my organizational needs and challenges as a leader. He’s been both supportive when needed but also has pushed me, helping me determine why I took certain actions and what I need to do differently moving forward. He’s held me accountable and kept me honest around my commitments and actions. I highly recommend Jon to anyone who wants to be a better leader and person. His guidance makes a difference.

Jon took time to understand me, my business, and the challenges I had before me. I appreciated his approach that allowed me to self-discover and find solutions and a direction there were unique to me. The result was a clear vision and strategy and the tools I needed to execute at the highest level with my geographically distributed team. He made me feel safe and open to explore openly and experiment when it made sense. I highly recommend Jon to someone who is driven and open to excellence.

I would highly recommend Jon as an executive coach at any stage of a career and since working with Jon, I have been promoted twice! Jon’s executive coaching style adapted to my needs which on any given day could be lending an ear to listen or asking the hard questions I needed to ask of myself. Jon has helped uncover my ability to not only empower others, but to first and foremost empower myself. Equipping me with strategies and exercises to focus on my own self-management, he flourished my ability to work with and influence others both horizontally and vertically. Jon has helped me develop lifelong skills to enhance not only my career in professional services and construction, but tools that any human should have in personal relationships as well.

Jon has been an invaluable resource across multiple stages of my career, from responding to 360 results as an assistant professor, growing my team and network, taking on bigger projects to applying for leadership roles and succeeding as a leader. He’s been similarly transformational for a range of personalities and situations across our large and complex institution, and I take every opportunity to recommend him to others.
