• “I wouldn't hesitate in recommending working with John. Whether you feel like your life is running away with you, that you have lost control on how to manage your time, that you can't work out what your next step is, or you just want to talk a single issue through, John is not only an invaluable ear but will guide you with unique expertise, experience and insight. You will end up with a clearer sense of yourself, your objectives and how you tick. I found it particularly useful in learning how to make key decisions, which then in turn helped with lots of smaller every day decisions which used to cause wobbles. If you are wobbly, go and see John!”

    Miranda Hart - Actress and Comedian

  • “John Nicholson gets my highest recommendation as an executive coach. His unique ability to recognize, understand and work through complex issues has allowed me to change my thinking, and most importantly my actions. Along the way there were surprising (and sometimes painful) personal realisations, but John’s coaching continued to push me to focus on the outcome which resulted in better responses, both at work and at home. The difference maker was that he knew how to help me address them in a methodical way, and showed me the tools to continue that ongoing development. John was direct and tactful and did not hesitate to point out areas that needed to be considered a different way. He listened, foremost, and helped me identify the challenges I was having. Being an effective leader takes time, desire and hard work. If you are ready to put in the effort, I can assure you that working with John will produce positive results.”

    Neha R Patel - Vice President, American Express

  • “I am pleased to be able to commend John Nicholson to you as a coach. He has been a fantastic support, listening ear and insightful voice, enabling me to flourish more effectively as a leader and manager of others. John is not afraid to challenge people where necessary but is able to do that in an encouraging and non-confrontational way. He has the gifts and experience to be able to offer practical wisdom and tools that are immediately applicable and easy to put into practice. I have grown personally and in what I am able to offer at work as a result of spending time with John.”

    Andrew Emerton - Dean of St Mellitus

  • “I cannot rate John Nicholson highly enough. He has made a huge impact on the way I now approach people and my work. John has the ability to draw things out of me that were personal and emotional in a constructive and beneficial manner. He then gave me practical tools to deal with my emotions and thus avoid areas of conflict within the workplace. I learnt to be more patient and less reactive and this gave me space to deal with some difficult situations and people. I undertook with Senior colleagues a 360 report on me and this revealed some negative traits I was unaware of. I found it helpful to reassess my style of working with someone I trusted. John has a vast amount of experience and he is very approachable, a quality I needed to experience in order to open up and change. He made wanting to change an exciting and easier concept because he is understanding, caring and empathetic, but also challenging and direct.”
