BackgroundJon is an expert practitioner in performance coaching, mentoring and behaviour change bringing together the leadership and performance benefits of both sport and business. Working with high performance coaches across elite environments within the rugby premiership, championship and international teams, to the delivery of leadership and coaching programmes within the armed forces, and global organisations. Drawing on an MSC in sports coaching, a teaching background, 18 years of people development within England Rugby and additional qualifications in leadership and mentoring; Jon has a level of insight and expertise that offers perspective, stability and a reshaping of tough times that convey learning moments for essential progress. PhilosophyThe creation of a learning relationship is critical to performance development and embedded within Jon’s philosophy of fostering personal and professional growth. His commitment to building a relationship with others, ‘investing in the individual’ and connecting ‘on a personal level’ through the capacity to listen, role models high trust behaviours and a connectivity that secures long term engagement. Providing the individual ownership and responsibility empowers a drive for personal learning and a search for feedback, new insights and knowledge. Jon promotes an environment built on celebrating successes, generating a level of confidence and psychological safety that affords others the space to articulate their valued thoughts, experiences and feelings. There’s a freedom to be vulnerable, to self-discover and make mistakes without judgement, to nurture and transform learning opportunities. Jon’s capacity to support reflective practitioners is of vital importance, helping them to raise their self-awareness through self-analysis and self-understanding to encourage behaviour change, accelerate competence and personal growth.
