Jonathan Forrest Email & Phone Number

I am an experienced consultant, coach and business leader, and have worked with many of the world’s leading organisations including Astra Zeneca, Barclays Capital, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, the NHS, Oracle, RBS, Roche, Schering Plough, Tesco, Royal Mail, and Siemens.My last major corporate role was as Vice President and Executive Director at Goldman Sachs - Human Capital Management (HCM) division. During my tenure I created and delivered numerous global change and learning initiatives. As part of the prestigious Goldman Sachs "Pine Street" top talent development team and working under the leadership of ex-GE leadership guru Steve Kerr (now a director at Harvard Business Press), I designed, created and delivered with my team, the pioneering in-house leadership development programme at Goldman Sachs. As a seasoned leader I was the most-requested coach-mentor within HCM.I left Goldman Sachs in 2004 to work full-time as a leadership and personal development coach enabling me to enhance and develop my own skillset in coaching, facilitating and delivering keynote addresses and to work with different companies. As a result of this I have worked with many global companies on programmes and interventions ranging from 1-1 executive coaching and self-leadership programmes through to large scale senior level leadership and team building events.As well as extensive, international and blue-chip experience as a coach, I hold CIPD certification and am accredited by the Hay Group in their Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI). In addition to being an accredited coach in Zenger and Folkman’s “Extraordinary Leader” 360 instrument, I have a very unique string to his bow…I trained as an opera singer and have performed in many prestigious venues across Europe, and as a result can bring a whole new dimension to the area of communication and presentation based on my years of voice training.
