I have been working with Jonathan as part of my executive leadership development, and the experience continues to be both transformative and strategically valuable. His coaching has supported clearer decision making, strengthened my leadership impact, and improved my ability to navigate complex organisational challenges with confidence. His guidance in unlocking and interpreting my Gallup strengths has been particularly influential, enabling me to apply them with greater purpose and precision across my leadership practice. The structured reflection and goal setting have elevated my strategic thinking, built resilience, and increased my overall effectiveness in leading change.
Brainstorming solutions and actions forward. Using the time to explore ideas and shape these in readiness for next steps, meetings etc..
The off-loading of the issues that I feel I am facing has definitely helped, as has the understanding of why, given my character traits/strengths, those issues affect me in the way that they do. The suggestions and guidance that I have received with how to deal/approach these have been helpful.
A chance to stop and realign to moral purpose and be seen and heard.
My Go-Forward Coach has worked with me both personally and professionally within my business, working with my team in discovering our strengths and how to use these to optimise our performance. All employees who have worked with Go-Foorward and their programme of support have found them to be highly professional, an excellent communicator and gained useful insight to progress their own roles within the business. We came through as a stronger and more cohesive team striving together for the same goals.IndustryDirectorOptimise performanceHighly professional, supportive of the team in identifying and understand strengths to optimise performance.
Pause to reflect. Talking to someone who is familiar with schools but not results driven. Talking through ideas, having a confidential external support.
I am fortunate that my coach has experience in the areas I am developing and he has offered me valuable insights from his experience. Jonathan provides me with an alternative perspective, but also someone who listens to my ideas and acts as a critical friend.
The opportunity to pause and reflect out of the line management system but retaining a focus on professional development. The strengths analysis has been really helpful to help me spot and magnify my own strengths in my mind.
Time to slow down, pause, reflect and realign - what am I trying to achieve? What have I done? What needs to be done - how can I do this?
A time to reflect on leadership in a safe space.
I got in touch with Jonathan as I had heard good things and was not disappointed. He has a knack of really understanding you as a person and gave advice that always hit the mark.
I feel so much more confident in my approach to certain aspects of life and work and would happily recommend him to anybody who feels they need some direction. Good work Jonathan - highly recommended
Working with Jonathan around understanding my strengths and ways to improve was a great confidence boost during a tough point in my career. He is a great coach and communicator. I cant thank him enough for his support and would definitely recommend!!
Jonathan has a real talent in drawing out the best in people. After I was made redundant, Jonathan helped me define my skill-set and discover my strengths. He then helped me use these to position my CV to apply for appropriately roles I wanted. I found new employment swiftly, not just a stop-gap but the next step in my career. Jonathan encouraged, coached and up-skilled me for my next step. Highly recommended!
After recently returning back to the workplace from being a stay at home mum, my Coach provided a fantastic session & really offered support to identify my strengths and filled me with renewed confidence. My Coach's professional but friendly approach really made me feel at ease.
“The personal coaching session led by Jonathan was such a stress-free way to discuss my future after graduation and it has been incredibly helpful. I have a greater insight into what careers I find most fulfilling as well as how to showcase what talents I can bring to organisations. Thank you!”
