It was a pleasure to work with John on the planning and delivery of our team away day. John listened to the objectives of the day and suggested activities that blended an element of fun, with business themes. Thank you.

John’s talk was thoroughly engaging, insightful and kept attendees involved. I have been presenting for years, however, his presentation allowed me to have clarity with what message I want to get across and some food for thought with my body language etc. I would highly recommend.

John personalised coaching techniques to a level that recognised the particular demands of senior academics and the very particular peculiarities world of academia! He was approachable and engendered a sense of trustworthiness. So much so that the usual cynical defences employed by academics when faced with “management stuff” were dropped and quality conversations about goals, challenges and tactics were allowed to happen.

As a new business owner, I had plenty of enthusiasm and passion for what I had set out to do but this was quickly filled with chaos and desperation without any structure. John’s session on Vision has given me a platform of clarity and focus and taught me to take a step back and picture where I want to be and how I intend to get there. My business now has a path to follow in order to grow into what I want it to be and how I want it to be perceived. This has not only helped with my business but also taken a great deal of stress and worry away, allowing me to enjoy my work-life balance a lot more. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who is feeling a bit lost or overwhelmed and John’s expertise and guidance can get you back on track.

I wanted to thank you for the session and for your guidance around how to pitch my presentation discussing the development of a teacher-led assessment of children’s movement. The session really helped shape my ideas for how to plan and deliver the presentation. I delivered this last week and feel that it was the one of the best executed and well received presentation that I’ve delivered. I have to say that I now feel much more confident in preparing engaging and impactful presentations. Thanks again.

The benefits of working with John is clarity, focus, accountability and productivity, which, as we know, brings profitability. I would highly recommend John Drysdale as a business coach and would encourage anyone wondering about coaching and is it worth the investment to speak with John.
