'It was a very positive day, insightful and enabled me to reflect on my own practice as well as exploring the rationale and strategy behind the practice in place at [the school]. It was a pleasure to work alongside Jon and to learn from him, understanding the craft of reviewing to elicit authentic, transparent and thoughtful information from the staff team at the school.'

'An excellent process. Challenging but very supportive. Lots of new ideas, even when we are doing very well, we could do better. Areas to improve made clear. Professional dialogue and deep questioning. Thorough understanding of my two tiny schools and our unique processes gained over the day. A good experience.'

'This review really allowed us to confront what we knew but perhaps had not acknowledged clearly enough. It will now be the basis of a whole school QFT focus ....'

Working as an accountant in a busy accountancy firm, I was initially sceptical about how coaching could fit into my professional life. Jon Gibson completely changed that perspective. His approach is warm, engaging, and refreshingly fun, while maintaining a high level of professionalism throughout. Every session felt like a safe space to explore challenges and opportunities without judgement.
Jon helped me identify areas for growth I hadn’t considered before, and gave me practical tools to improve my confidence, communication, and leadership skills. I’ve noticed a real difference in how I manage client relationships and collaborate with colleagues. Coaching with Jon wasn’t just about ticking boxes; it was about unlocking potential in a way that felt personal and empowering.
I’d recommend him to anyone looking to take their professional development seriously, but with a human touch.
