About John Stannard Consulting

On this page you will find more detail of the executive coaching and mentoring process as well as professional testimonials from people who have experienced the sessions. 

Who is it for?

The coaching and mentoring that we do together is for both individuals and for businesses or organisations.

If you are an individual we can explore what you want from your work and how you can make it work for you.

  • Do you want to be more efficient with your thinking and physical processes of working so you have the energy to be at your most productive, creating the opportunities to help you develop and advance?
  • Do you want to build confidence for meetings and presentations with clients and colleagues?
  • Are you experiencing conflicts with colleagues that impact on your productivity and confidence that you are keen to resolve?
  • Do you want a safe and confidential environment to simply 'off-load' so you don't take your work pressures home with you?

If you are a business or organisation we can identify what you want to build within your employees and how to achieve your goals.

  • Do you want to identify emerging talent in your company or organisation to focus your investment for succession planning?
  • Are you looking to widen the reach of your client base by building upon and expanding the range of skills to your workforce?
  • Are you considering ways to attract talent and improve retention through creating an environment, which supports and values the wellbeing of the people in your business or organisation?

What I do

Through an intial free no obligation consultation, I will speak with you on your specific requirements and agree a coaching/mentoring package for either you or your business/organisation. This will comprise a number of follow up sessions (minimum three 1 hour sessions) which can be undertaken digitally, face to face or over the phone, and is focussed on what you want to cover.

The sessions are driven by the needs of those I work with and that work can cover the following areas:

  • Facilitation and presentation skills.
  • Listening and questioning skills.
  • Preparing, chairing and managing meetings.
  • Preparing and conducting interviews.
  • Strategies for work processes.
  • Public speaking.
  • Managing conflict at work.
  • Self-reflection and analysis.
  • Building confidence, self-reliance and resilience.
  • Personal and professional goal setting.
  • Assertive communication.
  • Problem solving.
  • Building trust and rapport.

Costs will be informed by your requirements discussed during our initial consultation and we can prepare packages to suit budgets for both individual and commercial situations. The minimum package comprising three 1 hour sessions and can be followed up with ongoing support as required.

If you are ready to start, simply complete the contact enquiry section, which you will find on each page and here. Just make sure you pop in an email address that is best to reach you and your preferred method of communication. I will get back to you within 48 hours, but if you haven't heard from me in that time please check your spam/junk folder. Any other questions, please see my FAQ page here

For me, success comes from creating the environment and realtionship to have honest, challenging, supportive and progressive conversations. The product of these conversations and their implementation in your working life should be positive. Testimonials from those who have been at the heart of these sessions are below. 

The time we spend together will allow you to release what’s on your mind, sort through what’s happening, identify key points of issue, and then provide some practical options which can be put into motion. Ongoing, we can assess how things are progressing and whether we need to revisit an option to change tact.

For the period of our mentoring/coaching relationship I will be there to be the ‘critical friend’; someone who will provide encouragement and support coupled with honest and constructive feedback; someone who can work with you to produce some options based in reality that you can use.

In the end though, this is about how you can be ultimately self-sufficient, that you can take our time together and draw on it when you need to, to empower you with the confidence and resilience necessary for you to see and feel progress. To make the most out of who you are.

Professional Testimonial

Stephanie, Civil Engineer, Stantec

This opportunity provided me with a mentor who was not from a technical background the same as my own, but someone with an expertise and fore sight who could help me explore a different approach to some of the challenges I can sometimes face at work. I did not know what to expect from our sessions but I found it very easy to be open and honest. 

My mentor gave me the space needed for me to influence what format these sessions would take and explore. He would listen patiently, take a strand from the bundle of confusion and mess that I delivered, he would follow it, unpick it and guide it back in a format that I could understand, options I had not considered and in a constructive format. 

My confidence in my ability has grown, of which I attribute as a result of our sessions. His wise words gave me the opportunity to apply what I had learnt to other situations, the results of which have been positive and if I am honest surprising. Thanks John!

Jack, Transport Planner, Stantec

I have been receiving coaching sessions at lunch time every couple of months for the last year and the impact it has had has been immense! The sessions have been fluid but have enabled me to realise and deal with issues inside and outside of work. This has been key in a year where I have experienced major life events (getting married) and increased responsibility and workloads at work. The sessions have focussed on a variety of aspects on top of career progression, which has unlocked self-reflection and made me realise potential which I didn’t think was possible
