“Jon is an excellent coach who cares passionately about helping his clients achieve their potential and deliver to the best of their abilities. He is patient, listens attentively and is able to draw out salient points that lead to self-discovery, while also offering useful pieces of advice where necessary. Working with Jon has helped me a great deal on my leadership journey. I found him to be very trustworthy, comfortable to engage and easy to work with.”

“I worked with Jon over the course of a few months, with a few key areas in mind to work together on – nothing that was a huge concern, but more for increased self-belief and some tools around working with a few tricky personalities. I find it quite uncomfortable talking about myself in this way, but Jon immediately put me at ease and created a safe, open environment to get the best out of me and build a strong relationship together. Of course I knew coaching would be helpful, but I am genuinely surprised at the change in myself. I think I will always have some degree of imposter syndrome, but this has really decreased and I feel so much more confident in, and deserving of, my role. Encounters at work which previously would’ve bothered me during evenings/weekends do not – a huge win for me in terms of stress management and equipping me to deal with such situations so that they do not impact my personal life. I loved working with Jon – it was such a luxury to have his expertise and outside perspective. I would recommend him very highly to anyone looking for coaching/self-improvement.”

“Jon is an invaluable source of support and a vital cog in how I approach leadership and the challenges that come with my position. Since working together Jon has supported my leadership development and been essential in helping me get closer to our organisational goals as well as my leadership and personal goals. Deploying a non-directive approach Jon has a wonderful ability to coach on the same level, not casting judgement on situations but asking questions that lead to enlightening answers. When required he refocuses attention and demonstrates an exceptional ability to listen attentively. Trust and openness are key to our relationship working but I also find it comforting that Jon is an independent source of support.”

“I have worked with Jon for 9 months and have found the journey extremely rewarding. Jon provides a rare combination of executive business coaching with in-depth psychological knowledge whilst being very genuine and empathetic. Depending on the topic at hand, he offered practical, to-the-point suggestions, whilst also triggering broader introspection. I have taken away plenty of tools and ideas to maintain success in my current role whilst maintaining work life balance and a roadmap to planning for future roles.”

“In working with us to develop a success profile for one of our complaint resolution roles, Jon from Jon Atkins Associates, helped us bring some much needed clarity to identifying the critical capabilities for the role and how we should assess for them. This work now underpins both recruitment and development activity, and has really helped us to sharpen our assessment approach. We had some very challenging deadlines to meet and Jon was responsive, flexible and delivered on time. ”

“I have really struggled to write about my experience with Jon Atkins as a coach…..there just aren’t sufficient words to sum up how much he has done for me. Jon has made me think about all the positives which I can bring to any situation and focus on these, helping me to take the time to remember my “good points” whilst in the middle of any situation where I may feel inadequate or out of my depth. As well as this, Jon has also encouraged me to think about my weaknesses and how I can best make adjustments in my behaviour to ensure the best possible outcome of any situation. I would have no hesitations in contacting him directly as a coach.”
