About
Hyper-personalised career and job search counsel for people who want to take control.
I help professionals win roles they thought were out of reach.
Bigger roles, better packages, increased visibility. Inside or outside of your company.
For some, that’s the C-suite or board. For others, the opportunity that never comes to market, or the way back after a restructure or break.
I help you see hiring the way the people doing the hiring see it.
Most advice describes hiring as it should be, not as it is.
We build your strategy around how decisions are actually made.
I’ll find the moments in your career that seem innocuous, but hiring managers will love.
I help capable people take back careers running on autopilot.
The goal is clarity: who you are, what you do, who you do it for and why that makes you the answer, rather than one more option.
We focus on how you are seen, how you behave and how you spot opportunity.
I help clients hone the instincts that make better decisions.
To get you there, I’ll make you think and behave in new ways — telling you the truth and challenging your defaults.
You have access to me when it counts — before the interview, after the difficult call — so you never decide alone.
This may be the only place in your professional life for the conversations you can’t have anywhere else.
I build for you, not simply advise you.
The CV, the stories, the approach, the negotiation prep — made by me between our sessions, so our time together goes on the discussions that count.
The homework is mine, not yours.
“John identified and closed the gaps between how I was positioning myself and what people needed to see.”
