Do you feel lost or lacking direction?  Are you overwhelmed and struggling to move forward? 

My coaching will help you, or your team, to establish clearly what you want to happen and then bring it to life by encouraging you to find solutions and answers to your challenges.  It can also help you to regain personal balance, direction and focus.  

Get in touch if you think that my coaching could help you, or someone that you know.

DIRECTION

Is the path you are on the right one for you?  Does opening the gate fill you with excitement, fear or 'is it just opening a gate' ? Get in touch if you would like to discuss how my coaching can help you. 

​

"John worked with me whilst I was having therapy  ...  enabling me to look at a situation from various angles and then looking at the different outcomes from each of these angles.  This was invaluable ....." 

(Female 30+ years).

​The work we have done together has been a catalyst for positive change.  By recognising my starting point and allowing me to lead the process by being attentive to what and how I communicated, you supported me to regain a sense of efficacy, agency and temporal perspective to any change that might be needed as I move forward.

TEAM AND PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

Is there a relationship that feels a bit like the image of this pair of Kingfishers that needs some attention?  Would you like to make it feel different ?  Get in touch if you would like to discuss how my coaching can help you.

​

"Thank you for my last coaching session with you which helped me see my relationship with anxiety more clearly and I'm on the path to managing it better.  It was more useful than you'll know." 

(Female 30+ years)

LOST OR DRIFTING

Are you, or someone you know, lost or drifting and seeking new direction?  Then coaching may help you find your way.

 

Where there are challenges there are also some of the best opportunities for change and new direction.  Get in touch if you have any questions, and find out how I can help.

​

"John provided us with invaluable mentoring and opened our eyes to how we could have a much more coherent business plan.  .... putting together a mission, vision and strategy, we also learnt a lot about ourselves.  John explains complex ideas clearly and is very engaging.  At every step, we understood the purpose of what we were learning and could see how it helped us both theoretically and practically.   We would recommend his mentoring to anyone."  (SME Bristol)

REBALANCE YOUR LIFE

Are you struggling and need to change something but not sure what?  Coaching can help you understand what is important in your life and where you should prioritise your energy and time.  Get in touch if you think my coaching could help you.

.. the time I had with John was invaluable and most importantly, the physical effects I was experiencing due to anxiety have now stopped.  Looking back your help was brilliant and I cannot thank you enough.

When I was in a particularly difficult situation, John helped me identify and focus on what I needed to do and encouraged me along the way.

YOUR COACH

John Barratt

I have been working with people for most of my 40 year career, mentoring guiding and coaching.   I have held many positions from Apprentice to Board Director of a £1Bn company.  I have done some extraordinarily exciting things where I have learnt a lot about myself and more importantly the people around me; submariners, hockey players and extreme eventers to mention but a few.  I am blessed with an amazing wife and family.

​

I find it very rewarding to see people develop, flourish and grow and in particular those people and organisations that have found themselves in a difficult place.

 

To complement my extensive experience I have a university accredited Advanced Certificate in Executive Coaching and a Senior Practitioner (level 7) Coaching and Mentoring Certificate from the ILM.
