What will you get out of a career coaching session?
Our career coaching focuses on your individual needs with tailored packages – everything from a Taster Session to our Executive Career Coaching package. In order to respond quickly to clients in many different locations we normally coach using Zoom .
All our coaches are are highly experienced and trained in using the exercises and concepts in John’s books. Where his timetable allows, John Lees works personally with a small number of clients.

To set things in motion you might try a 40 minute taster session with one of our coaching team. This costs £80.00 including VAT. Taster sessions are designed to help you clarify your goals and what gets in the way of achieving them, and to show you how coaching might help you move forward.
Alternatively, if you want to tackle a range of issues, you might go straight for a 60 minute session.
