Experience

Jerry is a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, the British Association for Personality Type, and the International Positive Psychology Association. As an Executive Coach, Jerry has seen startling transformations in organisations and individuals as he has worked with them to manage change and equip people to get to the next level in their careers and wider lives.

Coaching Style

Jerry has found that the first step in personal and professional development is often to increase self-awareness and confidence, and his clients report that he has a great sense of understanding and rapport with them, combined with the ability to ask the right questions at the right time.  As part of a portfolio of skills, he frequently uses the MBTI Personality Preference as a tool to enable individuals and teams to access their natural strengths and begin developing new skills and attitudes.

Coaching philosophy 

“Great leadership starts with self-awareness.  Once you’re aware of what you’re doing and how you’re reacting, you have the power to manage yourself better.  And once you can manage yourself, you will be leading in a new way: you’ll be more confident, calm, focused, empowering, visionary.  This is the liberating power that coaching instils.”
