He is well organised and well researched but more importantly he has the mental agility to deal with vastly different group dynamics and challenges posed by the idiosyncrasies of some very strong egos. He also has a very engaging personality. I have valued my sessions with Jon and would recommend him unhesitantly to anyone.”

  • The Neuroscience of Change
  • Leading, with the Brain in Mind

  • Empowering, with the Brain in Mind
  • Delegating, with the Brain in Mind

Keynote topics that can also be workshopped include:

  • From Man to Ironman - 7 Strategies to Mind the Gap between Vision and Manifestation. Jon will lead the audience through the emotial highs and lows, costs and benefits and search for meaning in moving from 41 year old Triathlon novice to 46 year old 2 time Hawaii Ironman Triathlon Finisher to illustrate key principles for goal attainment.
  • The Art of Effective Delegation - Doing More With Less. Hampered by re-work, lack of engagement and poor morale? Want to get more from your people, but feel 'If you want something done right you have to do it yourself!' The way in which work is thought through by leaders, delegated, managed and reviewed, or not, has a profound impact on any business; it can create or destroy meaning and purpose in people's work; it sets the tone for the culture of a department and potentially the whole organisation; it will impact engagement, productivity, retention and profit. Jon will demonstrate how you can dramatically improve your ability to delegate for success.
