When John decided to become a speaker and trainer, he dedicated himself to learning and understanding the psychology of influence and persuasion and how to apply the tools he acquired within an ethical framework.
We must all understand that we can't give others the things we don't have. If we lack empathy, compassion, energy or understanding, we operate from their opposites instead. Who we are and how we show up under pressure matters.
John's dream is to lead the change to a vision of service-based leadership that is collaborative, caring and values-driven. Now John empowers business leaders and teams to present and communicate with clarity, impact, and influence by mastering their inner game and showing up consistently as their best selves.
Let's unleash your impact.
Meet John
Keynote coach, speaker, podcast host, and writer committed to helping professionals master influence and persuasion within an ethical framework.
Do you ever come across people who really feel like they have a mission and purpose in their life? They seem to have a buzz about them. They care about something deeper and bigger than themselves and they are passionate about making an impact.
Not only is John such a person but he also wants to help others lead and show up in a way that has energy, empathy and the power to positively influence. He believes that motivation and inspiration won't last without substance and a commitment to showing up in a fully intentional way.
Many people are going through life on automatic, not really thinking about how they show up, reacting to people and situations in the ways we think we're supposed to and often not questioning if there's a better way. This results in people living unfulfilled lives, with unfulfilled potential and feeling disconnected from themselves and the people around them.
John started his professional life in hospitality and for many years was living the high life with a well-known airline, working as cabin crew. Whilst this was a lot of fun and the travel was amazing, John knew he wanted to do more and be positively impacting people's lives in a much bigger way.
In his days off, John trained as a life coach, which soon led to him wanting to be a business coach and ultimately getting inspired to be a trainer and speaker. He worked clients and at training events until he was able to hang up his wings and focus on doing what he loved.
For many years, John has been the lead coach and online trainer for the courses (including Train the Trainer) and programs of T. Harv Eker and has worked with clients internationally in both group and one-to-one settings.
In recent years he moved into a sales role with a business selling a program to help podcasters monetise their shows. This eventually led him to become a coach with The Speaker Lab and help their students build professional speaking businesses.
John's podcasting career is as the host of two shows:
-
Present Influence - a show about personal and professional presentation skills as well as the tools and skills of influence and persuasion like humour, rhetoric and storytelling
-
The Coaching Clinic - A show for coaches who want to be more successful with their clients and in their business, which he co-hosts with his good friend Angie
Whilst remaining stubbornly English, John lives in the beautiful city of Valencia, Spain with his husband and he dreams of owning dogs again. He loves getting up on stage and participating in open-mic comedy nights or storytelling events. He plays keyboards when he gets the chance and loves to get out on the lake in a kayak.

Hooked On A Feeling:
How To Get One Day Closer To Your Best Self Every Day
One of the main reasons people don’t always perform at their best is because they don’t always feel like it. Many bad moods and work conflicts are caused by our environment and our lack of preparedness for the challenges each day may bring.
We’re so conditioned to respond instinctively to people and events that we rarely take the time to consider a different way of being and responding. The hidden costs of our instinctive and reactive responses are stress, uncertainty and isolation.
In this funny, yet informative, impactful presentation, I take your audience through a series of steps to get everyone taking responsibility for how they show up and uncovering their personal power to own their day and to be able to interact and communicate in a way that is respectful, empathetic and an example of excellence others can and will want to follow.
