One-to-one coaching that puts you first

Get clear on your goal – what do you want?

Coaching begins with identifying and setting personalised, achievable goals. This process ensures that your coaching journey is tailored to your specific aspirations and challenges, laying a solid foundation for growth.

Reflection and reality – what’s going on right now?

When you are clear on your goal, using reflective practices will help you assess where you’re at and what you are responsible for right now. You’ll develop insights on how your goal and aspirations might fit with your work and life commitments.

Possibilities and planning – what could you do?

Coaching helps you consider options and opportunities before creating a plan to bridge the gap between your current capabilities and the desired outcomes. These plans are actionable, measurable, and designed to motivate your progress toward goals.

Accountability and the way forward – what will you do?

A key feature of coaching is the provision of accountability and support. Keeping you focused on your commitments, offering encouragement, and adjusting strategies as needed, and ensuring sustained progress and resilience in the face of challenges.

Jon Dunning, leadership coach

Hi, I'm Jon

My one-on-one leadership development coaching isn’t about giving you the answers but helping you discover them for yourself.

I was a team leader, manager, people leader, and senior manager for over thirty years. I made more mistakes than most and took longer to realise that leading others was more about support, guidance, and contribution than position, direction, and management.

After benefitting from the investment of some great leaders I worked with, I decided that I wanted to spend the rest of my working life doing that for others.

Now I work with industry leaders in all industries based across Australia, New Zealand and Asia to create a plan about you—your goals, challenges, and success.

When we get there, you’ll achieve the goals you’ve set and be able to navigate life’s twists and turns with greater confidence and clarity.
