My story

I’m John (Hi! 👋) I’ve been a personal coach since 2004. For the past 20+ years I’ve been helping people just like you live their very best life.

After starting out with a Degree in Sports and Exercise Science with Psychology in 2003 I was a Personal Trainer from 2004 until 2010 when I started working for the NHS as a Health and Lifestyle Trainer. 

I continued this as well as leading teams in the West Midlands, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, London and Gloucestershire. I achieved a Masters in Healthcare Leadership, Became a trainer in Motivational Conversations and finally an ILM Level 7 in Coaching and Mentoring with a speciality in Senior Leaders and Executives. 

I currently live a fulfillling and happy life in the Countryside with my wife, son and 4 (yes 4) cats. 

 

Why the 'R' word?

People often ask me Why. 

Why do you specialise in helping people to retire specifically?

It happened by accident. I was coaching a senior leader and they mentioned retiring, that they’d not mentioned it to anyone else but their partner, and had been thinking about it for a while. But didn’t know where to take it. We spent 1.5 hours talking about it and by the end they had a plan, they took early retirement. They have now retired and are living the life they wanted to live. All because we had a conversation about it.

I was hooked.
