This is what we believe. This is how we frame leadership coaching.

Our Six Values are the core of our coaching success.

Coaching leaders is a relational journey and a shared experience that we build on over a twelve-month period.

There are no templates. Each leader requires both a shared and individual understanding of where their skill sets are and where they need enrichment. Therefore we coach both groups in half-day monthly workshops and monthly one on one coaching meetings.

We are flexible and we can meet with your mornings, days, evenings, or weekends. We are here to serve your outcomes.

The Power of Encouragement.
I just wanted to take time to thank you for your words and wisdom for our Friday teacher only day session. The feedback I have had from the staff has been excellent, thanks so much for your wonderful stories and the clever way you wove what we needed to hear into the fabric of it – beautiful job. I thought I would let you know that on Tuesday I had a Year 13 student come to ask me about a potential subject change – she has not been a straight forward student all the way through from Year 7. I used your 19 words with her. Her face lit up and she said, ‘wow, really, thank you so much, that is the nicest thing I have heard’ That, I guess, is why we are in the game of teaching – for those meaningful and empowering moments.

Our People Mechanics coach a model we like to call ‘Smooth Leadership’. The absence of constraint and disruption. We believe one of the primary roles of leadership is to eliminate the issues that prevent staff achieving greatly and producing great organisational outcomes. That requires fine tuning and ensuring the road is clear of obstacles. If you are experiencing ‘rough’ we have a solution that will accelerate your desired outcomes.

They Said What

I have followed John for some 15 years. I have attended John’s workshops and found the thought provocation new learnings have inspired me to keep tracking his work. He simply put, makes quality & practical sense. I get such a good, safe feeling when exploring & implanting his ideas & I can confidently say, John has been integral in my development as both a manager and a leader within the education sector. I have just realised that there are very few I have followed intentions as long as I have, John Peachey! Now, that says it all!!

I first heard John speak about his principles of leadership a couple of years back. Everything he said resonated with me and the way I endeavour to lead our team at Hutchinsons. But I needed a little more guidance to continue to improve as well as guide the newer leaders within our organisation. We've been working with John for just over a year now and he has driven us to new heights, helping us create a cohesive senior leadership team that has clarity in its vision, direction and execution. He's a fantastic sounding board and quickly adapts to the ever-changing issues our industry and people bring us. We are better for his involvement. His mantra "coffee fixes everything" and coaching has helped us engage and connect with our team to really dig into the things that hold us back from being the best we can be.

I had the privilege of being mentored and coached by John for a year. Every session was insightful and his guidance proved invaluable during period of crises in my organisation. His coaching emphasised the importance of clarity, highlighting how ambiguity can hinder progress. This simple yet profound concept transformed my approach. John played a crucial role in caring for my wellbeing and boosting my confidence to step into a leadership role. John helped me set clear goals to achieve significant milestones and held me accountable throughout the process. As a result, I not only secured a promotion but also witnessed improved team performance. It is difficult to articulate the significant impact that John has had on me. His influence on my life has been profound, and I am forever grateful for Johns guidance and support.

If you have the opportunity to benefit from John's coaching, I highly recommend it. Please contact me for a reference— I'd be happy to share more about my experience.
