Who Am I?

Coffee fixes everything

People mechanic, broadcaster, writer, presenter, communicator, coach, mate, husband, father, brother. Having made every mistake known to man in business and personal life, I can assure you the limp I walk with is fully earned and so very helpful in helping others avoid the pitfalls of complex and chaotic lives.

Let me show you why servant leadership is fiscally intelligent and how that adds huge value to your bottom line

John Peachey from The Think Farm is dangerous. He is what has been described as a disruptor, a provocateur to the status quo. He will turn your world upside down… mess you up and help you put your world back together again better and stronger than before. He researches writes and delivers on leadership and communication that drives innovation, engagement and collaboration. John asks the type of questions that make leaders feel uncomfortable enough and be vulnerable enough to break free into new paradigms of innovation, adventure and influence. (Not to mention revenue!)

Understanding the base psychology of how people communicate and want (and need) to be led has taken me into the discovery keys of how people desire deep connections and how these desires motivate a huge range of fantastic outcomes.

For me, it’s all about encouragement. Speaking into the positive spaces that drive a person's deep desire to be greater, go further and attempt more exciting exploits and adventures. I think Goethe got it right on the nail when he said “Instruction does much, but encouragement everything” We live in a world where what we see and feel is the erosion of the soul. I simply feed the soul to live well again, and I tinker with the culture that can enable you to rise. I concluded very early, that when leaders rise, everyone rises.

I believe greatness resides in the heart of everyone and my job is to help you find your way back to that thing that is your unique value. I find no greater pleasure than sharing what I have learned in order to raise another up.

Sometimes you just need someone who has walked that road to lend you a hand over the potholes.

I wish I knew more about gravity and less about falling

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.
