Stories

John has a high level of expertise in productivity improvement projects. His strategic and practical approaches are very strong and leverage any kind of project for productivity improvement. John is a result-oriented person.

I have been coached personally by John and experienced first-hand his coaching skills with clients at all levels from Chief Executive to Line Manager in organisations big and small. He is a charismatic and visionary thinker who can quickly analyse a business situation and then work with individuals or teams to develop effective solutions and action plans that are really owned. He is very tuned into a team’s dynamics and assesses individuals’ strengths and weaknesses. As a consequence, resources are realigned effectively to achieve business goals more quickly. I have no hesitation in recommending John as someone who can really get the best out of an individual, team, or business.

John’s knowledge, advice and input into our business have had a huge impact. Not only has his support, advice and wise counsel really had an impact on us as individuals, but it has also made us stand back and take a good, hard look at our business and identify areas on which to build. I would have no hesitation in recommending John as a person who will have an extremely positive effect on both you and your business.

John’s wealth of experience allows him to make really insightful recommendations.

John has worked and continues to advise a number of my clients. His energy, advice and assistance have been of great help to these businesses that have made the decision to grow their company despite the current trading climate.

John has helped the controlled and sustained growth of my company in its client base, turnover and profitability. We have doubled the size of the business in just 12 months. I would strongly recommend it to other business owners who feel or even don’t feel, they need help.

I have found the breakthrough session very useful. I have noticed that the blocks that were there have been removed. I tended to build up big barriers consciously and unconsciously and would find reasons not to contact prospects. I now seem to be less bored about the outcomes and that has made it much easier to take action. It really feels like I’m not ‘fighting’ myself quite as much now.

Having only worked with John for a very short period of time the immediate impact he has made on every level of our business has been phenomenal. I have and will continue to wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone and everyone I know in business, everyone that is except my competitors!

John helps business owners to think differently about how they manage their business and critically, also encourages them to do what they say that they will do and put those thoughts into practice.

We hit our 3-year target in just 12 months.

Very professional and knowledgeable. He readily provides feedback to you in order to improve your skills. I have been left inspired and focused beyond my expectations. I would thoroughly recommend working with John.

If you believe you get what you pay for in this world and you run your business, then you need to employ the services of John Cottrell to help you grow your business, help you be a better boss, work smarter, and work fewer hours but still earn much more money. He isn’t cheap, but I refer to the first sentence and if you want what I wrote about in the last one .. then you will pick up the phone from him. He hasn’t paid me to write … although he should have done with what I am paying him.

I attended John’s seminar on May 1st. I came away from this 3 hour workshop with a clear strategy for both of my businesses, with renewed energy and a positive outlook. John’s insightful view of how to find and keep customers was delivered with simplicity and panache.

By mid-2014, myself and my two fellow Directors were struggling to cope with our workload and at the same time grow our business. We started working with John Cottrell in October 2014. Since then John has been instrumental in helping Terrain Surveys create a company structure and ethos that has now put us in a great position to push on and grow the business. We have been able to pass on a lot of the day-to-day responsibilities to a newly created senior management level, allowing us to concentrate on working ON the business. As Directors, we have more time and our employees have thrived with their additional responsibilities.

John’s experience and enthusiasm in leadership coaching are clearly evident. The encouragement he gives his clients to focus and drive their business forward is remarkable. He gives you discipline and confidence to set goals for your business, so you can achieve your lifestyle goals. I now have a clear vision of where I want my business to be so that these goals are achievable. John is extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate in recommending him to any other businesses that are looking to achieve greater success.

John is a fantastic coach. He is supportive, firm and caring. His business knowledge is admirable and I often refer to him as the MBA, which I could never do! He has an amazing ability to prepare you for the tough times in business, And equally apply pressure to grow the business, whilst working towards your personal goals.

Our business has been trading successfully for 40 years. In late 2014 we saw first-hand the impact John was having on a business that we knew and we asked him to help us get to the next level too. In just seven months we had doubled our monthly revenue. We have had to move offices twice this year to cope with our expansion and we are now always looking for exceptional people to recruit as we build our team.

I have worked on a one-to-one basis with John over the past 2 years, in truth the first 3 sessions with John were difficult, having worked with a number of mentors and coaches over the years it can be difficult to get a real perspective of the areas that need to be worked on, however, John cuts to the chase, he is phenomenal at holding up a mirror and not letting you off the hook. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending John, If you are looking for someone who will have difficult conversations with you, with only your best interests in mind, to help, develop and improve you, John is by far the best coach I have worked with over the years.

If you want to move and change your experience, John’s work is for you. John and I met through a recommendation of an acquaintance, and I’m grateful we did. I am a consultant and a yoga teacher and have employed a variety of holistic therapies over the years, but none were as quick or as prolific as John’s timeline therapy work. His approach is honest and personable, yet deft and efficient at getting to the core of things quickly. He doesn’t pull any punches. He’s incredibly skilled at reading people, and working one-on-one to support clients to move their experience and detach excess baggage – emotions, limiting beliefs, or negative thought patterns – while creating action to evolve and grow past these old stories. His impact was measurable and immediate, and I am still feeling the effects 1.5 years later. I would highly recommend John and his timeline therapy work.

We have been with John since before we formed Click Return and he has helped us grow our company each year – much faster than we thought possible. He helps us see the value in what we do for our customers, keeps our motivation high and ensures we are focused on the right things within our business to help us grow. John is constantly pointing out the blindingly obvious to us which, as business owners in the thick of day-to-day activities, we just don’t see! We initially began attending his growth club sessions every 90 days to give us a quarterly plan for our business, and have gradually increased the level of coaching we have with him. Now we are on one-to-one coaching, we are seeing fast & better results. I just wish we had bitten the bullet earlier and we would be even more profitable already. I recommend John to all businesses as a fast way to get profits & your life back at the same time.

I learned heaps and that is saying something as an old pro who thinks he has seen everything.

It’s only been a few days since I experienced his “Breakthrough” therapy and I have already seen a seismic shift.

He blew me away with his detailed, concise, well-put-together presentation.

John was very good at listening to his audience seeking to understand their real motivation

We resolved two events which seemed minor in scale but were really emotionally impactful from my point of view.

He has given me some excellent coaching and unexpectedly some great personal health advice.

It has been a fantastic life-changing (literally) experience and I can highly recommend it to anyone.

John has helped me make a massive difference to my business.

Powerful and more importantly effective – it works.

I woke up the following morning and realised after a while that I had a real sense of calm.

I really enjoyed the process that John took us through. It wasn’t scary at all.

John quietly and confidently talks you through a very private daydream.

The benefits to me were transformational in terms of mindset and my business journey.

I was able to access real feelings from the past, deal with stuff I didn’t know was there, and release it.

It was like an instant transformation with me having a greater level of understanding.

I know exactly who I am and where I’m heading.

Through his breakthrough coaching he will make a difference to your life.

His approach which is different from others I know will be much appreciated.

The breakthrough from just one short session did more than any other development work I’ve done before.

The experience was truly transformative and exceeded all expectations.

Since having had that breakthrough I just feel like I've just had a mask or something over my eye removed.

Breakthrough gave me the clarity and focus that stops me losing time and energy in pressure situations. I never looked back.

He changed my life.

John’s work is profound, and while difficult to describe with words has had an impact beyond what I could have imagined.

John is a gifted coach with a rare skill for helping people remove blocks to access a greater level of self awareness...

John helped me up my hill in a way I never imagined anyone could.

The results were nothing short of extraordinary. It was intense, it was hard work, but after just one day, I felt free.

Thanks, John. I feel like I am ready to embrace the next chapter of my business life with great joy and confidence.

John helped me let go of some past experiences which had limited my ability to grow and work on the future.

…strip away layers of doubt, self deceit… Now I think more clearly and feel a positive sense of purpose in what I do.
