He was very clear, engaging and helpful. A few discussions helped us get clarity on what was needed - where we'd talked around this for ages ourselves without that clarity. John had a way to engage people and get consensus quickly. Much appreciated.Julie BellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our meeting began with a cheery threat, 'Talk to me at your own risk,' I had no idea how transformative our conversation would become. What started as a casual coffee meeting quickly unfolded into a profound journey of personal liberation. I soon found myself unexpectedly vulnerable, my emotions rising and anxiety surfacing. Yet, instead of feeling exposed, I experienced something remarkable. John didn't just listen – He unlocked something deep within me, skillfully removing the invisible ceiling that had long held me back. In our conversation, I gained a clarity I hadn't realized was possible, and I felt empowered. The encounter was far more than a professional consultation - It was indeed a breakthrough for me. His calm presence created a safe, understanding space that allowed me to navigate my inner landscape with surprising gentleness. John's unique ability to hold space – to listen without judgment and guide with empathy – His approach seamlessly blends professional insight with profound emotional intelligence, creating a rare and powerful form of support that truly liberates the human spirit.

I met John within 24 hours of sending my request to the universe to meet the best business coach in London! He calls himself a breakthrough coach, which perfectly describes his work. For a long time, I felt like I had hit my "glass ceiling," but for me, it felt more like a thick glass wall. I could see amazing opportunities beyond it, but couldn’t break through to move past it. This was incredibly frustrating and stopped me from growing my already successful career to the next level. I began working with John, starting with an initial meeting where I felt ready for my own personal breakthrough. The next step was traveling to his office in the English countryside, where I spent a day breaking through psychological blocks and replacing limiting beliefs with healthy mindsets. I must admit, it was a tough day, but I felt much better at the end of it. You need to be prepared to work on yourself! We then arranged ongoing weekly meetings on Teams to track my progress, remove any remaining blocks and continue replacing limiting beliefs. John is also phenomenal at providing valuable business advice on various topics. As an accomplished business leader, he has vast experience in navigating different business scenarios. It’s been a few weeks since I started working with John, and I've already received two amazing job offers from companies I once only dreamed of working for. This has also positively impacted my personal life - I’ve developed healthier habits in eating, exercising, reduced alcohol consumption and improved my relationships. I strongly believe that achieving a healthy work-life balance is essential for any successful professional to reach their full potential!Julia AtlasovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I highly recommend John Cottrell to anyone looking to achieve meaningful and lasting breakthroughs.

I was recommended to John through a close friend who was adamant I should make some contact to try and change my thought process. I found John an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish and although I am only at the start of my new journey I have made some big changes in the way I conduct myself everyday. These changes are beginning to compound and really are making a difference to my life everyday.Jacob Berry

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.
