“My ambition? That’s easy: to help you achieve yours!” – John Horton
This captures the heart of what you can expect while working with me. Your ambitions are important, to both of us.
My role as advisor has been given many names by my clients over the years – coach, confidant, counselor, trusted advisor, thinking partner, sparring partner, friend – and is about helping someone or something become better, even though we start at “good” or “successful.” I have always believed – even as a teenager – that this role was just “something I did to help people.” It still is.
My clients, like you, are busy and need someone who can listen, provide frank and respectful feedback, appropriate challenges, or insightful questions without judgment or an agenda, other than improving their business.
My approach is one of respect, appreciation and curiosity.
What you will gain from this?
- You have a seasoned professional at your side, who respects you as a human being, takes you seriously and listens to you without bias or hidden agenda.
- You can openly discuss issues that you are dealing with in a safe and private environment – without these being judged or evaluated and without having to prove anything to anyone.
- You have a companion/confidant for your personal development, in general or during particularly challenging phases, from whom you can receive honest and professional feedback.
