ABOUT CAREER COACHING FROM JLA:

“I think this is the best money I ever spent. I have been revitalised by our meeting and am seeing loads of potential opportunities. I read the book in one sitting, a real eye opener.”
Richard Tierney, Creative Talks Ltd

John Lees provides sound, knowledgeable advice, and coaching, especially in terms of the emotional and practical impact of life change events. Although I had activated my personal network to good effect, and felt I was in control of my own 'destiny', I found John's counsel extremely helpful in 'de-stressing' the situation. John provided a positive influence to my confidence about the short and long term future options.
Kath Lowey, Head of Customer Service, Xchanging HR Services

“John is incredible - so much wisdom and insight and in only two sessions I had the toolkit to forge ahead. He is kind, practical and gives you tough but achievable challenge. I looked back and realise that two years on I still think of and use his insights often.”
Grace Kempster OBE, Director, Read On Write Away, Derbyshire

"Approaching my 60th birthday, I found that I was very unsure of myself, my capabilities and my whole future post-full-time work. John worked his magic on me, working with me to help me discover what I really wanted for myself and what I could do to achieve it. When I was impatient and emotional because I wasn't getting there fast enough, he helped me to calm down and take things step by step. Already three months after leaving full-time work, my new "portfolio" life of paid and voluntary work is taking shape the way I dreamed."
Judy Ugonna, Consultant, Spatial Metrics Consulting Group.

“I was fortunate enough to hear John Lees Key Note Speech at the Forum 3 event October 2007. I was so inspired that I went to have a quick chat with him afterwards. John asked me what I wanted to do and I said that I wanted to motivate and inspire people and do something that makes a difference. I talked about my plan to work in housing and John gave me some excellent advice. He told me it might not be the best route for me and I might find it frustrating, I took his advice (and a signed copy of his book) and got a job as an Information Coordinator for City University. I'm now moving in a direction I'm very excited about.”
Sharron Depear

“Thought you would like to know that my search has proved successful. I have a job with the Ministry of Education in Wellington New Zealand. Though obtained through a conventional advertisement rather than the hidden job market, I used the principles learned from you to prepare a document that got me shortlisted, and then again in preparation for and during my interview. And the new suit helped!”
Graham, UK career changer
