Jon from Sharp Performance supporting a group of people for the Lumina Team Profile Coaching

Personality Profile Coaching – Team and Individual

Leadership starts with self-awareness. This profiling helps individuals understand their strengths, adapt under pressure and improve communication.

Our team profiling reveals the motivations, values and communication styles that drive your team. It’s the key to breaking silos and building a “One Team” culture.

1:1 Coaching

An elite athlete would not walk onto the track or take the field without a support network of coaches around them. Why would high performing executives be any different?

  • “Jon had the greatest impact of all the coaches that worked on our project over the last five years. On a personal note, working with Jon helped me establish new perspectives in relation to being effective in the workplace. We discussed different ways of approaching issues and utilising the team to resolve them. I have benefitted greatly from working with Jon and am a far more confident and rounded manager as a result of our time together. Jon is a great people person and all of the personnel on the project that have worked with him hold him in the highest regard. He offered support and guidance to many of the team whether they were within his work remit or not. By doing so, he created a great rapport with the team and earned respect which is invaluable when working within an environment such as ours.”

  • "I would like to record a reference for Jon’s work in the development of Leadership and teamwork having worked with him on a project recently over a couple of years and very much aligned with his views, commitment to learning and methodologies. Jon holds and entertains a learning group with interest through engagement and practical case studies, having been there and done it, learned the hard way coming up through the ranks and done the hard miles. I have enjoyed working closely with Jon to deliver comprehensive competence development programs whereby Jon took ownership of the Leadership and culture elements of our competent mining people solutions, and I can therefore highly recommend his work and would be happy to speak further and directly with anyone seeking this kind of solution"

  • "In early 2024 we were looking to improve on training of our supervisors and Jon became available. He worked with our HSE and Training teams to put together a one-day course and played an important role in delivery of the course. Overall, we trained over 100 supervisors and other staff. We started to run sessions with The Winning Edge as well but unfortunately the slow down of our Project by the Client meant that we had to cut back on our training. Working with Jon has been a great pleasure and seeing the results due to his involvement is encouraging. I do believe that we are beginning to change the mindset."

    Chris Beaumont – Project Director | Redpath Dilmann

  • "Jon and an associate were recruited to help develop my leadership team. As a new group, including myself in a newly promoted position, the purpose was to create a cohesive team with a leader who understood them and a team that felt psychologically safe to voice their opinions. There were several activities during the day making it an engaging and interactive workshop. At times it was challenging, with some honest discussions around performance and culture, but well facilitated and rewarding for all. Today, we still refer back to the workshop, 2 years later, and use the lessons to guide our behaviours and drive performance. I’d encourage everyone who is leading a team to work with Jon "

  • "I engaged Jon in a 1:1 coaching setting following a rise in my exposure to Senior Management within the organisation. In the 4 year period working together my confidence and leadership skills developed considerably, resulting in 2 promotions. My Lumina Spark psychometric profiling and the follow up sessions with Jon gave me real insight to how I think and behave in different situations. The most notable benefit has been my increased self-awareness and self-reflection, and such benefits have been felt in both personal and professional environments. Initially I had misconceptions around the role of a coach, the coaching process and the difference to teaching or mentoring. Jon was highly effective and respectful in managing those concerns. My coach took interest in my development and was very proactive in ensuring I retained appropriate levels of focus on my development throughout a sustained period of increased workload. "

    Liam Wood - Chief Financial Officer | Anglo American

  • "At our year end performance review, Jon was invited as guest speaker to talk about his time playing professional sport, coaching Great Britain and building high performance teams. He delivered a bespoke keynote speech about culture and linked the lessons taken from a Lions Tour of Australia to our challenges at Centrica. His story telling was engaging and relevant, clearly, he had done his homework, and the feedback from the crews was very positive. "
