Client testimonials
"Jonathan has been brilliant in helping me think more clearly about my priorities- both business and personal - especially the longer range ones. He has already improved my immediate effectiveness, but I suspect that the true benefit will come next year as a result of clearer thinking about the Society’s longer term progress...He draws out all the key issues very subtly and is very skilled at listening and not letting me forget the key actions. I find talking to him both very valuable and therapeutic!"
Hugh B, Chief Executive.
"Jonathan listens intently. He asks me the right question at the right time to help me clarify my feelings and thinking. His coaching opened me up to seeing what I wanted to achieve and how I could achieve that outcome in my own way. His style is challenging, creative and fun. He is very supportive and he"ll ensure you are accountable for your actions, not just in the session but with emails and calls to help keep you on track. Jonathan helped me to identify small practical things I could to do to make a big impact."
Tanya P, Client Director
'I have to say that the sessions, even including the telephone sessions, proved to be of considerable assistance to me. Our discussions have helped to clarify my thoughts and it is now up to me to fully implement the actions. Other beneficial items were related to business development and work prioritisation. Once again, many thanks Jonathan.'
Richard C, Partner
"Jonathan brings a balance between theory and practical exercise through his delivery. He is excellent in enhancing team conversations and gauging the pace of the training. Whilst managing the programme, Jonathan allowed the team to have open and candid discussion on business issues. Transfer of training into the organisation was a key deliverable of the programme and Jonathan ensured that action items were addressed and completed from module to module. The outcome of the programme has primarily brought consistency in management across the team. The programme has given managers the skills and confidence to address situations that arise, along with the expertise to manage their own teams through self direction."
Eavan O'N, HR Director
"There are very few places you cannot go with Jonathan as your coach! He encourages you to stretch into your potential, holding you in unfamiliar places with a mixture of sensitivity and strength. You really feel that he wants the best for you - and will help you to get it."
Elle H, Personal Coach
"The sessions I have had with Jonathan have already helped me to identify areas in both my work and personal life that I can improve. His method of setting me targets and deadlines has enabled me to achieve progressive goals and I have already seen improvements in my life."
Stuart C, Senior Sales Manager
"I have been very pleased with the results we have seen having used Catalyst Coaching to work with our sales teams. Jonathan Hill has kept to his promise of delivering tangible business benefits through his innovative style of coaching - I am sure we will work with him again in the near future."
Jonathan P, Commercial Director
"Jonathan, I wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you for the time you spent recently working with me on my EQ-i feedback. Your listening skills and questioning techniques were excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed working with you. The action plan that you helped me formulate was excellent and was achieved within the timescales that we set. Your support throughout the process was very helpful and I felt that I could call you at any time to discuss further".
Debbie P, Head of HR recruitment practice
"Jonathan facilitated my feedback session very well, setting clear goals and objectives as a result of the EQ-i assessment, allowing me the time and space to consider these with care. The feedback was very thorough and supportive and really fleshed out specific strengths and development areas. This was an insightful and somewhat exhausting session, however the very depth of my learning and action planning around personal workplace development was invaluable. My personal goals from this experience were most definitely met and more!"
Andrew H, Senior Consultant
"This one day workshop resulted in a more close knit, and very supportive group. On the back of this, I took the opportunity of working with Jonathan on a personal basis to take me to the next level professionally. We worked over a period of 3 months and as much as I like to get distracted, Jonathan assisted in my focus, clarity and me keeping perspective. His questions generate lateral thinking and fresh ideas are born out of the box. I enjoyed my coaching sessions with Jonathan and have invited him to work on a coaching program for other blood demonstrators in the United States of America."
