Many years ago, when I met Jonathan for the first time I thought “what a knowledgeable and authentic bloke this guy is”. We have connected and collaborated from time to time ever since and that impression has not changed. Jonathan is someone who demonstrates a deep understanding of organisational change and skills/career development, and the dynamics of how relationships impact the workplace. I highly recommend Jonathan as someone who listens and works hard to identify meaningful solutions for you and your workplace.

The coach I had was perfect for my needs. I am incredibly grateful to have worked with Next Steps.  My coach, her style of coaching aligned with my values and personal needs, I am hoping that my organisation will sponsor more sessions with her as I feel we were just starting to get into the nitty gritty of my professional development.

Programme Specialist – Non Profit Organisation

I first meet Jonathan while I was at Te Taurapa Tuhono (NZ Trade & Enterprise), we engaged him to provide career transition support for senior leaders. He was a great sounding board and consistently received good feedback from participants.

If you’re looking for career coaching, Jonathan is the person to see 😊

AO – Senior OD Manager, Management Consulting

The practical elements, cv feedback, suggested resources and the coach tuning into what I needed at each session and working with that. I loved how the coaching started and ended with the personality assessment. I have found that to be super helpful, affirming and I will continue using the resources as a guide.

Jonathan and his team helped me upskill our team at DKSH. Jonathan added considerable value with his extensive knowledge and experience. On top of that he’s a great listener and just a great human to work with. Bravo!

Jonathan is a consummate professional. I have dealt with him over 15+ years and can always rely on him to provide timely and pragmatic solutions that are tailored to meet both organisation objectives and employee coaching needs creating win-win outcomes.

PJ – Senior HR Generalist

The amount of input I had into the program/sessions and having the ability to choose what can be focused on. Having a coach who took the time to understand who I am and why I do what I do, which enabled me to feel very supported in the structure of each session.

My coach was amazing! A breath of fresh air 🙂

Jonathan is an active listener who hears the verbal, and non-verbal, needs of a client then tailors the response accordingly. The outcome is something that is specific to your actual needs and wants, and always demonstrates the highest level of skill and experience.

I have found Jonathan to be extremely skilled at being able to paraphrase your issues and then provide flexible solutions in the areas of career and outplacement support as well as change management and leadership development.

Puplic Programme Developer – Entertainment and Coummunity Services

Jonathan and his team provide the highest level of service to their clients. Whether for groups or individuals, each approach was bespoke, and handled with the requisite sensitivity and confidentiality. There is no ‘hard sell’, but rather a genuine desire to provide what is needed in a timely and compassionate manner. Our most common requirement was Outplacement support following redundancy, and over the years we made Jonathan’s services available to hundreds of employees, renewing our arrangements many times. I often received glowing feedback from people we had referred. I continue to recommend Jonathan and will continue to use his services when the need arises in the future.

Next Steps aligned me with a great coach. She quickly worked out what was required & delivered clear effective coaching. Thanks to my coach & Jonathan for all the advice. Immediate, positive results.

Jonathan is there when you need him and easy to do business and especially when you need some career transition services for your organisation. He keeps his promises and I’d recommend him to other HR senior managers.
