About

I help people work out what they want from their careers, recognise the value of their experience and take practical steps towards what comes next. That might mean growing in a current role, moving into leadership, changing direction or finding the confidence to try something different.

I spent 26 years at Microsoft, working across sales, customer success, design research and innovation. Most recently, I led the Microsoft Garage in Vancouver, helping people find problems worth solving, work across teams and turn ideas into action. Along the way, I supported people early in their careers and worked with senior leadership teams on how they lead and work together.

My approach starts with understanding what’s happening. We’ll talk about the situation you’re facing, question assumptions and work out what you can do about it. I’ll bring honest feedback, useful questions and practical tools, with something specific to try between our conversations.

I’m particularly useful when you’re doing good work but struggling to explain your contribution, feeling stuck about your next move or trying to make something happen without formal authority. The aim is to help you build the confidence and judgement to move forward for yourself.

What happens when you start

You tell John your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.

You meet within days. John reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.

You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
