people profile: John
Gloster-Smith
John has been developing leaders in business
for the last 15 years since he
transformed his own career from being a senior manager in private-sector
education. He’s been a management consultant to almost every business
sector of international and FT 100 companies.
He’s worked at developing leaders, coaching 1-on-1, and facilitating
teams at all levels to board level, as well as organisational
development.
This has been supported by his own extensive investment in personal
growth and in training in Gestalt and other process methodologies for
personal and business transformation.
His style is focused and results-orientated but informal, with a strong
ability to ask exactly the right questions that pick up the key issues
and get to the heart of the matter, and to work with process, both in
individuals, reporting lines and teams to help organisations bring about
the desired change.
the role of a Rainmaker coach:
A key element of the success of Rainmaker Coaching is the calibre of our
coaches and advisers. Every professional you meet from Rainmaker
Coaching can bring a wealth of experience to your business situation.
You can expect our coaches and consultants to quickly grasp your needs
and the nature of your business. You can also expect their assistance to
help you construct both a realistic personal as well as a business
action plan.
Whatever your personal or business development goals, it’s time to talk
to a Rainmaker coach about the skills you have and the skills you need,
to drive your business and you forward.
