Testimonials

John Hannon and New Projections provided an executive coaching engagement for Alcatel-Lucent during 2006, to support the UK&Ireland business with a key management development requirement. This engagement was highly successful, resulting in business savings, a positive transformation in the structure of the management team, and an effective career progression for the key individual concerned. This engagement worked so well, that I selected John a second time to provide an Executive coaching engagement directly for myself. Again, the effective, and sometimes challenging, programme resulted in very positive results for both Alcatel Lucent and myself, leading to greater satisfaction with my current career goals and an excellent propulsion to my business performance.

I really appreciated my sessions with John. He is calm, patient and wise. At the time I had a particular project that was the focus for my coaching sessions. John helped me see what the nub of an issue was, and helped me to develop my own reflective thinking in a more meaningful and productive way. He supported me in simplifying complex issues and allowed me to explore and evaluate them. I became able to unravel things and see greater clarity and direction which gave me greater confidence. John helped me to sift through the information and translate it into practical and meaningful actions. I really appreciated his perceptive challenges, the way he encouraged me to question myself and the encouragement he gave me.

Having the time with John dedicated to looking at how I operate in my current role and reviewing the approach to future directions has had a lasting effect on my effectiveness and management behaviour. I now believe that my ability to focus on those areas that are key to our business moving forward is far more strategic than previous, and there have been a number of positive outcome/successes to support the belief.

As a result of in-depth conversations with John, I was able to see with fresh eyes and deeper insight. John's expertise helped me to formulate and adhere to a one-year project management plan with specific interim goals and a realistic end result. The coaching also helped me to be aware of my own strengths and weaknesses which in turn allowed me to be more effective in the role of project manager.
