TESTIMONIALS:

Penelope Talbot-Kelly

TECH EXECUTIVE & INVESTOR, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, USA

“As someone who has worked with coaches, therapists and executive coaches over the years, Jean stands out because of his unparalleled ability to delve deep into the core of experiences (professional and personal), quickly identify patterns, and use them to guide and illuminate one’s true purpose. So naturally he was able to foster self-awareness and empowerment, while creating a safe space for introspection. His insightful observations and probing questions unveiled patterns and connections that had otherwise gone unnoticed, and provided me with a newfound clarity and understanding of my past that often left me speechless. To anyone considering working with Jean – do it! His expertise will not only propel you towards greater meaning (and success) in your career, but also enrich your overall sense of fulfilment and satisfaction in life! I cannot recommend Jean more highly!”

Ian Thomson

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR, IMPACT INVESTOR & FOUNDER, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA.

“With the benefit of more than four years of intense personal and professional exposure I can confidently share that Jean possesses an extraordinary ability to empathize deeply to effectively deconstruct complex personal or professional challenges. While that alone is extremely powerful, what makes him unequivocally unique is his ability to deconstruct challenges and reframe them into a logical, approachable set of action ideas.

I have benefited personally from his ability to understand my strengths and help me leverage those to refine my role within a larger organizational vision, and build the necessary confidence to step forward. His deep principles and commitment to maintaining aligned values during discussions have allowed me to proceed confidently with otherwise vulnerable concepts.

His clear thinking and even clearer communication mean he can relate quickly to a leader’s underlying obstacles. In my case it offered a new perspective, and helped me to reposition myself to tackle the challenge of a daunting new professional quest.

I feel that this ability to cut through the noise and get to the heart of an individual’s obstacle, or gift, makes him an invaluable advisor or more involved asset to a project.

Jean’s influence within a group setting was well demonstrated recently with a timely and elegant reminder of the power of acceptance and the opportunity to reframe tragedy as opportunity. This was yet another clear example of being able to pull from a deep repertoire of concepts to apply targeted, understandable and much needed perspective.

His holistic capacity to understand personal as well as organizational perspectives has made him a foundational member of our organization; we continue to benefit individually and collectively from his efforts.”
