‘Man Unplugged’ is like an atlas of the man’s heart. It traverses the wide terrain of mountains and valleys, vulnerabilities and strengths, light and dark, of the experience of men. Importantly, John speaks to the everyman hero in a way that is calm, balanced and down to earth. I hope that many men will read […]

In the 2nd edition of Man Unplugged, John has skilfully crafted and updated an already great book – he has a keen eye for the dynamics of the insincere and insecure nature of our prevailing consumer culture, where the burden of masculinity serves neither men nor women. Well worth a read! David Mallard ~ President, […]

POWERFUL! I found Man Unplugged comprehensive and nourishing, and a must-read for men and women. John skillfully weaves his own rites of passage into the Great Journey all men must take, and much, much more. The reader is obliged to question, “Who am I in this matter?” John potently engages with both his head and […]

​John has been running businesses for almost 40 years and has tremendous experience in every aspect of running a successful business: business growth, marketing, sales, leadership, organisation and management. He is not one of those business coaches who only ever ran his coaching business. I hate coaches who have never run businesses outside of their […]

John has been a mentor/coach for me and my business partner for over 12 months now, but the amount of support and guidance he has given stretches beyond the typical role of business coach. His experience in business enabled him to assist us with many systems which led to greater efficiency. John also helped supported me […]

I have known John for more than 30 years. In the past we have worked together in the same businesses and recently collaboratively on projects and business opportunities. I have found John to be a trusted and loyal colleague and he is a mentor and friend. Articulate, extremely enthusiastic and prepared to help anyone who […]
