Who Am I?

Hi and thanks for stopping by.

As a Career Coach and Mentor, I’m passionate about helping people feel excited to go to work because they get to do the things they truly love.

Over the last 8+ years, I've specialised in Personal Branding and Career Management Strategies, where I've worked with over 300 people across a wide range of industries, helping them better connect with their purpose, take strategic control and design their careers exactly how they want it to be.

I call it a Career By Design!

My Coaching

I believe we all desire a career that gives us a sense fulfillment, purpose and satisfaction.

We want to be recognised for our expertise and value as well as being financially rewarded at the level we truly deserve.

Unfortunately, many people get stuck in jobs far below their capability, with salaries much less than what they really should be on.

Too often, they lack clarity in direction and end up drifting or stagnating. This ultimately leads to frustration, a lack of motivation, low self-confidence and unhappiness :-(

So, my coaching is focused on helping people:

Get clear on who and what they are

Understand what makes them valuable

Gain clarity of career direction

Build their Personal Brand for career acceleration

Sell themselves in a confident and authentic way

Create self-marketing strategies to attract opportunities

My Crazy Career Journey

Over the last 20 years, I’ve been a high school teacher and a sales consultant. I’ve worked in marketing and been an IT recruiter. All this before I found my passion as a Career Coach and Mentor nearly a decade ago.

For each career pivot, I had to reinvent myself, tell a new story and communicate just how and why I’d be a valuable asset to a new company.

Through teaching I learned how to guide and mentor. From marketing I learned the key fundamentals of branding, storytelling and positioning. Through recruitment I learned what it takes to be a standout candidate and how to sell yourself in a competitive market.

My mission is to help people find their professional voice, increase their professional self-awareness and confidence and give them greater certainty of career direction, so that they can enjoy the career they truly deserve!

So, come and join me in my classes and get ready to love your Monday mornings.

I worked with Johnathan in 2020/2021 during the pandemic. Working with him has been a life-altering experience for me. Johnathan is very skillful at extracting from you the inner genius that we all have, and showing you how it can shift your career by being more authentic. - Mathias Ssenabulya – Senior System Architect and Business Mindset Coach

I learnt how I could position myself as a solution to a business problem – a very useful insight. I definitely have a stronger sense of what makes me valuable to a business and this, in turn, has helped me re-establish my confidence. - Candy Booysen – Senior Marketing Manager

Working with Johnathan all stemmed from me not being able to clearly articulate the answer to the classic question “so tell me about yourself?” Johnathan was able to dissect my career, skillset and motivations and deconstruct me as an individual. Through this process Johnathan uncovered some real “light bulb” moments which instantly gave me clarity. - Craig Knox – CFO, Business Growth and Transformation Specialist
