“For me the SMG executive development program was the perfect fit exactly at the right time. The opportunity to bounce leadership ideas and issues off a highly experienced coach was just fantastic. The level of trust that developed between myself and Jon was such that I was able to divulge areas where I felt that I personally needed to improve and work on appropriate personal strategies. I genuinely feel I am now a better, more confident leader than I was twelve months ago.”
