John Holden
Leadership Coach and founder at Futureproof Mentoring
John works as an executive coach with business owners and senior executives, helping them to raise their game and to perhaps face their demons, to get traction in the direction they truly want to travel. Equally, if everything’s going ‘fine’, John challenges his clients to stretch themselves, asking incisive questions to explore what is truly possible, rather than just nicely comfortable. John is a former international chief executive with a track record of growing wholly-owned and joint-venture businesses, running enterprises with turnover of £200m+ and more than 1,000 staff. He’s also worked as a management trainer, delivering sessions all over the world. As a Chief Executive, he’s worked and lived in four different countries, which has been as beneficial as it’s been enjoyable, to understand how business is done within different cultures. As a group facilitator, John brings this mix of international business leadership, formal business training, professional coaching and a psychometric toolkit to the table. He relishes helping businesses build strategy and teams that focus on execution. John is a Professional Certified Coach, accredited by the International Coaching Federation, and a Master Neurolinguistic Programming Practitioner.
