“I have engaged John numerous times over the last decade. His techniques have allowed me to bring together complex team relationships for Joint Ventures in lightning speed, resolve conflict relationships, recruit outstanding executives and master plan large scale global corporate restructures. I don’t have time not to rely on John’s people insights!”

“John provides ‘Excellence’ in team understanding and cohesion. He provides a level of service way beyond the brief. Working with John is often a revelation. After the first session of the programme, he identified a trait that I was completely blind to. The programme paid for itself immediately in my view. Amazing! He adds much more value to the team and its learning than his proposal will ever state.”

“John’s unsurprisingly curious and warm nature enables him to quickly build trust with individuals and identify opportunities to strengthen the cohesion of senior leaders. Within a cycle of engagement John works closely with individuals to understand personalities, what motivates people, what drives their behaviours and brings leaders together to achieve results. John’s personalised coaching techniques (one on one and group sessions) encourage individuals to look inwardly; recognise how an emotional predisposition creates an outward response, and help individuals learn how to harness that understanding to positively influence work dynamics. John’s experience in coaching senior leaders is evident through the visible change in a leadership teams ability to work more effectively, more productively and with a higher level of emotional intelligence.”

“I have utilised John now on two different assignments and can vouch for that fact that he has made a significant impact in improving collaboration and personal development across our team. His information and insight has provided me with a good tool to support decision making. ”

“I have worked with John for many years and have always found John to be insightful and honest when it comes to getting the most out of the team. John helped me get to the heart of what was important despite the constant swirl and demands of busy corporate life. Having the time to reflect and have someone outside of the organisation to bounce ideas off and tell you what is and isn’t working always helped. The ability to understand various personalities within the team not only gives you a head start on how to deal with them but more importantly how to motivate them. I thoroughly recommend spending some time with John.”

“John is an industry recognised expert in corporate counsel and emotional behaviours and specialises in building and engineering high performance environments. John’s ability to understand the project charter and work cohesively with the broader delivery team, ensures they are working in the most effective and efficient area. As John would phrase it “Quality Team Quality Results”. I have used John on several of my technical and diverse projects, his ability to sit at the boardroom or project control team table provides an equilibrium that ensure focus, performance and a high level of productivity. ”

“John Lane-Smith is an extraordinary personality. He has successfully transcended the coarse exterior of construction contractors, engineers and foreman to build communication skills. His affable approach connects with a diversity of people in a diversity of ways to direct their energy into positive relationships, self-awareness and improved communication.”

“John is truely leader in his field, his expert knowledge and understanding of people and team cohesion has helped our firm immensely. We have used John at different stages of the recruitment process and with existing staff. John’s insight at times as been extraordinarily accurate. I would highly recommend John and the work he does, he certainly has a talent with people and is unique in the way he recognises and brings out the best in people!”

“Cannot recommend John and his team highly enough. The insights of the IWAM test have been brilliant in helping me to communicate effectively with almost anyone in the workplace. Its been remarkable how insightful this survey really is.”

“John Lane-Smith at EPS’s system and expert advice on the team cohesion, and behaviours was invaluable. The insights on my and others drivers and demotivators was in the first instance unexpected, and on reflection so revealing. The analysis of the group dynamics is a powerful tool to start working towards a high performing team and I have utilised the information on my personal drivers towards redefining my life and career expectations.”

“John is an extraordinarily unique individual whose passion is to improve people’s relationships within their workplace, and consequently their success at work, by helping them understand how to communicate effectively with everyone around them. John has literally turned peoples lives around from poor performers to happy achievers by simply showing them and others around them how to respect and communicate with each other. We should all try it!”
