One-to-one or small-group coaching that tackles what really matters in your leadership—from a climate-conscious perspective. Flexible, supportive, and challenging. Typically an hour a month for six months, or as needed.

A powerful blend of personal leadership development and high-performing teamwork, designed for practical leaders in the Ag sector. Over nine months, we spend seven days in the hills doing deep, actionable work—based in ski lodges or school camps. Delivered by a top facilitation team.

In partnership with the Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce, we’re launching the region’s first programme focused on developing climate-responsive organisational leaders.

Designed for those ready to move from status quo to visionary.
Launching Q3 2025.

I’ve worked with Outward Bound Aotearoa for over 20 years—as instructor, manager, and now facilitator of their professional leadership programmes and internal leadership team.

Currently, I’m supporting the organisation to explore climate-responsive leadership in ways that are both research-informed and deeply practical.

“Jon is a trusted partner in leadership development and climate leadership design.”

At Collective Intelligence, I facilitate cross-sector leadership teams—from farming to fintech, health to education—who grow by learning together.

My role is to harness the group’s diverse strengths so everyone walks away a little transformed, every time.

“Jon builds deep connection, gets great results, and owns his fuck-ups. An exceptional facilitator.”
—Harv, Founder, Collective Intelligence

When team members are at different stages in their leadership, we use The Leadership Circle 360 and monthly coaching to support individual growth.

This can stand alone or lead into whole-group work to build shared direction and commitment.

In recent work with Nelson’s oldest law firm, I partnered with a younger female coach to offer choice and balance.

Each year, Bayleys agents head into the Marlborough hills for a leadership day focused on resilience, tough conversations, performance under pressure, and leading culture.

It’s fun, challenging, and builds real connection—and has become a key part of Bayleys’ leadership calendar.

“Jon and Nir helped us surface real challenges and grow through them.”
—Tim O’Malley, Performance and Culture Manager

What started as coaching for a builder-turned-owner has expanded into company-wide culture work. I now support foremen developing frontline leadership—helping them shift from “on the tools” to seeing the bigger picture.

“Jon understands us and has helped grow our leadership and team culture. We consider him part of our team.”
—Pam Gardiner, Business Owner
