A Passionate Coach And Peak Performance Presenter

Woollam had the pleasure of working with John as a business coach and facilitator, and we can happily attest to his incredible ability to effectively communicate complex concepts and ideas in an entertaining manner. He is passionate about what he does and has a wealth of knowledge that he is more than willing to share.

John’s coaching sessions were incredibly educational and provided our teams with relevant and practical insights into peak-performance leadership and team building. His approach to coaching is engaging and motivating, and he always goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients get the most out of his sessions.

Overall, I would highly recommend John Buchanan as a business coach and facilitator. If you are looking for an engaging person to improve the performance of your team and learn new skills, then John is the coach for you.

John facilitated a Workshop in May 2021 for our Group Fleet Managers. The purpose was to generate a mindset of innovation and creativity with the group and provide tips on dealing with pressure and stress. The individuals who attended were asked to bring three roadblocks that created the most headaches or inefficiencies in the operation of their business or were prohibiting them from focusing on important tasks in their dealerships. John was great in helping the workshop groups look at ways to manage or change these roadblocks and look for ways to achieve the right outcomes in their business. Our training session ran from 8.30am-11.45 so for the short amount of time we had I believe all the attendee’s came away with solid plans to take back to their business.

John finished the session with the Everest Leaders Playbook presentation, and we still have some Managers who quote items from this session – in other words it did stick with certain people. Next time round I think we would look for a longer session and aim to have a full day. John was very good to work with leading up to the session and spent quite a lot of time initially talking with us to work out the outcomes we wanted from the training. We would certainly look to engage with him for future sessions.

John Buchanan’s motivational speaking business is truly five stars! As the former coach of the Australian Cricket team, John brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to his presentations. His delivery is both engaging and inspiring, leaving the audience motivated to tackle challenges head on. His unique approach to problem-solving and team building has been life-changing for me and my colleagues. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to boost morale and drive success in their personal or professional life.

John Buchanan is a true inspiration in the world of motivational speaking. As the former coach of the Australian Cricket team, he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the stage. His speeches are packed with valuable insights, and his delivery is engaging, dynamic and energetic. I had the pleasure of attending one of his events and was blown away by his ability to connect with the audience. His positive outlook on life and his passion for helping people succeed is truly contagious. I highly recommend John Buchanan for anyone looking for a motivational speaker who will leave a lasting impact.

Contour Consulting Engineers engaged John Buchanan of Buchanan Success Performance Coaching to facilitate a workshop with our team during November 2022.

John began the session by ‘breaking the ice’ with stories around his previous working life, including the many unique characters he has worked and played sport with, and revealed how participating in high-level sport generated similar challenges to corporate business operations. This approach was highly entertaining and encouraged participation from our whole team.

During the workshop, John focussed on the following categories:

• Vision/Strategy
• Leadership Culture
• Learning Environment
• Talent Management 
• Success Measures – Metrics and Rewards

Staff were encouraged to provide their thoughts on our business relevant to these categories, and John categorised responses into common themes which then enabled a better visual of the current state of our business, including the areas that required immediate attention.  

John completed the workshop by delivering a scorecard of the above categories, highlighting those areas that he, and our broader group, considered needed the most thought and consideration.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with John and feel confident he has delivered tangible benefits to our staff and to the company as a whole.

We plan to schedule our next session in early 2023 and look forward to reviewing our progress with John.

“John was the perfect speaker to have at our recent franchisee offsite. John understood our brief and adapted his session to have relevance to our business and objectives, while relating back to his personal experience in life and on the cricket field. Our franchisee feedback was wonderful and we would highly recommend John to others in the future.”
