Jonno always has a story or words of wisdom for any situation and has done a great job in helping our team to communicate and work together. In working with Jonno, our team has begun to work together more efficiently, ensuring that we don’t become silos in our areas. He has helped us to grow both individually and as a team to benefit not just our organisation but those we lead. I highly recommend Jonno!

– Dirk Lategan, Australia

Jonno has a way of making sense of where an organisation is at with imagery/metaphor that sticks and becomes an anchor point for conversation about making the best way forward. He leads honest conversation which brings blind spots to the light so that the team can move forward together.

– Nathan Gilmour, Australia

I had been struggling to connect meaningfully with a direct report when I came across Step Up or Step Out. The write up immediately resonated with me. Reading it provided me with clarity on what I needed to do. I established a regular one on one coaching connect on a weekly basis which has definitely changed the relationship for the better.

– Taryn Haynes-Smart, South Africa

Jonno is a fantastic presenter and facilitator. We so appreciated the skillful way he engaged with our team. In a short space in time he was able to move our team forward, working together towards achieving the vision of our organisation with greater clarity and purpose. I would thoroughly recommend Jonno for working with any management team in the future.

Step Up or Step Out

Step Up or Step Out

I’ve discovered a simple way to deal with difficult people. It doesn’t require a massive conflict or confrontation. All you need is clear expectations to see results! Because, contrary to popular belief, conflict is the last step for successfully dealing with a difficult person. By clarifying or changing expectations and picking small battles without any surprises, the difficult people in your life will step up or step out within four weeks (without any one-off massive battles where everyone loses!). If you’re thinking, “But I don’t have enough confidence to have conflict with this difficult person”, I’ve created three stages to dealing with difficult people that you can start implementing right away.
