"I was at an important part of my growth in business and as a leader.

I was aware that just my market knowledge wasn’t enough to get me by and that my age and lifestyle, I felt, weren’t giving my family, my team or myself the best platform for success. Things were beginning to slip, and I wasn’t as present at home, always thinking about work or recovering from a night out justified by either a bad week or a good week. And at work, I wasn’t as good as I could be as I had no rest bite.

Things were starting to play on my mind and have an additional negative impact, but I always gave myself the excuse that the lifestyle was part of me, the industry and who I am – I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t like that, and I couldn’t network the same way without. 

I reached out to Jack after seeing a few people I know and respect who have used his program and coming from a leader/business development background like myself, where you are only as good as you were last month. They found the program changed them for the better, so I wanted to give it a go. 

I signed up... I started working with Jack and we got along really well in our sessions he was good at getting things focused on the task at hand, and making sure the time spent is all about you. 

He was structured and followed up well but also allowed flex at times in what was discussed or how the meeting went depending on what challenges or topics I had on at the time.

The program was over 12 main weeks, here’s what it did for me:

• I stopped drinking in excess and quit nicotine overnight  - something I never thought I could do.
• I went from being a night owl getting most of my work done when the team left the office, to a morning person walking the dogs at 4 am and getting all my key things done in the office before the team arrived.
• That led to being a better partner at home, more mentally present and capable of meaningful conversation - I wasn’t burned out and deep-down wanting silence to recover from the day good or bad.
• I lead with more positivity than before as I feel more positive, and have balance in my work and certainly became a better leader than before the program.
• There is now welcomed discipline in all areas of my life and everything around me has improved. 
• Before, I felt like I never had enough time to manage all areas of my life, and of course, it is still a work in progress… it always will be… but I found 40% more time by following the program and holding myself accountable for what happens around me far more.

Now things have finalised with Jack, I really focus on my purpose in life daily. I now know I have the skills needed to help guide my business as the winning team and the first choice for our customers in the industries we recruit for. 

To put things into perspective, and to let you know how much I felt it helped me -  I have since convinced my business partners to go on a program, as well as asked Jack to design a program specific to leaders in my business so they can have the same knowledge I now have, and feel the freedom that comes with being the best you can be and being truly aligned with your life purpose.

The only downside to all of this is one of my business partners thinks he’s Mo Farah, and the team are now so locked in that I need to raise my game again! 

The journey has become enjoyable again, and I highly recommend Jack to anyone who truly wants to be better and can see that the investment in themselves, can positively impact others around them and most importantly unlock the version of yourself you knew you could be."
