These are some recent comments about Motivated And Competent:
Angus Jenkins (Global Head of Learning and Organisation Development, Wonga, and, now UK HR Director at Rackspace), July 2015:
“Jonathan is the consummate learning professional with a flexible, friendly and passionate approach. He truly understands the end to end learning process and quickly learns the context and constraints of the business to design and deliver solutions that meet ambitious outcomes. He is a joy to work with, I was proud to have him part of the team and strongly recommend him to anyone who wants a step-change in their approach to learning.”
Kieran Ryan (Customer Services Programme Manager at Wonga.com), March 2015:
“I worked closely with Jonathan during his time in Wonga. Jon really helped the team in developing top notch training material under quite strenuous timelines. His ability to take quite complex subject matter and make it easily accessible to staff was remarkable. Jon went the extra mile for us and helped deliver the material when we were resource constrained. I found Jonathan to be more than helpful and very professional in his attitude to his work. That coupled with his willingness to go the extra mile for customers made working with him a pleasure. In his time here, Jon really helped us out and was an asset to the programme, I would have no hesitation in recommending Jon.”
Steve Walker (Interim L&D manager at Wonga.com), February 2015:
“What I really like about working with Jonathan is the fact that he is energised, committed, focussed and motivated – all of the time. Combine that with a great sense of humour and you start to understand how he has so successfully supported a very challenging and at times extremely ambiguous L&D project over the past few months. The project would not have moved forward without his invaluable consultancy skills and sustained input. Jonathan is a great professional and I would gladly have him on the team any time.”
Phil Whetstone (Consultant at Evolution Training Services Ltd), July 2013:
“I’ve worked with Jon on numerous occasions in L&D and change roles. I rate him as one of the strongest and credible L&D professionals I know. As Director of Motivated and Competent Jon quickly appreciates and understands the demands of his clients. He has great attention to detail and you can trust him to provide creative and timely learning solutions. I have recommended Jon many times and will continue to do so.”
Sarah Fellows Dip CII (Financial Planning Sales Manager), April 2012:
“I was a Sales Manager, trained by Jonathan during his time working at HSBC. Quality of training was second to none. His passion, dedication and attention to detail made the learning a real pleasure. A fabulous trainer with wonderful people skills.”
Colin Kemp (Brewin Dolphin, Head of Learning Projects & Technologies), June 2011:
“I have worked with Jonathan on numerous occasions over the past ten years, in varied learning and development roles. Jonathan is an extremely competent trainer, with an ability to deliver across a range of subjects, including knowledge, skills and IT systems. More recently, I brought Jonathan into my team to help embed a project methodology to our internal training consultancy approach. This involved educating both our internal training people and our internal customers. Jonathan led a number of training projects in his time here, all to successful completion. During this time, he helped develop our approach, including processes and documentation. He also provided coaching to other team members to significantly improve their ‘consulting’ skills. I have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan for any learning and development related role, and would be happy to provide a more detailed reference if required.”
Kosta Christofi (Santander, L&D), August 2010:
“Jonathan has shown himself to be energetic, reliable and knowledgable in his dealings with me: I reccommend him….!”
Irene Baylis (Eyejbee Ltd), 2009:
“It has been my pleasure to work with Jonathan several times over recent years and I have always been impressed by his total focus on the very best quality in design and delivery standards and incorporating innovative best practice. His professional approach and personal integrity combined with his extensive knowledge make him an excellent choice as a people developer.”
Tony Clarke-Holland (The Business Coaching Foundation), 2008:
“Having worked with Jonathan over the last ten years, I can say without hesitation that his skill sets are well matched to a variety of training, project and delivery requirements confronting most businesses these days. As an individual Jonathan is highly ethical, reliable and professional. I look forward to a continuing relationship with Jonathan”.
Gemma Gourdie (Capco), December 2008:
“Jonathan’s passion, hard work and dedication to developing people is second to none. He gives 100% and is an asset to any organisation. A team player with a great sense of humour!”
