Clarity before the next step
About Me
I’ve spent over 30 years working with young people, graduates, and early-career professionals, including thousands of professionals across the MENA region.
I’ve held senior roles including CLO and COO within an international training and qualifications organisation and worked closely with Saudi professionals during periods of rapid growth and change.
My focus throughout my career has been developing the next generation — not by telling people what to do, but by helping them think clearly.

​
If your career is moving quickly but your direction feels unclear, this is for you.
​
Many professionals in their 20s and early 30s are progressing fast:
​
More responsibility
Higher expectations
Being noticed and relied upon earlier in their careers
​
What’s often missing is time and space to think clearly.
​
Not motivation. Not advice. Not another course.
​
Just clarity.
​
The 'CLARITY' Programme
'CLARITY' is private, one-to-one coaching focused on helping you:
-
clarify your next career step
-
think through decisions calmly
-
build a simple, realistic growth strategy
-

Identity & Expectations
Direction & Career Choices
Confidence, Presence & Credibility
Communication & Presentation Skills
Influence & Organisational Reality

Testimonials
"What I appreciated most was how practical the coaching was. We focused on real situations I was dealing with at work. I started to understand how communication, relationships, and influence really shape progress in organisations. A few months later I was trusted to lead a project team for the first time."

Understanding How Organisations Really Work
"The coaching felt like a calm place to think when work was becoming very busy. I often overthink decisions and worry about speaking up in meetings. Through the conversations I became much more comfortable presenting my ideas. Recently I delivered a presentation to our leadership team and received very positive feedback."

Building Confidence to Speak and Present
"Working with Jonathan through the Clarity programme was one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in my professional development. What makes his coaching different is the depth of experience he brings. Having held senior leadership roles in the region, he understands the realities of organisations here, while his background as a senior educator means he knows how to develop people thoughtfully.
The conversations helped me organise my thinking, communicate more confidently with senior leaders, and approach my career decisions with much greater clarity. The impact has been significant — both in how I lead myself and how I contribute within my organisation."
