Foundations of Team
Team Coaching with a clear VMV and strategy are crucial for any team’s long-term alignment and direction. The optional two-day “Foundations of Team” workshop helps teams develop their VMV and strategy, using processes like SWOT, PEST analysis, and Jim Collins’ Hedgehog Concept to enhance performance and cohesion.

On Track Monthly
On Track is a monthly team coaching meeting reviewing team performance and development over a year. It assesses progress on goals and softer aspects, fostering open conversations. Additionally, it educates team members to improve communication, build trust, and enhance overall performance, leading to a high-performing team.

'I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the SEND Review process. [Backdrop Leadership] has provided clear guidance regarding how to conduct the reviews and the areas to explore. As a result, I am confident that I have gained an overview of both the strengths of SEN provision within [the area] and the areas that require focus during the coming year.'

Working as an accountant in a busy accountancy firm, I was initially sceptical about how coaching could fit into my professional life. Jon Gibson completely changed that perspective. His approach is warm, engaging, and refreshingly fun, while maintaining a high level of professionalism throughout. Every session felt like a safe space to explore challenges and opportunities without judgement.
Jon helped me identify areas for growth I hadn’t considered before, and gave me practical tools to improve my confidence, communication, and leadership skills. I’ve noticed a real difference in how I manage client relationships and collaborate with colleagues. Coaching with Jon wasn’t just about ticking boxes; it was about unlocking potential in a way that felt personal and empowering.
I’d recommend him to anyone looking to take their professional development seriously, but with a human touch.
