Thank You

"[Backdrop] was excellent – very easy to work with, humorous and insightful – thanks."

'This review really allowed us to confront what we knew but perhaps had not acknowledged clearly enough. It will now be the basis of a whole school QFT focus ....'

'[Backdrop] worked with Khalsa Academy Trust on a strategic review for SEND processes and provision in our schools for a year long project and demonstrated his excellent knowledge of the subject, [their] ability to adapt strategies to a schools’ context and most importantly how he brings the wider staff along with his improvement agenda. [Backdrop] is highly regarded because of his integrity, hard work and relentless focus on the what’s best for children with barriers to their learning.'

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.

'Our day with {Backdrop] was very useful and has left us with a clear plan regarding our next steps. [Their] work has underpinned much of our recent self-evaluation but added an expert view on how to move things forward. Advice and strategies shared to date have been very useful and Jon was supportive and thought provoking throughout his visit. We very much look forward to the opportunity to work with Jon in the future.
