TAKING YOU TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
OUR CORE VALUES*
INSPIRE
We are committed to inspiring leaders so that they are fully empowered in their lives and subsequently inspire others to lead through the example of their leadership.
NURTURE
We love to nurture and empower leaders, providing them with the tools, encouragement and support so that they too will encourage and support the communities they impact.
QUESTION
We thrive on questioning and challenging existing behaviours and paradigms. We understand that true growth exists outside of what we already consider we know and we continually explore what else is possible.
LEAD
We are committed to encouraging effective leadership and developing effective leaders in life, community and business. We challenge ourselves to be a demonstration of that.
UNCOVER
We are relentless in exploring what gets in the way of a leader unleashing their full potential and that of their teams and business. We support them in seeking and uncovering.
These values determine what you can expect from each and every interaction with our team.
“Breakdowns are necessary for growth, and unless we are prepared to push through to the other side, we may miss the opportunity for that growth”.
John Smallwood
TESTIMONY (COACH)
Before I started working with John I did not really know how to coach C-Level execs, general managers and leaders on their leadership skills. I also was not aware of how to coach people using the ontological model.
Through the work with John my confidence in both myself and level of assertiveness grew, I have successfully launched and scaled my coaching business, serving more than 50 people in the first 10 months. During my coaching, training and mentoring with John, I have learned as a coach how to engage vice presidents and general managers and have powerful coaching conversations that bring about results.
One of my first clients has already achieved 30% revenue growth as a result of my application of the coaching skills, which I have developed thanks to John and the Engenesis Thrive Coaching training. For anyone who wants to take their personal effectiveness - as a human, manager, husband, partner or coach to the next level, I highly recommend working with John, becoming a Being Profile Practitioner and an Ontological Thrive coach.

TESTIMONY (CLIENT)
It was once explained to me that strategy only works if you truly understand where your organisation currently resides. A misdiagnosis at this most fundamental of levels by management, whether intentional, self-serving, out of fear, denial, insecurity or just plain ignorance, guarantees the organisation will not achieve it's strategic goals.
So it is for personal development. Working with John brought a clarity of awareness as to where I was, and what was required of me to become the leader and individual I wanted to be. He continually challenges, pushes and motivates you to change how you do things, to evolve and to transform, to remove perceived obstacles and barriers. To take responsibility for the type of leader you currently are, and the one you would like to be. If one visualizes the intertwined matrix that is leadership and team performance, John is Neo, all you have to do is take the red pill.

TESTIMONY (TEAM)
John is a very knowledgeable and intelligent man. He is very personable and creates a very relaxed and educational environment. I learned more about myself in our 2 hour session than I have done in my previous 30+ years on this earth. I look forward to working with John again in the future, and tapping into his fountain of knowledge.
