The Outstanding Professional in the Age of AI

“This course has been extremely relevant as I’ve returned to freelancing after being employed for a few years. It feels as though each month’s topic has been exactly the lesson I’ve needed to learn. As a result, I’ve engaged a new client in a sector I’ve never worked in before, re-engaged old clients, and nurtured more in the pipeline. The material is insightful, inspiring and very down-to-earth – delivered with humour and empathy. It’s honestly been a game-changer for me.”

“Reworking my introduction (using John’s guidelines for professional identity) has resulted in a stream of new prospects, won me a prestigious scholarship and boosted reputation and influence. As a result, I’ve engaged fresh clients at higher fees, so I can now shed my reliance on a single under-paying client. Furthermore, the sales cycle is shorter because it gives decision-makers the vital link to their needs”.

“I’m delighted to see The Outstanding Professional is been revived in the Age of AI. This program made an outstanding difference to both my revenue and my reputation. Working both on confidence as well as competence, this is exactly what’s needed in these times. What really gives good confidence is the fact that what John teaches us is not only applicable in my own personal development, it also makes me a better advisor to my clients.”

“Thanks to this course, I feel more up to date with the latest developments in AI and its impact on professional fields. I’ve come to the conviction that, just like I had to learn how to use a smartphone or a computer, I now need to integrate AI into my work and learn how to use it in the best possible way. Without this knowledge, I wouldn’t be able to remain active in my field. I now see ChatGPT as a support tool that helps me feel more motivated to start tasks. I’m also learning how to use it effectively, which has made some routine tasks much quicker to perform.”

“The Outstanding Professional was fundamental to the success of my first business. I was able to quickly build a strong brand and a virtual team to support me. From the outset John helped me see myself as a business owner with a professional practice, and not must another consultant or trainer. The combination of regular 121 coaching and a themed programme of workshops with vast resources and practical workbooks was very powerful. I can highly recommend TOP to any business owner or independent professional.”

“I particularly appreciated the “Suggested Responses” when pushing back against demanding and determined potential clients. As a result, I’ve gained greater confidence to clarify the underlying client needs and true scope of work.”

“It’s great to see The Outstanding Professional has been reimagined for the age of AI. It seems to me that the next few years will present both opportunities and threats for independent professionals and small business owners. Based on my experience of working with John, over many years, this programme will undoubtably help those who are prepared to embrace the challenges ahead.”
