Hello, I'm John Durkin – Business Psychologist and founder of Unless Ltd.

I believe in helping people to engage with themselves, their work and other people on a deeper level, in order to deliver higher speed and performance in a corporate setting, while fostering greater connections on a human level. I provide individual coaching programmes to help people communicate more effectively and to pursue self-improvement using the latest behavioural science and psychology. I have worked as an organisational development consultant and professional development coach for businesses across the UK and US helping to coach/mentor over 150 individuals within their respective companies. My clients include new managers/supervisors, established managers, directors and C-Suite executives (available for contact as referees).

What I do

I provide in-business coaching to help develop and retain talent and increase engagment in a work setting by focussing on the Three E's™

01

Engagement

Simply put, caring about the work you do and the values of the business you are a part of. Fully engaged employees are more creative, more productive and stick around longer.

02

Encouragement

A good support network is one of the key pillars of mental resilience, and a big part of success in business. Encouraged employees have the support of those around them and offer support to others in return.

03

Empowerment

Self-confidence can be a great asset for increasing performance, particularly when coupled with an objective analysis of current results. An empowered employee is more proactive, less defensive and works better with others.

Testimonials

"The best thing I've ever done, I wish I'd done it sooner. When it was suggested that I undergo coaching I was unsure, now things are completely different for me. My whole team are now on the program and the benefits to the company are obvious. I'd be happy to discuss my experience with anyone who is interested in finding out more."

George Roberts (Ops Director, Amaray)

“Having John as a coach has been a gamechanger for me, not just in my career but throughout every aspect of my life.  What I appreciate the most about him is that he challenges me to not just do things differently, but instead to think differently.  Deciding to work with John is one of the most impactful decisions I have ever made.”
