John Buckley
MMII, ACCA, QFA, MBA

John has more than 20 years of marketing, business strategy and sales management experience. His business background, while mainly involved in Financial Services, is also very familiar within the industries of medical, print and construction. In all businesses there are bottom-line goals to be achieved e.g. revenue, profit, market share. It is the reason why an organisation exists. However, his main focus has always been on how people (human relations goals) can collaborate to accomplish these bottom line goals.

John is also a Director of Momentum Business Coaching, providing one to one coaching with Executives and Business Owners, helping his clients achieve greater profitability and enjoyment in their lives, by working more 'on' their business rather than 'in' it.

His work, while largely in sales and strategic development, is mainly focused on helping executives (backbone) articulate their positions in the face of others challenging them, while also having compassion (heart) for those they lead, seeking to understand their challenges, concerns and ideas and ultimately making a major positive impact on the people they work with.

John is a graduate of Corporate Coach U Europe, which is ICF (International Coaching Federation) accredited.

John is also a Certified Master Coach (CMC) with The Behavioural Coaching Institute.
