John Prendergast

My corporate career was spent leading teams across Europe and Asia within the technology, retail, and manufacturing sectors. Over 20 years, I had the privilege of holding leadership roles at global organizations including Tesco, Kingfisher, Siemens, and Sun Microsystems.

In 2021, my focus shifted toward helping others unlock their full potential. Today, I am dedicated to serving as a coach and mentor, helping young people navigate their own paths to sustainable success and fulfillment.

Since 2021, I have volunteered as a coach and mentor with The King’s Trust, guiding young people into employment, through specialized training, and into business startups. To deepen my practice, I became a certified leadership and development coach in 2023, following an intensive 18-month "Coaching and Leadership in Action" certification with the Ontological Coaching Institute.

In a fiercely competitive and ever-changing world, I will listen, ask the right questions, and support you through the significant challenges of finishing your education and building a career. Together, we will build your confidence, cultivate a resilient mindset, and ensure you are thoroughly workplace-ready.

Client Recommendation: "While there is no single panacea for confidence issues or a lack of career skills, John’s guidance and mentoring completely turned my life around. I have grown immensely during our time together."
