Former Royal Marine Commando & Specialist Extreme Environment Coach : Expedition Communications

Jon spent more than fourteen years as a Royal Marine Commando, operating in some of the most extreme climates and environments in the world, from Arctic warfare training in northern Norway and the US the deserts of the Sahara, Oman and Middle East, through to amphibious operations in the Far East. Since leaving The Royal Marines, Jon has been the lead trainer for North Face Europe, advising and writing for a wide range of fitness publications and is actively training teams for extreme events in mountain, polar, ultra marathons, and Transatlantic endurance rowing events

For as long as I remember, I’ve felt driven to explore the most remote corners of our world - and to share the richness of that experience with others. A wilderness guide and survivalist first, I’ve produced some of the biggest adventure and survival shows on TV, treading the line between extreme survival and entertainment for audiences of millions. I’ve shaped Emmy award winning content, and led talent and film crews in the world’s toughest environments for 20 years.

As expedition leader, I organise and lead adventures to remote wilderness locations. Keeping myself and my crew alive means learning to respect and understand intimately the terrain I’m operating in. But survival in the hardest conditions likewise demands that we understand our own mental landscape, finding the will to cross frontiers within ourselves. This inner exploration forms the second, essential pillar of my work: the wild has taught me that neither is possible without the other. And I have been fortunate to live with and learn from indigenous communities across the world; whose inner mastery and attunement to their outer landscape is the key to their survival. I believe passionately that these lessons apply not only to life-and death scenarios but to the environment of escalating pressure in which we find ourselves in day-to-day life – which is why my coaching practice integrates an academic background in psychology with the tactics that have saved my life on many occasions. From a steady space of understanding it’s possible not just to survive, but to flourish and lead from within the storm. I’d like to show you how.
