“I can’t more emphatically recommend Jason Davenhill’s performance, aviation and life
coaching skill and application other than to say that he’s by far the best craftsman in his field
that I’ve encountered in all of my years in the military and working in aviation as a civilian
pilot and manager. He has laser-focused, precise understanding of the human condition and spirit, married to the most optimistic approach to improving the human condition one
person at a time. Jason’s love of instructing, professionalism, curiosity, humility and
contagious great attitude are absolutely what we need more of on this planet.” KF – airline senior pilot

“I think without Jason’s supervision, it would easy to not notice or brush something aside, because I know I have supervision, I am more mindful of my practice, so I think supervision is helping me to stay conscientious about my practice and extending my skills.” VL – executive coach

“My confidence as a pilot has grown exponentially thanks to Jason’s insightful knowledge of human behaviour in the cockpit environment. His ability to de-construct situations, then rebuild them in a positive and coherent manner has advanced my piloting skills beyond what I could have imagined. The change was rapid, over a matter of an hour spent with Jason, my outlook on flying has completely changed and I am now a safer, more confident pilot, able to control my flying environment and get the very most from my abilities and those of the aircraft” SK business owner and teacher

“Jason gave me the space and safety to explore a challenge I am facing in my practice working with a specific client organisation. His ability to create a safe space and his listening skills allowed me to think out loud in a way that enabled me to dig into the underlying emotions I am experiencing in the situation. Through reflecting back what I had said and making the connection to themes from previous sessions we’ve had, Jason helped me to recognise both opportunities for further learning and that creative spark to tap into my own insight for next steps.” DWH – coach and coaching teacher

“Having known Jason for ten years, I recently asked him for help to evaluate some work/life choices. Without swaying me either way, he immediately asked some thought-provoking questions before we booked in a discovery call to talk things through in more detail. On the phone he guided me through a process of looking at my personal, emotional and psychological needs in relation to the decision that needed to be made, and within 45 minutes I had found the answers I was looking for. It was a real life ‘light bulb’ moment. I loved his holistic, philosphical approach and would recommend working with Jason to anyone looking for guidance counselling or coaching in either their professional or personal life. He can help you find clarity amongst the chaos!” LE – Marketing specialist

“I found Jason’s friendly and enthusiastic approach to be quite uplifting. He offered guidance and opinion whilst somehow remaining completely impartial. I would have been happy to have spent the sessions being talked at and just listening! But he steered the conversation so that I came to natural conclusions myself, thus ensuring sustained learning had taken place.” KH – music teacher

“It has been my pleasure to work with Jason for the past few years in the RAF Reserves. As an aviator he is the consummate professional. As a performance coach he is of the highest calibre. As a friend he is peerless. I have recommended his coaching services privately on many occasions. His ability to help clients see what they perhaps previously did not want to is a true gift. He works exceptionally hard to add value to whatever relationship he is involved in. In an increasingly congested space of Human Factors and Performance he is a true master and honest to a fault. I can not recommend Jason highly enough. The world would be a better place if we all listened as well as he does.” JD – Consultancy director, former fast jet pilot and instructor

“Overall, Jason allowed me and facilitated me to take a fresh look at me predicament which, subsequently, led to me reducing the number of career options I had on the table such that I hone in on what was right for me.” NB – RN pilot

“I have known Jason for over 25 years and seen him develop into an outstanding mature professional coach. He has a disarming humility, understanding that so much personal development comes from within. His caring and compassionate approach combines with an intense passion and determination to help people achieve more in their lives. Jason is always enthusiastic and positive in his dealings with people, encouraging and supporting them to go further and reframe potential barriers that hold them back. He is a natural and very effective communicator and educator, whether delivering technical information to classes or one on one coaching and personal skills development. His endless energy, open smiling personality and sense of fun is a winning combination that people quickly respond to. Jason is a natural team player and leader who has learned much from his time in the RAF. He well understands the need for systems and discipline in organisations, but has the ability to improve and simplify processes to achieve greater staff buy in and thereby improve overall effectiveness. In short, I can recommend Jason without hesitation.” KB – CEO and Sustainability campaigner

“I found JD professional and extremely personable at all times. His grasp of the bio-psychosocial literature and science was impressive and very important for me, being in the medical health field. I need to know the ‘why’ and understand how changing thought patterns can work to change emotion and belief.” NH – Physiotherapist

“Jason had a very methodically and thoughtful approach, listening and understanding my needs and offering avenues I could consider rather than forcing solutions my way. The process was very relaxed with excellent two way interaction” LR – Masters athlete

“I have known Jason for over 25 years, firstly as a fellow RAF Officer, secondly as an outstanding athlete and more recently as an event organiser. As an outstanding musical and drama performer himself it is no surprise that he is so highly motivated and his proactive approach makes him such an amazing performance coach. He has always managed to use his incredibly varied background to push boundaries and to achieve outstanding results with people of all abilities.” BF – Doctor, International athlete and former RAF officer

“Until [] offered the coach performance for me and I accepted it cause i was desperate and lonely and i was seeking for someone to speak to , and when i first met Jace he was very friendly and good listener, and what i liked is he touched the correct spot in my head and work on it , and all that was in ENGLISH and I’m Arabic speaker and the English language is my second , the improvement was obvious and my first sortie after the coaching was above average , coaching was so honest and secret which made me really comfortable during each session, MBTI system was working very well with me when Jace rehearsal it with me and reminding me of my type , gave me a bigger vision on my type and made me to understand my self and my faults in easier way.” YH – UAE Instructor pilot

“As the session went on, I was able to better understand my own personality traits, specific to the learning environment, and how I could use those aspects to become more efficient in the way I learn, without being overly self-critical. Jason helped me to explore a number of techniques that I could apply to both my ground and air work-cycles. Specific examples of this included breaking down an airborne sortie in to smaller sections and ‘armchair flying’ it in real time, rather than trying to run the sortie in my head at an accelerated pace, and pacing these revision sessions out over the course of a day. Jason also utilized the Myers Briggs Type Indicator to help explain my natural learning tendencies in various situations. Up until that point I had been something of an MBTI sceptic, but his in-depth explanations and real-world examples allowed me to see the usefulness of the system as a tool for personal development. What I found to be of particular use was his guided discussion, which allowed me to reach many of the conclusions myself, as opposed to him simply offering solutions.” PH – RAF senior officer and instructor.

“Jace was unique in his instructional techniques, not only taking students through regimented and detailed courses, but also taking the student’s personality and learning techniques into account, allowing them to learn in their best environment. Also a fantastic life coach, always on hand to give out tips and tricks for life from his extensive military and civilian experience.” TW – Flying student

“Have worked along side Jason within the aviation industry Is always a pleasure to work with him. With his ability to look at tasks from different perspectives and approaches, you can be sure the job at hand is moving on accordingly. A great motivator with in the team and helping team members adapt and overcome there obstacles.” PD – Helicopter Instructor

“Incredibly knowledgeable gentleman. Jason’s delivery of passing on that knowledge to aid deeper understanding is inclusive and tailored to each individual ensuring maximum impact in their lives. An extremely personable character who consistently goes above and beyond in order to help people. It’s an honour to have worked with Jason and I hope to do so again in the near future.” RR – Entrepreneur

“Jace was my flying instructor and mentor during my time in the University Air Squadron, I would say that nobody had a bigger impact on this (at the time) young man looking for his place in the world. Not only did he challenge me on what I thought I wanted from myself, but he also enabled me to see and like what I was great at. This blunt but authentic encouragement is still to this day guiding me through each big decision and has perhaps become even more relevant a decade later as I launch my first solely-owned business. Thank you Jace.” SN – Brand specialist
