Congratulations – you are a senior leader looking for results that matter!

Leadership Coach

The leaders I work with gain clarity, confidence, and calm as they find both success and greater impact. Here’s who I work with:

Senior leaders who may be struggling with massive change or transitions and might fail without coaching support (Ex: New role, new boss, disrupted industry, downsizing, massive growth, covid-19, etc.)

High-performing leaders dissatisfied in their ability to influence others, gain promotion, or have found success but lost their sense of purpose.

Hi-Tech Leaders who are looking to get to the next level of performance or satisfaction in their work. Things move quickly and there is a need for increased communication skills and greater connection to values that create huge impact.

I’m most successful working with leaders who are:

  • Action-oriented, and go the extra mile to develop the leaders on their teams
  • Committed to continuously improving how they operate
  • Open to doing things a little differently. You move beyond “best practices” to innovate and find new ways to excel

“I felt that if I couldn’t resolve the ongoing dynamic at work, my work life — all parts of my life — would continue to suffer. This was something that I didn’t want anymore. I wasn’t sure if coaching would really help, but now I can say my coaching relationship with John has been the most impactful work I’ve done in my life.

I’ve dramatically increased my ability to be self-reflective, not only after an event but in the moment. I’ve grown my capacity to recognize patterns in my behavior and thoughts and to consider whether they’re serving me or not. I’m less judgmental, more curious. And I’m better able to bounce back more easily from a moment in which I feel like I failed. And I have more energy to work towards doing a better job the next time.“

Erin D.

Executive Director

A leadership role can be isolating especially when it comes to dealing with challenges. As a 1st time CEO/President of a non-profit organization I needed to find someone that was going to support my success. I wanted someone experienced in both non-profit and for-profit organizations to leverage best practices. John’s extensive background in both of these areas set him apart from many other coaches.

Through my work with John, I feel less isolated and more supported in my leadership role. He truly listened and asked probing questions to help me develop deeper and different understanding. He helped me get to the core of the challenges I faced and also to create a clear path with action steps to overcome that challenge. As a result, I have more ownership of my goals and actions to achieve them. I would highly recommend John if you are looking to develop your clarity and effectiveness as a leader!

Nonprofit CEO

Working with John, I enjoyed feeling empowered to advocate for my needs at work and practicing the language and tone most to effectively impact change. I like how John is quickly able to pick up on the most pressing coaching topic, and asks non-judgmental probing questions to help me develop solutions.

I would recommend John to anyone that would benefit from a coach who will challenge you, and help you stay on a path toward meeting your goals.

Rich C.

Director

“Being a business owner during 2020 alone was one of the greatest professional challenges of my life and hiring John in the middle of the pandemic was one of the smartest things I did last year.

I found John to have one of the greatest superpowers that someone can have: I felt that he really cared about me and my well-being.  I wasn’t just another client of John’s, and I could tell that he’s not the kind of coach that just goes through the motions.  John’s sincerity and genuine interest in my well-being was clear from the beginning.  But I also found John to be a coach that knows that him telling me what to do won’t strengthen me in the long run, but that developing tools to uncover my inner guidance system was paramount.

I’ve learned how to have a deeper, more trusting relationship with myself.  I’ve gained greater clarity about what I’m really want and am trying to accomplish in life. And I am more relaxed and effective as I move towards my goals!  I would recommend working with John for anyone looking for greater clarity, ease, and confidence.“
