Relationships

People need people. It’s a truth that’s easy to forget. Sometimes we want to “do it on our own” but healthy relationships are the foundation upon which capable individuals are built.

“Beyond”

Purpose, meaning, spirit— these are some of the words used to describe our “beyond”. It’s intangible, existential, but nonetheless ever-present and integral to our personal development.

What is life coaching?

Generally speaking, a life coach helps people achieve defined goals through being empowered, guidance and accountability. People seek life coaches to aid in many areas of life such as with careers, career changes, relationships, and more existential issues such as spirituality and purpose.

Drawing on decades of experience as a licensed professional counselor, I’ve developed my own approach to life coaching I call the Gold Matrix. The basic idea is this — we are all made of gold (literally), that is to say, we all have innate unique value bestowed upon us since birth.

Gold can be uncovered— but you can’t do it alone.

I’m excited to join you on your journey, wherever that may be, and help you become the best version of the person you already are.

Testimonials

A True Leader

John got me to a place where I could legitimately lead people at work and home. Since John’s coaching me, I’ve tripled revenue in one business and doubled revenue in a new startup. This has been directly linked to my ability to lead myself and our team. Without John’s counsel this would not have been possible.

Empowered and Grateful

God knows what we need and when we need it – and John is one of those wonderful treasures for me. He taught me how to express myself through clear communication. He helped me to see that my emotions are a God-given thing and how to identify what I am feeling and the ‘why’ behind it. It means the world to me to hear him excited and cheering me on each time we talk. I look forward to continuing work with John as long as he will have me!

On the path to success

I always knew I was smart, I just had issues applying my talents. I had so many ideas, I didn’t know where to start. John helped me find ways to focus my energy into one or two rewarding areas of my life. It’s pretty awesome to see results and know that you had it in you all along.
