Helping people discover patterns and unlock their potential.

With everything going on, many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like an imposter at work or in life. Or maybe, you’re thriving, but unsure about what’s next in your life and need some more clarity. Or… you’re somewhere in between and you’re not quite sure what’s going on.

I’m here to help!

Working with me is all about helping you figure out and reaching your goals.

I promise.

 

I coach utilizing a person-centered approach to help you figure out what’s going on, and how you can get to where you want to go. You set a destination and I’ll help you get there. And even though I love the idea of a self-driving car, you’ll be in the driver seat the entire time.

Individually, I use 1:1 conversations, to get clarity and set action goals. I sometimes bring in narratives, past stories, and experiences to help get some insight. I believe in figuring out what goes on at the person-level instead of just focusing on the performance issue. In teams, I work with the group to set a goal and figure out what the team as a whole needs in order to get there.

In either scenario, I’ll occasionally make observations, ask questions, and provoke deep thinking. I firmly believe we have all the answers we need within us. And I’m here to help you find them.

 

Because I’m certified by Gallup and the Myers Briggs™ company, I can incorporate assessments like Strengths, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, or the Hogan assessments.

Of course, because you’re driving the entire time, I will never push these things - coaching shouldn’t feel like a sales pitch. It should feel like you are finding the best version of yourself.

Testimonials

Feedback from some amazing clients:

“John not only helped me tackle the problems that kept me from being assertive in my new leadership role at work but helped me find my own pervasive bad habits that kept me from running the narrative I wanted for my future self.

He supported me in confronting my inner obstacles and after every session, he gave me a goal or exercise to do so I could determine for myself my own problematic patterns, and gave actionable ways for me to overcome such obstacles.

I was letting my stress or anxiety run my career interactions at one point or another and with his help I felt like I could notice and control my outcomes a lot better during those instances. Overall, he strove to help me achieve a better me and that was completely and utterly needed to grow past my inner roadblocks and achieve success.”

“I decided to work with John during an extended period of unemployment. My ideas for next steps at the time were very muddled, and in hindsight I realize now just how detrimental that was to moving forward.

He provided ample space for me to talk through my goals, using my own words back to me to keep me from talking myself in circles. A few months after our first session, I now have a clear idea of what I want from my next professional venture (and why I want it)!

Since first meeting with John, I've turned down two offers that weren't great fits, took on a stimulating consulting project, and have landed an interview for an exciting role at a dream company! I feel much better equipped to articulate my needs to future clients and employers, as well as where to draw my boundaries for what I'm willing to take on. I highly recommend working with John - especially if you need some help finding some direction and moving full speed ahead!!”
