John ran the Ironman in 2011 (swim 2.4 / bike 112 / run 26.2). Actually, he has done three of them. What he likes so much about them is the challenge. He likes to push himself further than he ever thought he could go. And this is a guy that has gone the distance. What started out as a full career in healthcare, took a dramatic turn when he decided to attend law school while having a family. Today, John is a professional coach that supports attorneys in building a business, not just a practice. He is a master at shifting thinking for his clients. He is a teacher.
If John were giving a Ted talk, he would focus on the limitless potential that we have as human beings and the ability to get past discomfort to explore what is out there. The only thing that stands in our way is ourselves. And he should know, as someone who has broken through to get and stay in his zone of genius.
John works with clients on everything from long-term strategy to short-term marketing, to self-management. Anything is possible but it’s a matter of taking big ideas and breaking it down into manageable chunks. Even the best athletes need a coach and a coach has a role to play in driving accountability. A coach holds the mirror up to reflect your behavior. The introspection and path forward is already inside of you. A coach like John helps bring it out and organize it.
John typically works with clients for three months consistently and then moves to every other week to maintain the plan ahead.
John is in his third career as an adult. Want to know why?
- John’s #1 core value is service.
- His #2 is a success.
- His #3 is adventure.
John’s journey is driven by the adventure. He says, “It is a great, big, beautiful, wide-open world and I want to see what’s in it.” So many people don’t take the first step. John helps his clients do that and we’re grateful for his contribution to helping individuals do more than they ever thought possible.
In this Freedom Speaker Series episode with John, you will learn:
- How to work back from your “someday” to achieve what is possible.
- Why coaching is not naturally embraced in services like law.
- How fear and change can be overcome by taking that next step.
- How our story about ourselves can accelerate or slow us down.
We are fortunate to have John available to spend time with us on this edition of Stride 2 Freedom. If there is a speaker you’d like us to interview, let us know. Stay well. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
