Tre - Mount Vernon, IA
I was seeking coaching to help with mental clarity, self-confidence, developing routines, and finding inner peace. Working with John-Michael gave me a platform of communication with someone I trusted to talk to.
Our sessions helped me slow down and understand my inner workings.
Through the coaching process, I learned how to take autonomy and understand what it means to be a leader. I have a new understanding of what it means to be under control.
John-Michael never gave up on me and continued to work with me through everything. I now feel like I have the ability to achieve everything I've wanted and set out to accomplish.
The most helpful aspect of John-Michael's coaching approach is his patience. He does not get frustrated or try and rush the process and having that peace was exactly what I needed to help calm the storm within my own psyche.
John-Michael helped me find my own way towards peace, helping me understand what that walk could look like and giving me an example of where I could go, which I will forever be grateful for.
What sets him apart is his ability to reach people on a personal 1-to-1 level and make every interaction unique and beneficial, adapting to whatever that person needs. I definitely suggest that others seek him out.

Before meeting John-Michael I used to never think I was good enough at anything in life. I used to that everyone was better than me!
But once I started the coaching sessions with him he completely flipped my life around. My confidence grew, I was so much happier and felt like any situation I was in, I could handle to my fullest potential.
The biggest thing I gained from the coaching process is the life skills that I have implemented and still use to this day. All the techniques and guidance working with John-Michael have opened up my life in ways I didn't think was possible.
John-Michael is one of a kind. He will be there to listen to you and won't shun you out. He is so welcoming to everyone and will provide you with the best path possible.
I 100% would recommend his coaching to anybody out there who needs some guidance and help with life.

My biggest issue was my fear of failure and imposter syndrome.
After months of working on it along side John-Michael, I was able to overcome these mental roadblocks and found the peace and freedom I was missing from my life.
We talked through what I was doing at the time to help with the issues, what we thought worked well and what didn't, what he thought I should work on/implement, and most importantly was how to implement such things.
Rome didn't fall in a day and making a change to the brain is no different, it takes time.
My biggest takeaway that I still very actively practice to this day is the idea of mindfulness. With this comes daily 5-10 minute meditation sessions. These truly have changed my life and I fear where I'd be mentally had I not met John-Michael.
I can't express enough how much this man has done for me and I am positive will do for you as well.
John-Michael carries many great coaching traits. He's hard working, determined, honest and kind. But, I think the most valuable trait of his is his willingness to never give up on anyone.
Whether it was hour long walks where we'd chat about life and where my head was at or texting me excerpts from books and articles way into the night because he researched/found something that he thought would help me.
He was always available and really did make me feel like I mattered and that I could get better. I highly recommend his coaching services!

I was seeking out coaching during a time of stress and uncertainty.
I was having some trouble navigating life and wasn’t sure who to talk to about it. John-Michael ended up being just what I needed.
He lended a helping hand when I needed it most and after completing many sessions with him, I was able to find some peace. He helped me grow and mature as an adult.
My favorite part of his coaching style is that he is never one to judge. He’s very down to earth and understanding whenever you talk to him. He is a very genuine person and a great coach to have in your corner.

I wanted to learn about a way to improve my mindset, which is why I started to seek coaching.
I often found that I beat myself down in bad situations, which led to lack of confidence in, resulting in things spiraling out of control.
Also, I often found myself stressed out to a point where I couldn't focus on anything else.
Through his coaching, I was able to put my mind at ease, which allowed me to perform better. He reminded me that I am here for a reason, and that I have all the tools to have success, and all I needed to do was believe in what I have.
He offered me new skills to calm down, such as focusing on breathing for a few minutes and planning out my day to avoid being overwhelmed by work.
After I started getting coaching, it was apparent how the coaching helped in my everyday life. I felt that I had created more healthy habits, like planning out a schedule so I don't need to stress about getting it done.
Most importantly, I noticed how my mindset shifted from being scared to make mistakes to embracing them and learning from them, while enjoying these moments.
What I appreciated most about his coaching was how easy it was to talk to him. He understands how everyone is going through something, and wants to be another set of ears for you to talk to in order to find a way to help.
Even years after I received coaching, I still find myself utilizing some of the tools that he had given me, so I am thankful for the lasting impact he has given me to help lead a healthier, happier life.
Harrison - Birmingham, AL
I started seeking coaching after 2 semesters of pretty bad grades and not having a healthy internal drive. I needed someone to help me stop my bad habits and turn them into good ones.
Before starting the coaching sessions my main area of focus was on my academics and getting good grades. I needed to get and stay motivated through the school year.
The coaching sessions helped me out in several ways. They kept me accountable, allowed me to communicate my thoughts and feelings on different aspects of my life, helped me discover that my main issue wasn't actually my academics but rather my mental and physical health and lack of confidence.
John-Michael gave me a new outlook on aspects of my life that I wasn't originally seeing. He helped me work towards completing and expanding my goals every week with new techniques, strategies, and exercises.
The biggest change after the coaching program was my self-confidence. I have become much more confident and feel better in my own body. Even though I have lost significant weight and look much better physically, the mental side of myself is what I believe to be the biggest transformation.
Internally I have more self-confidence, my mind is much clearer, and it feels like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders because I have begun to feel good about myself. Externally, I have lost 90 pounds in 6 months, I am consistently going to the gym and have a meal plan set for myself.
Since I am more of a visual learner, he encouraged me to use a calendar and different forms of reminding me to do things like sticky notes. So now I have a calendar I use for the month and I write important things on sticky notes and hang them in places I pass often. So not only is it my physical health externally, but also my habits have become much healthier.
Something I like about coaching is that it is like talking to a friend who is just asking deep and challenging questions. I enjoyed all my sessions and we had plenty of laughs on the calls, but we also made progress. Another thing I liked about working with John-Michael is that he was always on my side.
When I did something good or productive we were happy and celebrated and when I didn't have a great week he would reassure me and say that we were in this together. It was really nice having someone constantly rooting for you to strive and knowing you have someone you can talk to.
The biggest thing I gained from the coaching process was all the strategies I was taught and the good habits I learned and adapted too.
I absolutely recommend John-Michael to have you as your coach. He is an amazing person to talk to because he is very friendly, funny, and always positive. He uses techniques to help reprogram your brain to do healthier things. He has a great format for setting goals and a good process to accomplish them. He never oversteps, for example if you don't want to talk about something he won't go near it.
He has made a massive impact in my life and sparked a new way of life for me. I heavily recommend John-Michael and the way he goes about the coaching process.
Tony - Grayslake, IL
The main areas that we focused on were improving my mental fortitude by improving and adding new strategies for anxiety relief and general techniques to improve my outlook on life.
The training was extremely successful as I am now able to use the techniques and training whenever needed and they’ve been very beneficial in all facets of every day life. I am now a much less anxious and much less of a mental head case.
Internally I am much more at peace and I am able to live a better happier life.
I would absolutely recommend this training to others. I had my eyes opened to new ways of thinking and new techniques that I never would’ve found without the training and they have been unbelievably beneficial.
I never would’ve gotten to this mental headspace without the training.
Julian - Chicago, IL
In my early years of life, I struggled with a high level of anxiety. Often times, this anxiety was so intense I would have physical reactions to it, such as shaking.
I wanted to find a way to control my thoughts, calm my anxiety, and get back to having fun in my life.
John-Michael focused on two main areas when aiding me with my issue. The first was simple methods to slow one’s thoughts and heart rate. The second, which proved even more valuable and meaningful to me, was reconnecting me to the sources of joy in my life.
He helped me remind myself that my life contained opportunities for connection and relationship and it massively changed my outlook on my situation.
With all these methods in place, I saw a night and day transformation from before. My anxiety was greatly minimized, I felt no stress, and was far beyond joyous for the blessings and opportunities that I had around me.
Furthermore, I no longer had any physical effects from the anxiety. Whereas before I would have slight tremors in my hands, or a pit in my stomach, I now was calm, collected, and ready to perform.
In just a few meetings with John-Michael, I noticed a massive difference in the tactics I deploy in stressful situations.
John-Michael is a kind, compassionate, and devoted man. Between his character, and his ability to help people that I have witnessed firsthand, I recommend John-Michael as a fantastic individual to seek aid in achieving whatever goal you set forth.
