Case Study:
John Bohlen, General Manager, Senior Living Operations
John guided me through a major career change and he continues to help me with leadership tactics and approaches to think about things from a neutral standpoint. John helped me get out of my head and see things from different perspectives.
I went from a major corporation to a small startup and that has required a different version of my own thoughts. Without John’s guidance, I am not so sure I would last in the sometimes ambiguous world of working for a startup venture.
I don't feel as though my words accurately describe how helpful John has been in my journey. He has been amazingly helpful in helping me be a better leader and person.
What Coaching Involves
Coaching can be both compassionate and challenging. But it is not therapy. It involves understanding your situation, setting an actionable plan in place and harnessing the strengths you already have to develop new ones.
- Understanding the challenges and opportunities you are facing
- Setting tangible goals and accountability
- Assessing progress and adjusting as required
- Follow-up and support

Matthew Rezac
Matthew Rezac helps mission-driven professionals use mindfulness to navigate their biggest challenges. He supports clients in three primary ways. The first is developing "real time" mindfulness hacks that improve in-the-moment choices, communication, and personal wellbeing. The second is discerning wise action at major "crossroads moments" personally and professionally. The third is helping to illuminate habits of thought and action that create "internal glass ceilings" on long-term success and fulfillment.
Case Study:
Chris Bohlen, Raven Industries
Like a lot of people during COVID, I really felt like I was in a professional rut. I had worked in advertising my entire professional career and knew I needed a change. I was encouraged to have a conversation with John. I knew If I were going to make a change, it really needed to be meaningful.
We explored career options, but more importantly, John helped me find clarity. We determined the things that are important to me professionally and found out where they overlay my personal life.
John cares. He will never tell you what to do, but he will certainly assist in asking questions that can sometimes be tough and not so pleasant. John always says he is holding up a mirror to get the most honest authentic answers possible.
I couldn't be happier. I still enjoy checking in with John as a totally unbiased opinion on the obstacles that come up in my current role.
Case Study:
Alex Mayer – Division of Child Support, Department of Social Services
John is a gifted coach and a talented professional! He is thoughtful, helpful, and committed to your development. As a Special Operations veteran, I found my transition out of the military challenging. After working with John, I was able to gain clarity, confirmation, and certainty about where I was at and where I was headed both personally and professionally.
I have appreciated John’s approach in helping and guiding me towards the discovery. Thanks to John’s help, I have overcome challenges that were stifling my development, and I have experienced incredible growth as a leader, colleague, and friend as a result.
