Executive & Personal Coaching
Coach Jake works with ambitious individuals, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders who are ready to embark on a new direction in their business or personal endeavors. He specializes in helping men and women who are experiencing dilemmas or uncertainty make and navigate their most pressing choices.
Coach Jake’s eye is always on helping his clients move forward with integrity, respect, and purposefulness. His work is built on the concept that every moment is an opportunity to learn and that experimentation is an integral part of the learning and accomplishment process. Choosing to work with Coach Jake is making the choice to learn, take risks, and move forward with purposeful velocity.
Coach Jake works with clients on making short-term, immediate choices and on an ongoing basis. While his intention is that his clients are capable of directing their own development without ongoing support, many of his clients work with him on an ongoing basis - often for years.
Coach Jake’s executive and personal clients have elevated and transformed a business on the brink of financial collapse, earned a promotion to VP within a major international financial company, developed and published an ongoing podcast, launched a communications consultancy, and more.

“While I had worked with coaches before, Coach Jake proved himself to be totally unique within the first 45 minutes of our very first session. And from there, he only got better. Jake helped me totally change how I interviewed, approached career challenges, and looked at job opportunities, and within a month of starting with him I got a job.”

“Working with Coach Jake is in one word: Fantastic. He is an attentive listener who was able to rapidly digest the information I delivered to him. I've worked with a variety of coaches and counselors now who have each had their own insights to give, but I feel as though Jake has been the all-around best due to his sharp insights and flexibility in figuring out what method was more effective for me.”

What is coaching?
Coaching is a learning modality to help you create solutions to the problems, challenges, and opportunities you face.
It is, in large part, made up goal setting, learning, and accountability. It is a combination of action and reflection that helps you learn and create new results. It is focused on forward movement, making purposeful choices, and getting where you want to go. Throughout your coaching journey, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your development opportunities, how you see the world, and how to make your largest impact.
“Coaching is all about learning - learning about yourself, your choices, your results, and how you can choose differently to create something new for you and the people and communities around you.”
- Coach Jake
Coach Jake’s Philosophy
Learning is a cycle made up of action and reflection.
Work on the hard stuff. Stretch. Be uncomfortable. Grow. And do it all with purpose.
The lens you look at the world through determines the results you create and the legacy you leave.
Noticing is the first step towards development and growth.
Focus on WHO you want to BE - not WHAT you want to ACCOMPLISH. Accomplishments are born out of identity.
Meet people where they are. They cannot and will not always be where you want them to be.
Life is not a gently running stream. Life is a turbulent storm upon a mighty sea. And even turbulent storms are beautiful.
Pay attention to your thoughts and language. They reveal more about what's beneath the surface than almost anything else.
Know your capacity. Your performance depends on myriad factors, including how much you ate, how much you slept, whether you've gone outside, how much emotional resilience you have, and much more.
To create maximum impact, you must develop the whole; it is tempting to focus solely on external development, but internal development is what ultimately leads to radically different results.
Own your choices: both the successes and the mistakes. You will not be perfect, and that's okay. The only true mistake is not taking responsibility for your decisions and their impact.
Trust yourself. If something crosses your mind: do something about it. If you think of someone: reach out. If you think of sharing something with someone: share. If you realize you love someone: tell them.
