JASON
My story reads like an adventure that landed me happily married and gainfully employed in Hawaii after roles at major companies, national nonprofits, and edgy startups. Of course that version omits the uncertainty, self-doubt, and personal demons I struggled with along the way. It’s been a nuanced journey of highs, lows, reflections, and resilience – all still in progress. That’s the beauty of it.
While driving home from work as a milestone birthday approached, I found myself reflecting on what I wanted from life, professionally and personally. I kept returning to the relationships I’ve most treasured over the years. I realized that the best part of my days – spent with family, friends, or coworkers – involved that same type of journey: going deep, dissecting a problem or opportunity, and working together toward goals and growth.
That was my ah-ha moment: I’d been coaching my entire life. And I loved it.
With my new North Star, I formalized my coaching practice and earned certifications to supplement my decades of hands-on, learned experience. I now partner with clients – in individual and corporate settings – to reach those ah-ha moments and fuel personal transformations in success, balance, fulfillment, and wellbeing.
COACHING
Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
More than a barometer for optimism, our answers to this age-old question – when applied to our perception of ourselves, our lives, and the world around us – can indicate a desire or need for change.
Perhaps you need to heal from something, reclaim your life, forgive someone, or (even harder) forgive yourself. Maybe you’re ready for a major pivot or just seeking something more, but not sure what that is or how to start.
VISION
I strongly believe in nature’s power to inspire new levels of introspection for people who take the time to seek out those sacred spaces. There’s something about logging off email, setting the phone aside, and simply saying “not now” to the distractions that continually bombard us. One day can make a difference.
Hike Your Own Path celebrates that opportunity as an immersive experience for folks in Hawaii – as residents, on vacation, or for work. I’ll join as your coach and guide for an all-day, active journey where we’ll harness the stunning beauty of the islands as a backdrop for radical self-exploration and personal growth.
