If you’re like most law firm partners, you may be a sub-par leader.

You're not alone; legal training naturally decreases a person’s leadership quotient. 

If you're stressed and tired of:

❌ Constantly questioning your ability to lead others and feeling like an imposter?
❌ Doubting your capacity to take your law practice to the next level because you can’t get your team to help achieve your goals?
❌ Serving others and ignoring yourself, burning out and being unhealthy? 
❌ Running on a hamster wheel and never seeming to move closer to the future you want? 

I 👀 you. I practiced law for 24 years, managing a firm for 16. I get it! I figured out there’s a better way to practice law and live; I’ve dedicated myself to serving law partners like you.

I empower lawyers to:

🛠️Reengineer their systems for effective leadership, development, time mastery, and improved work-life balance.
🧠 Rewire their mindsets and abandon disruptive beliefs like  “I've got to do it all, but there's no time.”
🏆 Redefine their legacy to become something greater than just an outstanding attorney who worked a lot.

My coaching is only for a select few "accomplished seekers." I may be right for you if:

✅ You are a great lawyer.
✅ You feel stuck and fear losing the edge of high performance and goal achievement.
✅ You believe what got you “here” won’t get you to your next level of success.
✅ You’re willing to take bold and decisive action without 100% certainty.

The results of my  RISE Coaching Framework™:
• Discover your "operating system" and increase the quality of decision making, communication, and leadership.💡
• Generate an individualized leadership formula so you achieve true freedom of choice, 5x your performance, and banish distractions. 📈
• Create a plan to make the future you want inevitable. 🚀
• Evolve and realize your potential as a leader and a human being, and optimize your life. 🌟
• Become burnout-proof, master time, ⬆️ productivity 500% and no longer grind. ✨

My clients say:
 
“We partnered together in a way that allowed me to tap into the vision and passion that had been missing after several big setbacks for me and my firm.”

“John listens, engages and challenges. He moved the needle in a measurable way. I learned the habits, mindset and reactions that were holding me back. He worked with me to find solutions to these barriers and develop plans of action.”

If you’re ready to become a phenomenal leader, achieve your full potential, master your time, and reclaim your life, DM me.

As a Co-Founder & General Partner of HELLA Ventures, I honed my expertise in early-stage investments, focusing on companies offering innovative products and services to the industrial space. This experience laid the groundwork for my current role as Co-Founder & General Partner at Essentia Ventures. At Essentia, we've expanded upon the successful strategy of HELLA Ventures, targeting early-stage investments in the industrial and physical industries. This evolution represents a strategic continuation and amplification of the investment philosophy that propelled HELLA Ventures, now broadened to encompass a wider industrial spectrum.

Essentia Ventures builds upon the proven foundation of HELLA Ventures, leveraging my extensive experience from both the traditional automotive sector and Silicon Valley's vibrant startup ecosystem. This unique blend enables us to maximize value creation, now augmented by a significantly enhanced team. I am thrilled to build Essentia with Jordan Greene, Steven Hong and Frank Huber. Frank Huber, a top management executive with a deep understanding of industry dynamics. Jordan and Steven, two founders who have successfully exited their companies, bringing invaluable entrepreneurial insights. Additionally, the professionalism and strategic vision of a former Kleiner Perkins partner infuse Essentia Ventures with a rich blend of experience and acumen.

At Essentia Ventures, we embody a philosophy of active engagement, supporting our portfolio companies in key areas like Go-To-Market strategies and industrialization. Our mission is to drive financial returns while fostering industry advancement and innovation, creating a symbiotic ecosystem where startups and investors alike thrive. The essence of our approach is not just to invest but to nurture and grow, ensuring that each investment contributes meaningfully to the evolution of the industries we serve.
