"𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻" - I live by these words.

My life has taught me three important things:

1.  We engage with the world through our Mindspace. So, guard it.
2. We have the ability to co-create our reality. Choose wisely.
3. Everything Is Figureoutable. Just go with the flow.

These foundational insights have been the compass guiding me through 5+ diverse career landscapes, from medicine to research to goldsmithing to corporate leadership including landing a $3M seed fund for the company I worked for when I knew next to nothing about pitching. Not to forget my latest transition to a full-time coach consultant. 

In addition to the personal challenges of marrying young, losing multiple pregnancies, overcoming ~3 years of physical disability... these are the experiences that make me the person that I am today.

And, in the face of adversity, I have learned to find strength in unconditional acceptance of all that life presents.

Over the years, I've also learned to 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 in a world that feels mostly out of control, primarily by...

→  Consciously curating my Mindspace 
→  Separating Expectations from the Emotions.
→  Embracing fluid systems that provide Control & Clarity. 

Now, I help others navigate their paths with what I've learned.

In my work with my clients, I have helped high-impact professionals & entrepreneurs to…

→  Become Master Managers of their Mindspaces. 
→  Embody calmness in stressful environments
→  Create adaptable systems & workflows
→  Navigate challenges with Confidence
→  Become a Master Communicator
→  Become Mindfully Productive
→  Get Intentionally Organized
→  Embrace Resilience

And, all of this revolves around the exploration of our true self. 

That is why, I said "True Self-Empowerment starts from within" 

This journey of mine? It's taught me that.   

And, through coaching, I hope to help others create a peaceful internal landscape along with a productive and organized external environment. 

And, 𝗜𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 that consciously transitions to 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 

As a multi-passionate entrepreneur, I share my thoughts on Business Planning, Mindful Productivity and Personal Growth.

If you're ready to take control of your personal & professional life and show up as a calm, clear, composed, and confident leader, let's talk.

Staff Auditor

President-JohnWServices LLC ^CFO ^Management Consulting/Collaboration^Strategic Planning ^Financial System Design

Am passionate about working with small to medium sized businesses to resolve problems.  And that passion creates the energy to begin a new endeavor, JohnWServices, LLC.  

My career has spanned a number of years with multiple businesses.  Primarily, I have worked with mid-size companies in regulated industries. Although most of those years were connected to community banks, I was fortunate to work in gaming, securities, insurance and consulting. 

Building teams and developing problem solving strategies is the common denominator.  Early in my career, I discovered that I could not do everything myself.  That realization led me to adopt delegation.  The result was the pleasure of helping others grow and succeed through their hard work and ingenuity.  If you are a leader, this is the goal.

As an executive, your perspective shifts as you work with the Directors and owners as well as staff.  Collaboration is critical to successful relationships at this level.  I learned to listen closely and read between the lines while helping to lead the organizations.

Developing strategies that meet the needs of multiple constituencies is a complex process.  It is more complex in regulated industries where the regulators are also an important stakeholder.  I have negotiated these treacherous waters on multiple occasions.  Many times it is a balancing act with compromise as the only viable solution. 

Telling the story is essential to finding common ground.  Too many times opinions are based upon incomplete information.  My job in many cases was to explain the company’s story in comprehensible ways to each of my constituencies.  Financial statements serve as a basis for the story. Explaining the “numbers” in terms of performance and what they mean for the future is the greater challenge. I have often described my CFO role as “a storyteller.”
