Business & Career Coaching
Before I met John, I was on the verge of walking away from a project that I had invested in for 3 years. I struggled to get my coaching business off the ground.
I lost all motivation and passion and believed that it just wasn't meant to be. I was ready to quit.
I decided to give it one last shot and challenged myself to seek the support of a coach and I'm so happy I did. In our first discussion, I instantly knew I wanted to work with John. He created a completely safe space for me to share the dream I was ready to walk away from. In that conversation, John not only saw my vision but truly understood how important my contribution is to this world. I immediately walked away with clarity and excitement to see my coaching business come back to life.
Not only did I launch my coaching business with John's support, but I also exceeded my expectations. John's coaching tapped into the "go-getter" part of me that laid dormant for so long. He has helped me stay focused, accountable, and motivated. The progress and growth that I have made will continue through my journey as a coach and I'm excited for the next chapter in my life. I could not have done it without John's support.
It's been a pleasure working with John and I highly recommend his services.

Life Changing is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about John. At a time when I felt my career prospects were few and far between, I enlisted John’s services as a career coach.
In working with John, I discovered the sky (and beyond) was the actual limit regarding what I could accomplish. John possesses the natural talents of both a Career Coach and Mentor. John creates this safe space where you find the answers to your questions all on your own - he is a conduit to self-reflection and personal growth. Often our sessions were, me wondering how he was consistently able to get me to find the solutions to my own career obstacles. Through weekly sessions complete with self-reflection exercises and homework, I have been able to realize my own potential and abilities to create a brand that best represents my authentic self.
John would be a true asset to any individual or organization in need of accelerating development and/or expanding opportunities, and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.

I had the opportunity to be coached by John. Thanks to his ability to ask powerful questions, I manage to find the solutions and answers by myself.
I would recommend him without a doubt for any professional coaching. Thank you John!

If you're feeling stuck, get a "Bowman Button"! What's that you ask? It's going to be a powerful question he asks you at some point in your coaching, that will stay in your mind. Whenever I find myself hesitating or doubting myself, I press my "Bowman Button". I hear John's voice in my brain and suddenly I remember, I got this! John is the kind of motivational coach anyone can benefit from. Highly recommended! More...

John has great instincts when it comes to coaching, he is a skilled listener and is able to asking thought provoking questions that help you to get to the root of a problem. I have worked with John for several sessions and he has always been effective in getting me to a concrete action that has allowed me to overcome several challenges that I was facing. I highly recommend John for anyone looking for a coach. More...

John helped me at a time when I needed someone most. He helped me create a plan that took me from being broke and lacking direction to being a goal-oriented, motivated, successful entrepreneur. If it wasn't for John I don't know where I'd be. He is caring and gifted at helping facilitate growth. More...

John Bowman is an outstanding, one of a kind coach! He genuinely cared about helping me find focus, clarity and confidence.
Through concentrated, thoughtful questions John helped me unravel the stories I was telling myself about what is and isn’t possible being over 50 years old.
The result: I am pursuing a career in HR management and I’ve reconnected with friends and family, finding support systems I didn’t believe I had!
I am so grateful to John for this amazing, invaluable experience!

What do you love most about your job?
The best part of being a coach is helping people achieve the goals that are truly important to them.
I believe in the potential, resourcefulness, creativity, and value in every single person. My job is to help people see and access those resources, figure out what is really important to them, and take action towards those goals and aspirations. My clients' success is my success!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have started numerous businesses over the years. It has offered me the opportunity to pursue my passions, and to express my creativity and values through my work.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Coaching is a process that involves discussion and reflection. As such, it lends itself well to the remote environment, whether it be over the phone or by video call. That has allowed me to work with clients living all across North and South America, in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. In fact, some of my clients' most important breakthroughs have happened during audio-only sessions.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
The large majority of my coaching now occurs remotely.
