Jennifer-what you do is beyond inspiring and I am simply honored that I could help and be a part of a process that ultimately means so much to others! Thank you.

John has been instrumental in helping me in many ways. I have worked with a couple coaches in the past decade, and I really appreciate John’s approach.
First, he truly listens and seeks to understand the problem. I feel heard and understood every time we meet.
Second, he meets you right where you are at, yet also keeps the future in mind simultaneously and asks such good questions to keep me focused.
Thank you for your ongoing help and work. Glad our paths have crossed. More...

"I Knew I Needed Help...But I Almost Let Fear Win"

When I first found Bark, I knew things had to change. I wasn’t happy with my job, my confidence was low, my relationships were strained, and I felt I was approaching burnout.

I searched for coaches, found Bark and created a profile. I checked every box that applied to me:
• Career change
• Building confidence
• Improving relationships
• Leadership and executive coaching

And then...I froze. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to act and proceed, it was that I was simply unprepared and overwhelmed by the volume of emails, texts and calls from those willing to help. Perhaps I missed that when I created my profile, but it felt overwhelming and downright smothering and I started to wonder if I had made a mistake. I convinced myself I was too busy, that I’d figure it out later, or that maybe coaching wouldn’t help. But deep down, I was just scared to face it.

Then John reached out. His message wasn’t pushy—it was honest. He reminded me that our call would be like free coaching-so why not? I had already acknowledged where I was struggling and he helped me see and understand the cost of NOT taking action.

So... I booked the free call. That conversation changed everything. I stopped doubting myself, set new boundaries at work, and even started getting accolades from not only my direct reports, but my manager as well as a senior VP.

If you’ve checked those boxes and you’re still on the fence, ask yourself: How much will it cost you to stay exactly where you are?
Don’t let this be another missed opportunity. Take the call. More...

College degree in hand, graduating near the top of my class and reviewing several employment offers from highly regarded businesses, I was on track toward a highly successful career. But within a short period of time, I was miserable and struggling. My boss was unhappy with my performance; I was not well respected by my colleagues and I had very few friends. Work was not fun anymore.
Through sprkcoaching.com, John Carnes and I developed an amazing relationship. His ability to listen and guide via questions helped me identify areas of focus and opportunity. Our coaching helped me recharge and pivot. Having an accountability partner, that held space for me, allowed me to safely explore what was really important and then develop strategies and a fresh perspective that focused on actions and desired outcomes.
His persistence and ability to help me, has changed my life and renewed my passion and career. More...

John is a great guy to talk to. He truly listens with compassion and patience. He gives great feedback and is an excellent coach. I would recommend his coaching to anyone. More...
