John Jenkins is one of the most genuine, caring, real, hard working family man I know. I have personally seen John go from the top to the bottom to the top again and endure more than most could imagine, but never give up. He has never let a situation or circumstance defeat him or detour him from his mission or stop him from accomplishing his goals. He is a great example of faithful perseverance and walks knowing that it’s not always what it looks like outside when you’re being worked on from the inside out. It’s an honor to call him friend.

Working with John has been a privilege. He has helped me through some challenges that I was facing in my relationship with my girlfriend in showing me another outlook.
Things now between my girlfriend and I are wonderful because of his insight and suggestions on adjustment.
I would recommend anyone using John’s services to prepare for him to pour his wealth of knowledge, experiences and passion into you.

Working with John is like working a new job daily. Mr. Jenkins is one of the most positive people I have ever met.
John on a daily basis, shared his knowledge on several topics.
He encouraged up to step out on faith and chase our dreams.
His past present and future success made it easy to understand and trust his knowledge.
Getting to know John has been my complete pleasure.

What do you love most about your job?
The best thing about being a Life & Business Coach is that I have the opportunity to be a part of a persons life in such a powerful way. I think with being a counselor, you can build such strong relationships. I think the most valuable aspect of being a counselor is having the opportunity to just be there for someone and to listen. Sometimes that sounds so simple but can be so powerful for an individual to be heard and feel valued.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My inspiration stems from my father who has been a Pastor for over 56 years. I saw the need of the less fortunate, broken spirited, toxic relationships and knew I had a calling to follow my purpose in life by bringing the tools that God gave me to heal through techniques, exercises and processes that would help one have the most meaningful life one deserves.
Why should our clients choose you?
You should choose me because I care about you. I care about every client. Because I am independent I can get more personal with you. You will also get more from me. I will pour out my help to you through all of the training, life experiences bad and good, accomplishments & failures that you can relate to in order to prepare you for your journey. I will equip you with tools on day one that will allow progress in your walk of life. The goal is not to need me but to rely upon yourself after you have identified the challenges and equipped yourself with the tools and follow out the process that will lead to your success.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Absolutely! I would love to accommodate you in anyway it makes you feel more comfortable.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We have reduced our face to fsce by 50% as well as increase mask and sanitizer use during and if any fsce to face appointments are requested.
"EmpowerTeen: Building Confidence and Skills for Life"
Our Teen Coaching program is designed to help young individuals aged 11-18 build confidence, navigate social challenges, and develop strong communication skills. Divided into two age-specific groups (11-14 and 15-18), this program addresses critical topics such as self-esteem, body image, social skills, and effective communication. For early teens, coaching focuses on helping them form a positive identity, handle peer pressure, and lay the groundwork for essential life skills. For older teens, we build on these foundations with advanced strategies for navigating relationships, preparing for independence, and honing interpersonal abilities. With a personalized and supportive approach, this program empowers teens to thrive in every area of their lives while equipping them with tools to face the future with confidence and resilience.
