Introducing the Life by John Blog!

Welcome to the absolutely brand new Life by John blog! Having been wanting to make a blog for quite some time, I’ve finally gotten around (i.e. the wife motivated me) to setting one up and preparing a list of great topics of value that I believe clients and readers alike can benefit from. You will never receive spam or advertisements or anything that isn’t of value – rather, this is yet another way in which I feel I can contribute in a positive way to others, and to the coaching community. Not every blog post will relate to coaching, but most will, and it’s my hope that you personally will truly get something out of these entries.

I also hope you will be a part of this journey too! Every blog post will be open to comments, so feel free to share your thoughts and contribute to the discussion. I value your input and would love to hear what’s on your heart!

Well that’s it, thanks for reading and being a part of this new venture with me, and we’ll see you on the internets! :-)
