I don’t help you get what you want. I help you get YOU, then you get what you want.
John Guanci
Hi, I’m John. I’m glad you’re here.
You’ve built a life that works on the outside — career, business, family, reputation. You’ve carried a lot and taken responsibility in ways most people never see.
I know that world well. Before coaching, I co-owned and helped run my family’s business for over a decade. It looked like success, but inside I felt restless and disconnected.
I feared walking away from something stable, yet staying felt even worse.
Eventually, I realized I wasn’t living my life anymore. That moment changed everything.
I Work With People Who Are Ready for Their Own Turning Point
My clients aren’t broken.
They’re accomplished, thoughtful, high-performing individuals who’ve hit an internal threshold.
They’ve built strong, successful lives. But something feels off — a restlessness, a tightening, a sense that they’re meant to live differently.
They’re tired of carrying everything alone.
Tired of relying on pressure and self-judgment.
Tired of feeling like they “should” be happier than they are.
What they want is clarity, steadiness, presence, and a life that finally feels like theirs.
What I Believe About This Work
You don’t need more strategies.
You don’t need new tactics or productivity tricks.
You need space.
You need honesty.
You need someone who sees the truth beneath the surface.
My work is helping you return to yourself — the version of you that leads with calm, depth, and grounded strength rather than fear or proving.
When that version comes forward, everything shifts: your decisions, your relationships, your sense of inner stability.
How I Work
My style is simple and direct.
No rush. No performance. No pretending.
I help you slow down enough to see what’s real, let go of what isn’t, and build a life that feels aligned from the inside out.
People describe the work as grounded, honest, challenging in the right ways, and deeply human.
Not flashy. Not complicated. Just real.
Why This Matters to Me
I know what it’s like to have a life that looks good while feeling unsettled on the inside.
I know the pressure of being the one others rely on.
And I know the relief that comes when you finally tell the truth about what you want next.
My life didn’t change because I pushed harder.
It changed because I became more honest, more present, and more myself.
That’s the shift I help my clients make.
If Something in You Is Stirring, Trust It
You don’t need to have the perfect words.
You don’t need to be “ready.”
You just need to be willing to take the next honest step.
If you want to explore working together, reach out.
No pressure. Just a real conversation.
A Few Things That Matter to Me:
✅ You’re self-reflective.
✅ You’re tough, life-tested, and open to growth.
✅ You have a good heart (or at least the desire to open it again).
✅ You want to live, lead, and love fearlessly.
✅ And you don’t take yourself too seriously. We’ll laugh along the way.
