Executive Coach for Resilience and Adaptability
John Christy, PCC CPCC
Executive & Leadership Coaching with a First Responder Edge
In my three-decade-long career as a first responder in San Francisco, I've mastered the art of swift judgment in emergencies, spearheaded teams in crises, and championed well-being in a high-intensity profession. With an unwavering commitment and integrity, I've stood by our heroes during their rigorous duties and afterward. Now, I fuse this wealth of experience with my executive coaching to benefit leaders like you.
About My Coaching Style: As your Executive Coach, I act as both your fierce advocate and a candid guide. I see beyond today, focusing on the leader you are evolving into and the impactful vision you aim to realize. Leadership is rife with responsibilities, pressures, and infinite opportunities. Let me be your anchor, bolstering your broader vision and pushing boundaries with you to make it a reality.

Executive & Leadership Coaching
I coach Executives and Rising Leaders who are looking for a coach to partner within service of stretching toward the next level of their career and lives.
Workshops
I facilitate workshops for both corporate clients and first responders on topics around resiliency, presence, leadership, and wellbeing.
Executive & Leadership Coach
I enjoy working with executives and leaders who have found some success and are now in a place where they want to "up their game." They are looking to improve on what's already working for them and really reach for the next stretch or level for themselves. Together we get behind the scenes, explore some big questions, and get the big picture about where they are heading. We integrate this new awareness of their strengths, values, and opportunities with their day-to-day activities. We move the coaching from just a nice conversation to an applicable experience that elevates their daily interactions moving forward.
I work with Executives and Rising Leaders on topics ranging from their presence as a leader, their impact on others, setting bigger and better goals, challenges personally and at their work, imposter syndrome, and use a strength based approach to champion them and challenge them in service of who they are growing to be.
Let's connect to see if we can do some exciting work together. If you are interested in learning more about coaching with me, you can reach out via my Contact form, and I'll schedule a short phone call for us to connect. Suppose we decide we are a good fit to work together. In that case, you can either work with me individually outside of your company, or we can be in touch with your company about coaching through their development programs and benefits.
I love working with my corporate clients and bringing my years of experience in the first responder world to their corporate world. The intensity of my work as a first responder brings knowledge, tools, and new perspectives to my work with Executives and to look at the challenges and opportunities they face. Get in touch, and let's talk about your goals, presence, struggles, and what this next level of leadership might hold for you.
- Co-Active Coaching
The Co-Active Coaching Method
Co-Active Coaching is an experience of personal and professional development unlike other kinds of coaching. Based on the Co-Active Model, it begins by holding the coachee as naturally creative, resourceful, and whole, and completely capable of finding their own answers to whatever challenges they face. The job of a Co-Active Coach is to ask powerful questions, listen and empower to elicit the skills and creativity a client already possesses, rather than instruct or advise.
Often what is missing in the conversation is how to adapt to an ever-changing world without feeling overwhelmed. How can you build an inner resource that is adaptive to changing circumstances? We must learn to accept that we are often faced with circumstances beyond our awareness to understand… much less navigate.
Instead of looking for our outward circumstances to look familiar or somehow find someone that can 'tell us what to do,' we must build inner resilience that supports us to meet the challenge. We can then accept that it is in that process that change occurs. In our outside circumstances, but more importantly inside, the way we perceive it. I bring years of working with and exploring that conversation with others to my coaching. Let's see what's there for you.
