What clients are saying
I wish I had started this two years ago! I feel like I’ve been living my life without the operating manual.
I always look forward to my coaching sessions with Josh. His energy, preparedness, and passion are contagious, and he genuinely cares about your growth and improvement. He learns how to engage quickly with his coachees and his style is one that pushes you to be the best version of yourself without beating you up or kicking you while down. His approach is simple and often gets you to uncover that, a lot of times, you already have the answer; you just need to get out of your own way.
Josh has been instrumental in helping me get over the transition from being a do-er to being a true leader. He is understanding, empathetic, and did not hesitate to push me to realize my true capabilities.
Josh is amazing at what he does. He is a great listener, understands your situation, brings out your strengths, and helps present your best version of yourself. He has great people skills and is honest and sincere. His advice has been very valuable to me.
When people comment on this kinder, gentler version of me, I tell them, “It’s the Josh Effect.”
Josh has the maturity and gift to understand what I am talking about when I am trying not to say it outright. He continues to help narrow the discussion, and I can say it hits the center of the issue every time. It helps me focus harder after my meetings to address these issues. As a coach, I can say that he is exceptional.

A month ago, I spent a week in a silent meditation retreat. The experience has had a lasting impression on me. Seven days were long enough to disrupt habits so ingrained they ran on autopilot, creating space for neuroplasticity to begin working its magic. These gifts of awareness have opened up a new way of…

One of my favorite year-end rituals is reviewing my writing for the year and seeing which pieces resonated most with readers. It’s especially interesting for me this year, as 2025 was a year I pushed further out of my comfort zone than ever before. I began the year in Asheville, NC, in the midst of…
