LIFE COACH
R.J. is an International Coaching Federation (ICF) certified life coach. His coaching philosophy is that everyone on earth has a purpose and fulfilling that purpose means knowing oneself intimately, overcoming and learning from obstacles, accomplishing one’s goals to mature into the best version of oneself. He believes that that will lead to living up to one’s full potential and encouraging others to do the same. R.J aspires to partner with clients to hold them accountable to fulfilling their purpose. For this very reason he is known as the Purpose Fulfillment Coach.
R.J.’s coaching style is a cross between performance and transformational coaching. He assists the client with identifying roadblocks and hindrances and helps them work through a plan to overcome them resulting in goal achievement. During this process, he asks questions so that they client can self-identify their weakness and learn to better management them. At the same time, they also identify their strengths and learn to maximize them. This contributes to a change in the client’s perceptions of themselves and what they can achieve. By the end of a 6+ weeks of coaching the client walks away having a deeper sense of purpose and an idea of how to fulfill it.

Since writing the book, R.J. has had several book signings and has been requested to speak at multiple schools in the State of Michigan.
R.J. is set to release his second body of work, Lighting Up the Dark Places.
