“When I started coaching with Jonny I felt stuck.  Jonny helped me find a pathway towards finding myself and transforming how I show up in the world, and treat myself and others. I consider myself to be fairly self-aware, but I only have so many modes available in my head, so having Jonny call out self-limiting beliefs and patterns that hold me back  was really valuable.  He helped me look at different ways of attacking problems that helped me see where I was getting in my own way. He also helped me point out the many wins I often overlook, and instead encouraged me to pause, reflect, and celebrate my improvements, which I now practice more with both myself and with others.  I now show up in my life and work from a more powerful and grounded place. And I’m taking my experience of being coached and applying it to my own staff and others in my life, which has made me a much more confident and effective leader. I’m so grateful to Jonny for being a coach and thought partner in helping me upshift my life.”

— Allyn M. | Vice President, Research Publishing at Wiley

“Over the past several months I’ve been fortunate to engage with Jonny as my leadership coach.  He worked with me from a place of curiosity, confidentiality, and genuine caring.  That feeling of trust led to many break throughs in my professional and personal life.  He exposed blind spots and helped me identify areas to improve my relationships at home and in the workplace.  Thanks to Jonny, I’m more confident and at peace with many things that used to stress me out.  I would highly recommend this one on one coaching with Jonny to anyone looking to improve their quality of life and make a positive impact on themselves and those around them.”

— Kevin J. | Executive Vice President

“Working with Jonny has completely transformed how I communicate with clients and prospective clients. My client base has expanded dramatically in the time I’ve worked with him and I would not have many of these clients without his guidance. Johnny worked with me both on my mindset in communicating with prospective clients and on technical aspects of what to say or write. He gave me very frequent and specific feedback on my emails and other communications. This was invaluable; it helped me with those communications and it helped me learn to do it better the next time. I have successfully made the transition from coaching as a side hustle to coaching as my full-time job and source of income. Jonny’s coaching was crucial in that transition. I would recommend to anyone who needs support in growing their coaching business and wants to do it with a service- and relationship-oriented approach.”

“Words cannot express the gratitude I feel, and the depth of the experience of being coached by Jonny. When I first found Jonny, I was in the middle of one of the biggest life transitions I have ever been through. Having lost most of my “former life” due to the coronavirus pandemic, I was now caught in a limbo with my entire future unclear and up in the air. After several months, I knew in my heart that I could not go back to who I used to be, but was not yet aware of what was to come. There was a “vague” feeling of something having felt “off” in my “previous life”, but I could not identify exactly what it was. In a way I was thankful that change had come, but what was it that felt “off” before, and where to go now?

Finding Jonny was a pure blessing, and it happened right at the perfect time when these answers were ready to be discovered. Jonny has a true gift, and was able to dive deep into my mind, subconscious, and heart so that I could discover for myself what had been going on. Through asking the right questions, impeccable listening and reflection, and knowing just where to gently steer my ship, the answers came one right after the other. It is something you have to experience to believe.

I discovered that in several areas of my life (professional, family, spiritual, social), I was not living my authentic truth and passion, but had “given away” my truth to others. I had felt shrunk down in a pattern of fear, assuming (subconsciously) that I had no unique and worthy contributions and leadership voice in my life and in the world. Jonny exposed this story I was telling myself over several months of profound deep inner work, and I now feel like I have been born into a different life. My confidence is soaring, and I now know in my heart who I am and what I have to offer the world. This gem is ours to celebrate and share with others. It is not to be owned or controlled by other people or society.

It feels like the possibilities are endless, and that I now have the confidence and strength to author any path I wish in my life and in the world. Recognizing what I have, making a life/career path out of it, and offering it to the world as a gift of service and love. Our life is a joyous palette co-created with Spirit, and this freedom is forever ours should we choose to reclaim it. I cannot recommend Jonny’s coaching enough for anyone who wishes to see what is possible in their lives.”

“As I reflect upon my executive coaching sessions with Jonny Roman the first thing that comes to mind is a strong feeling of gratitude. First and foremost I am grateful for Jonny’s friendship and support. I am also grateful to be a part of an organization that values the importance of coaching. When I first signed up for coaching, I felt slightly apprehensive but after my first session with Jonny it changed to optimism! With coaching, I am now confident that my brain should not be used so much as a record of the “Past” but a map of the “Future”. This involves me monitoring my “Self talk” and working to define myself by “MY” vision of the future.  I also learned a great deal about the strong connection between my mind and body. I now fully understand its ok to start practicing “forgiveness” even for myself. I am confident that by doing this it will de-power and/or eliminate my anxiety.

My coaching sessions have had a tremendously positive impact on my life. One of the most significant was the essence exercise. The essence exercise was such a humbling experience when I found out just how many people I impacted positively in my community and work environment. During my coaching experience there were countless instances where Jonny’s knowledge and support exposed me to different perspectives.  Without reservation I would recommend Jonny as an executive coach to anyone that would like to unleash their own energy and grow in every aspect of their life.”

“After working with Jonny, I am more mindful of my thoughts and behaviors. I feel more open, yet grounded and connected. Forgiving myself is easier. I am happier and feel more at peace.  

Never have I worked with someone more knowledgeable, more caring, and better able to reach me. I have developed real, lifelong change through our sessions together. Jonny uses small attainable goals and techniques that blow open stuck perspectives. His approach is one of kindness, love, and authenticity. I always felt heard; never judged. 

Jonny's coaching incorporates expertise in a number of subject areas. He also calls upon his own experiences which makes him very relatable. His inherent wisdom shines through, yet he remains open to learn from those around him. He is dependable and available. He is my guide, my friend.” 

— Jamie Karcz

“I met Jonny in the most fantastic way... our guided trip to Peru led by him and his wife.  I loved his coaching, structure, and feedback.  My life was set in motion to change as that trip ended.  Years later, I realized I could still use him for continual structure and coaching in my daily life.  I signed on for 6 months and renewed for our coaching to extend another 6 months.  

If you would have met me four years ago, I was a victim.  I had been cheated on and single parenting wasn't what I signed up for.  I was unaware of my worth and not in a place to find peace or start my new story.

Today, I am proud of my past.  I am grateful for my story and who it has made me!!  I own my mistakes, I am proud of my actions, and I use what I learned through coaching to maintain my goals.    

What I enjoyed most about Jonny was the honesty on both of our ends.  I was able to reach out to him about anything.  I felt safe and trusted his feedback.  He helped pave the path for me to find myself again.  He was with me through the healing of my first marriage, self-worth, PARENTING, dating, work, and friendships.  We covered all of it.  When I asked for proof of something that I could not see was working, he found a way.  When I needed parenting support (my fear that this may be lacking of something he could supply), he found multiple ways.  Also, he was there outside of our sessions too.  

I needed the coaching.  I needed to regain my inner strength and confidence.  I needed to be held accountable.  

I am so grateful for my time with Jonny.  I made my life mine again.”

“Elsie and Jonny were professional, engaging, and authentic in the workshop they presented for our Regional Professional Development Day for a diverse group of workforce development staff. Elsie took the time throughout the planning stages to listen, ask questions, and confirm her understanding with me as I explained (very chaotically) what I was hoping to get out of the workshop – both in regard to content and staff morale and culture. Her patience and ability to really listen and interpret my key values and needs, led to an extremely successful, on-point workshop for our staff! We left feeling educated, inspired, and hopeful because the tools and skills we learned were easy to implement and would increase our effectiveness in our lives and work. Elsie and Jonny did not disappoint!”

— Marie Domiano

“I sat down with Jonny only one time, for a brief, 30-minute coaching session, and he helped me discover that it was okay to do what’s best for me, instead of others.  As a result of our session, I left my job I had been at for 10 years, and started a new one, where I couldn’t be happier.  I now have 23.5 paid days of time off I can use to spend for me and my children, so that I can live and pursue my dreams. That revelation of what I needed to do was within me the whole time, but Jonny was the compassionate man, the coach, the friend, the expert who asked the right questions to draw out my own personal answer that was hiding within.  I’m indebted and appreciative to you Jonny!”

— Kayla Bradham

“When I started working with Jonny I was completely lost.  I had just had a big event change where I was in my personal life that spiraled into affecting where I was professionally.  After years of being sure of who I was and where I was going I felt like a shell of myself.  I had found the woman of my dreams and wanted to be more professionally but felt stuck.  Jonny helped me calm down and relax.  Honestly his coaching helped me separate past life events from who I am and where I was headed.  Throughout our coaching he was able to help clear that internal mental fog I had created and get "unstuck".  I thoroughly enjoyed our time coaching together and can't thank him enough for his time and patience working with me.”

— Luke Popham | Health and Wellness Coach

Jonny helped me see that I didn’t have to choose. I was so focused on “doing” something that I was losing sight of how much value there is in just “being” my full self. Jonny helped me find the anchors in my life to realize that I don’t have to try to be something I’m not. Our work together has helped me discover the confidence to trust everything that I am, and to move forward knowing that I have the answers I’ve been looking for.”

— Jonathan Mischke | Brand Consultant

“When I first started coaching with Jonny, I was a bit hesitant.  I had worked with several other coaches in the past and it never seemed to fit for me. Whilst I had some success, I never managed to create the real results I was after and I never felt fully connected to my previous coaches.  

Coaching with Jonny was very different as he provided me with a safe environment where I could explore absolutely anything that was needed to move forward. Not only did he help me understand my existing patterns of behavior, he also helped process the blocks standing in the way of what I wanted.

Before working with Jonny I felt stuck and unfulfilled in my romantic relationships and in my career. Working with Jonny allowed me to recognize and enter into the best, most loving, communicative and honest relationship I have ever had, AND, he has also provided me with the tools to continue growing this relationship. In addition to this, my existing employment transformed – In the last six months I was promoted, I received two increases in salary, a cash bonus and I have been able to structure my work days to incorporate more time for my passion of creating art and painting.

I have heard it said many times that if you want to get different results, you need to do something differently. For me coaching with Jonny was the key to doing things differently. Jonny has a sincere ability to provide a mix of compassion, acceptance, and a completely non-judgmental environment, whilst also keeping you focused on moving forward and stretching your boundaries to create real results.  I highly recommend Jonny, he is brilliant, trustworthy, whole-hearted, highly supportive and always leading by example in his learning and growth. I love working with Jonny and I highly recommend him if you are serious about getting what you want in life.”

— Daniel Bonney

“I was lost, frustrated, tired of attracting narcissistic ***holes (you can plug in another word, lol) I was about to be 40 years old and needed to make massive changes to be happier & more fulfilled in life. Jonny was a huge piece of my transformation. I could not have done what I did this year in all areas of life without him! His kindness, compassion, value, and consistent intention of being fully present and available to serve my needs was so helpful. He also knew when to push back, and challenge my thinking with compassion and a soft kick in the rear, which I needed badly! I needed someone to hold me accountable and provide the tools to push through to the next level. Jonny helped me release the judgements, and truly love myself again, which I am forever grateful and in his debt. If you are looking to make a real spiritual change in your life, to love yourself without judgement, then Jonny is your answer!”

“I have metastasized prostate cancer. Through other attempts to find ways to deal with this, I began searching for a life coach. My daughter actually recommended Jonny.  Most of the other testimonials talk about how much Jonny helped transform & improve their lives. I'll mention that a little at end. But I want to highlight a few thoughts maybe NOT shared by others:

The complimentary intro sessions he offered helped convince me that Jonny was a "fit" & it would be worth the time & $$ to let him work with me.  Take advantage of these. THEY ARE NOT A GIMMICK. In addition, Jonny was completely reliable in terms of managing our appointments.  This is in the context of having already tried a coach who both charged a whole lot more (& even for a few extra minutes!), & then readily broke scheduled appts.

The "systems" Jonny has in place are really good. This includes: making appts; giving feedback BEFORE a session; payment; & providing support materials (written, oral, & visual resources).

Like any good coach (I'm a public Middle & High School retired teacher & track coach myself), Jonny "walks the tight rope" between being sensitive to providing what YOU (the client) wants & "pushing the envelope." He's sensitive to challenging you, yet also sensitive to "dealing with what you need today." He's also well-organized, preps before a session, & is excellent in terms of follow-up.

He's fun to work with. Good sense of humor. Loves dogs (& has one himself). Shares stories from his own journey & life. He's humble.

As to my own journey, Jonny has helped me be in a different place in relationship to my cancer. I'm no longer "beating myself up" for "not being perfect enough." I realize much better the "real issue is my relationship to the issue." (Put: question, dilemma, problem, etc. in place of "issue.") After 6 months of working with Jonny, I am truly in a different place. If you want to talk to me (about the coaching, the cancer, alternative approaches to healing), Jonny has permission to give anyone my contact info.” 

— Jim Wallace

“When I started working with Jonny I was at a crossroads in my life.  I was just getting ready to leave my job and move to a new country, and I had a lot of questions about the future that had me somewhat paralyzed and trapped by fear and worry.  

Coaching with Jonny was really helpful because I had a safe space where I could be honest as well as challenged. I consider myself to be pretty self-aware already, but our sessions would help highlight things about myself or my life that I wasn’t even aware of.  We would dig deeper to see what’s really going on inside and then created habits and took action to resolve them and move forward. 

Now I feel more empowered.  I’m getting rid of illusions I’ve had about myself and my future, and I have more confidence and clarity, because I know that I have agency over what happens.  I’m more in tune with my intuition and trust myself to make choices and decisions because I know how to work with my fears as they come up and move through them more quickly.  

Jonny also gave me a bunch of resources, readings, tools, and other methodologies that I know will continue to serve me now and into my future.  This helps me feel more centered and ready to handle whatever life throws my way.  

I highly recommend Jonny, coaching with Jonny was a worthwhile investment and I’m grateful for the opportunity that helped me get back on the right path.”

— Seamus R.

“Jonny has been a huge help in my life.  When I first started working with him, I was at a really low point in my life.  Lots of challenges that I was facing.  Working with Jonny, he helped me tap into my power, and helped me become aware of the person inside of me with tremendous strength, who is responsible, driven, and unstoppable!  Jonny has a tremendous caring about him and yet pushed me when I needed it so I could move through the challenging times I was experiencing.  After 1 session with him, I became aware of how I had been showing up in ways that were not serving my success, and that same afternoon, I nailed my interview and got the job I had been hoping for.  Thanks Jonny for pushing me to push me through the tough times.  You just put me in my strength.  I am feeling unstoppable now.”

— Tony Tzaj

“When I first started talking to Jonny, I felt stagnant, unfulfilled and stuck. I didn’t even know how to respond to the question “What do I dream about?” After working with Jonny, I can now recognize unhealthy habits that don’t serve me, I have new tools that allow me to recognize when I’m getting stuck, and instead of feeling helpless, I now know I can figure out how to deal with what’s in front of me in a more empowered way.  

I didn’t have a hard and fast goal when I started coaching.  But one of the outcomes from coaching with Jonny has been a much deeper emotional awareness of how I react to situations.  While I didn’t necessarily have a goal, how much I progressed feels like I’m a very different person than when we started. 

As someone who has spent a lot of time worrying, one of the most useful things I found in coaching with Jonny was being able to talk about all of the worries in my head that felt super real, and having a sounding board to either validate or challenge what otherwise would have felt ‘all-consuming.’ Jonny kept me honest and focused on what was real.  

Now I have a much clearer direction of where I’m going and feel much more empowered and aware with how to support myself as I get there.”

— Dannielle K.

“After working with Jonny for 6 months I feel much more prepared to take ownership of my reality and make it what I want it to be.  I have a greater sense of awareness as to how I have been approaching difficult situations from more of a victim mindset, and now I know that I have the power to change my life.” 

— Jenny R.

“I have had the opportunity to work with Jonathan on several occasions.  He has provided me with ongoing support.  His compassion and intuition, coupled with his superb questions and listening skills has made our time together highly productive. He was able to guide me to the solutions for several personal challenges.”

— Bevan Hemsworth | Holistic Healer

“I often struggle with speaking openly about my feelings and identifying past issues that still resonate with me today. It's always been a struggle. But after just one session with Johnny, I felt so comfortable with sharing I don't think I stopped talking. The flood gates were open. He did an incredible job managing our time, ensuring we both were heard, and taught us techniques and exercises we continue to use daily. I can't recommend Johnny enough.”
