About John Ramstead

You know that you were designed to accomplish great things…but first, you must help your team eliminate conflict and take full ownership of their roles. You want to make an impact and not only retain your best people, but also create an environment for all of you that delivers the joy of living on purpose. Here’s what I know for a fact:

Living life fully alive is not only possible, but it is also right in front of you! The secret is figuring out exactly WHO you are and HOW you lead, then designing a flight plan so that your strengths and gifts take you to the destination you have dreamed of, but didn’t know quite how to reach.

My name is John Ramstead, and I love combining my experience as a Navy combat fighter pilot, Fortune 500 manager and serial entrepreneur with my passion for helping you and your team reach your full potential…all while incorporating the very valuable lessons I learned from surviving a near-fatal horseback riding accident in 2011. Recovering from a severe traumatic brain injury--that required 25 surgeries and put me under hospital care for almost two years—radically transformed my thinking and forced me to connect with who I was meant to be. I learned how to create my best life, and I am excited to help you and your team do the same!

How often do you rush into action as soon as you hear of a problem? It’s common for coaches to want to offer a solution, but it’s imperative to consider all six stages of change in order to provide effective coaching. Today, we’ll walk you through a model that can support people in the decision-making process of behavioral changes—a tool you can begin implementing at your next coaching session!

Tune in to understand more about:
