John Michael DeMarco

I’m a lifelong writer who makes his living (for now) as a professional executive coach.

My aim in my professional work is simple and two-fold: I want to absolutely delight people during real time coaching or feedback debrief conversations and when sharing content I’ve created.

The goal of coaching is to help people pause and question their beliefs, behaviors, thoughts, and ideas that limit their perspective, so they can see a new way forward to achieve their desires.

Across more than 20 years, I’ve proven that I can coach anyone, anywhere to achieve that goal—whether C-Suite executives, physicians, attorneys, university foundation leaders, family business owners, regional directors, people managers, or high-potential individual contributors. My clients have spanned more than 25 industries and several continents.

I bring a multidisciplinary mindset to my work, seasoned by diverse career experiences and a lifelong fascination with the human condition through the nuances of architecture, filmmaking, jazz, literature, mindfulness, mythology, philosophy, psychology, spirituality, and world history.

Nashville, Tennessee, is my current home and nearly 100 percent of my coaching and feedback sessions take place over video calls.
