Moab desert stretching toward distant snow-capped peaks

The coaching

Coaching that
doesn't stay
in the room.

Every PathForgeXP engagement is a coaching program. The wilderness is where the work gets done — included, never the product.

How this works

You are not booking a trip. You are hiring a coach who refuses to do the work across a desk, and who takes you somewhere the honest conversation is finally possible.

Every engagement below is a coaching program. The sessions come first, the wilderness is where they land, and the integration afterward is what makes it hold. The experience is included in your program. It is never the product.

01 / Men's Coaching Program · Moab included

The Inner Forge

A full coaching program for the man who needs to get quiet, get honest, and get clear — with the desert as the room where it finally happens.

The forge is where raw material becomes something with an edge. Structured coaching on identity, purpose, and intentional living, alongside a small cohort of men who lead at the same altitude and wrestle with the same questions. Midway through, the whole cohort goes to Moab together: guided challenge, solo reflection, and the fire circle where the real sentences get said. Maximum of eight, so no one hides in the back.

  • Structured coaching sessions before and after the wilderness
  • Your Moab experience included in the program — gear, meals & safety handled
  • Max 8 men — solo or as a private cohort
  • Led by John, grounded in research published in three FT Top-40 journals

02 / Father & Child Coaching · Moab included

The Moab Journey

Coaching for the relationship you cannot afford to get wrong, with the shared story your relationship has been waiting for built into it.

Ages 12 to 18. The coaching gives you the frameworks and the language. Moab gives you the setting: days moving between hiking, mountain biking, and the river, evenings gathered around the fire for the conversations most fathers and children never quite find the words for. You leave with a common language, a set of references only the two of you share, and coaching afterward so the momentum survives the drive home.

  • Father-child conversation frameworks, coached before you go
  • Your Moab experience included — hiking, biking, river, evening circles
  • Max 5 pairs — intimate by design
  • All gear, meals & safety led by a Wilderness First Responder

03 / 1-on-1 or Group · Ongoing

Integration Coaching

The desert lights the spark. Integration is where it becomes a permanent change in how you show up.

Insight fades fast once the calendar reloads. These sessions — one-on-one or in a small group — turn what you realized in the wilderness into changed behavior at home and at work. Practical, accountable, and built around the specific gap you came to close. Available on its own for men who are not ready to travel yet.

  • Structured sessions, in person or remote
  • Personalized action plan & accountability
  • Continues the work from any program
  • Available 1-on-1 or as a private group

How it works

Three steps to the trailhead

01

Measure your Wilderness Gap

Eight questions, about four minutes, no cost. You get your profile immediately — the honest distance between who you believe you are and who your people actually experience.

02

Your calibration call with John

John reads your profile before you talk, then reaches out personally to understand your situation and shape the program around what you actually need.

03

Begin the work

Coaching starts, and the wilderness chapter is scheduled and handled — gear, meals, route, safety. You show up ready; we take it from there.
