The Baker Coaching Program

At our core is the Japanese Practice of Misogi, commonly recognized as a cleansing and purification practice. It also includes an annual choice of a goal so great that it could be lethal in attaining—for example—climbing Mt. Everest.

With Baker Coaching, you won’t be asked to choose such a goal, but you will be challenged to always take the growth path. At the end of the path should be a goal and reward that is sufficiently challenging and meaningful to you, your family, and loved ones. We’ll explore past challenges that pulled you to achieve far more than you imagined possible, as well as the long-term personal and other assets you accrued in the process. Your goals, fears, and aspirations are all within you, so we’ll practice to achieve a greater awareness and comfort level.

From there, with this new level of comfort, set, and support, we’ll have you achieve the professional goal; EVP, COO, CMO, CTO, CEO. We’ll also help you identify some barriers to achieving a work-life balance that’s key to maintaining a sustained level of excellence. This balance leads to resiliency that is crucial to sustaining and growing over a long career and life.

In Baker Coaching practical as well as John Baker’s personal practice, it’s known that the journey, preparation, and training to attain any goal is the greatest value—the daily routines, atomic habits, and commitment we invest is synergistic with a result that is more than we could have ever imagined. We’re better equipped to address daily challenges with aplomb, balance, and equanimity while simultaneously completing that 5K, marathon, Ironman, and ascending to EVP, COO, or CEO. We call this The Baker Climb.
