“Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be”.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ready to Evolve Your Game?

Elite athletes have many coaches; strength, speed, mobility, mindset, to help them to perform at their best and get to the next level. I’m the guy that you hire when you want to take your health or personal relationships to the next level. I work with a select group of badasses who are ready to make the next 6 to 12 months the time that they will create the life they deserve.

Clients don’t pay me by the hour or for session time. They are committed to the long term transformation they create when working with me on thier desired outcomes. The results come as a product of challenging  themselves to evolve in emotional competence, personal accountability, radical self knowledge and extraordinary relationship skills.

“For more than a decade, I’ve spent a lot of time with people who call themselves coaches. Very few of them are truly able to help people — much less help people to transform their lives. Joe Bernstein is one of those rare, natural coaches. He was born to do this work. Everything about his life has prepared him to help others make powerful, lasting changes in their relationships, career, and personal lives. Joe has the ability to be incredibly supportive while also bringing the tough love when needed. He doesn’t tolerate bullshit. He doesn’t get caught up in hype. He believes in the value of doing deep work and letting the best version of ourselves — our health, mindset, sex, money, and life experiences — unfold naturally as a result.”  Read Full Story

“Working with Joe has been a life changing experience. I trust him enough to share things I don’t share with others, while knowing he will call me on my bull shit in a compassionate way.  I had a goal to spend less and earn more. Not only am I spending less but because Joe helped me see my value, speak my truth and stand up for myself, I now make $30,000 more a year in the same exact position! Now I take full responsibility and ownership over my health. I enjoy movement regularly and have reconnected with nature.  If there is anything in your life that you want but don’t have in wealth, career, health or mindset, Joe will help you reach the next level of success.”  Read Full Story

- Dave Standish, Senior Technology Consultant

“With Joe’s help I got a promotion with more responsibility, less stress and was more exciting to me. I took the lead with my new bosses. I told them when I’d start, what my key objectives where and what the plan was for my role…not the other way around. Because of our work together, I now stand in my bold leadership energy consistently. I know I am an expert, and I feel like I’m in charge at work and in my life.  I would recommend Joe to anyone who is ready to make serious changes with food and health or anyone who is ready to step up in career or business. ” Read Full Story

- Jeff Coulter, Senior Instructional Design Specialist - GAO Learning Center

"As a consumer of personal development work, I'm always looking for folks who walk the talk. Joe is one of those rare men that does. The guy's got a pulse on everything, and delivers truth in a way that is both boldly direct and approachable. His passion for change and transformation is contagious, and he will not not let his clients "slip by" or "settle". I trust his skills unconditionally and would recommend him to anyone truly ready to create or heal at a high level." ” Read Full Story

- Craig Revord, Transformational Performance Coach, MA LPC

“My whole life I would talk about the things I wanted to do and usually not get them done. Now when I say I want to do something, it gets done at least 90% of the time. Now I am more of the man I want to be. I get up early and get shit done consistently before work. I’m not negotiating with myself; I commit to a goal and take action. I exercise daily, step right into difficult conversations, and I’m disciplined. I am a pro-active participant in my life; I’m intentional about what I do. I’ve sharpened my clarity on priorities and no longer procrastinate. Work with Joe if you want to be in integrity with yourself, create new habits that will empower you and improve your relationships. If you care about your growth and you have ever felt “stuck”, hire Joe.” Read Full Story

“As a coach, Joe is very present, powerful, open hearted and empowering. I highly recommend him. He certainly made a difference in my life.” Read Full Story

- Bennett, Licensed Certified Social Worker

“Throughout my life, I'd been a heavy smoker and drinker. I'd try more times than I can remember to quit, cut back, and get healthy - failing over and over and over. I believed I just didn't have it in me to change. I'm so grateful to Joe for helping me see I have the power to go after what I want - to be that healthy man I want to be. Today, I don't smoke...I run Ragnar Races. I don't think I can't ... I bike Century Rides. I'm a guy with confidence who says, "A triathalon, yeah, I can do that." And I will. Thank you Joe.”” Read Full Story

- Michael Cervino, VP of Partnerships at Causmo.com

“After 9 months working together I’m in the same size pants without dieting at all. That hasn’t happened before in my entire adult life. I’m less stressed. I’m more present and patient with my wife and kids. My communication with my employees is vastly improved. I was happy to hire you again, but this time to work on my business and my greater mission. The first time I hired you I was worried about the money. The second time I hired you, even though the scope of work changed and the price more than doubled, I wasn’t concerned. It was a no brainer. Working with Joe will challenge you to look at life differently and take action. If you are 100% committed to challenge yourself and grow…hire Joe for both your personal and business life.” Read Full Story

- Josh Perelman, Owner of Trophy Mart

“After a short period of time working together I learned to slow down and drop anxiety. I’m more confident and spend less time stressing out in my head. It grounded me. I used to think I had to wait until I had the perfect body to date again. Now I know that isn’t true. Perfectionism is almost gone and this shift has allowed me to finally pursue a dream of being a Pilates instructor.  I had been putting off this dream for 10 years. I would recommend Joe to help you with almost any problem if you are willing to take a hard look at yourself and receive some tough love. Food, dating, career, confidence, stress, anxiety all come to mind.” Read Full Story

- Chrissie, Executive Assistant SF Bay Area

“Joe, meeting you this year has been probably the best experiences so far. Aside, from doing my best to show up at work I found myself struggling to figure out a way to have a game plan to improve myself. After coming across your profile on LinkedIn I had to reach out because I saw a man who went through something similar to me but the only difference was…he found a way! After our session I was truly inspired to make a difference in my own life because I've met an individual who not only understood but was ready to become a coach and mentor to help me figure out a way as well! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn't have believed in my vision the way I do today!” Read Full Story

- Syed Bukhari, Luxury Retail GM and Owner of Shah Industries

“During the four months I worked with Joe, I created tremendous value for my entire life. The obvious outcome is my weight loss of 25 pounds. During those conversations, Joe created the space for me to gain insights and have “aha” moments. His commitment to me as a whole person came through clearly resulting in a sincere trust in him. He is inspirational and enthusiastic in his coaching, and I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for what I was able to create for my life though my connection with him. My life has improved because of working with Joe as my coach. I give Joe my 100% recommendation, and that isn’t something I give lightly.” Read Full Story

Who are my clients?

My clients are badasses. They work hard, they master their professions, they care about being a great leader, father, husband and community member. They want to make the world a better place, they want to love boldly, they want to feel their personal power and they want to be healthy in mind and body.  They are often business owners, leaders, CEOs, VPs, or extraordinary high performers. They are passionate and effective at their work. 

Because my clients have put so much effort into becoming a badass in their professional lives, they have less than what they crave in personal health or in relationships. And it’s not their fault. Our world has taught men to focus on knowledge, income, work, science, technology and business. My clients are extraordinary but no one has taught them how to develop the skill set and mindset to be a badass in the other parts of life. 

My clients are gifted and powerful. They simply want more love, freedom, peace of mind or physical health. 

Real Client Results

 

Michael was never an exerciser or athlete. Working with me he quit smoking, started exercising, learned to draw boundaries with his CEO and started claiming more time to spend with his wife and teen sons. Today he is a triathlete who exercises daily and runs his own consulting firm working for the environmental and social justice non-profits that light up his soul.

David lost 30 lbs, got off of the standard american diet, started dating again and got a $30,000 pay raise and a $25,000 retention bonus.

While working with me Peter trained for and ran a marathon in Greece, while reducing his work hours, creating a great new relationship, transforming his side hustle and getting a $15,000 retention bonus to stay in his role.

Bill lost 25 lbs, improved his social life, became a better department leader who reduced his work hours by 25% after being with the company for 10 years. Then created a new dream job with an exciting young company that was willing to pay him $30,000 more per year and honor his new work life balance.

Josh lost weight and finally ended a 20 year cycle of yo yo dieting. He cut his work hours by 20%, increased his companies profit by 15% and started spending more time at home and volunteering.

Matt came to me during a difficult divorce. Working with me, he navigated his divorce with generosity and kindness while holding onto a lot more of his income and assets than his ex was demanding. He started working out again for the first time in years and is now having fun dating the successful, brilliant and attractive women, that he’d never imagined dating in his life.

Damian was successful in his career but frustrated with his daily habits. Through working together he formed a powerful daily routine, got in better shape, got a promotion. During our work he thought his relationship might be ending. Recently he got engaged to the same woman, who he is madly in love with.

Mark went from mostly striking out in dating, to dating with confidence and then creating his most powerful and passionate relationship yet. He started waking up earlier, working out consistently and eventually left a job that was killing him and landed a job in the wine industry that he is wildly passionate about.

JD lost 35 lbs, gained the power to say no to speaking gigs he wasn’t excited about, started dating again after 20 years on the shelf and found himself in a relationship with a caring and sexy Brazilian man.

Alan kicked ass in his career and in his mid 20s was making more money than he knew what to do with. But he felt like a fraud at work, rarely dated and had yet to be in long term a relationship.. Through our work he went from zero to multiple dates per week. He eventually created a relationship with the kind of woman he’d only dreamed about. Recently he created the courage to change careers and is about to move across the country to enter a new field.

Alex was in a job that paid him well but he hated. While working together, he renegotiated his role, dropped the projects he hated, got a 20% pay increase and convinced his CEO to let him work remotely. He is currently traveling the world as a digital nomad and working on changing industries to follow a lifelong dream.

How Coaching Works

Coaching is a mixture of respectful inquiry, conversation, listening, teaching points, experimentation, exploration and well-chosen action steps.

 

It’s designed to help you reach your goals, to properly evaluate and re-adjust your goals when necessary, and to help you have an empowered relationship with yourself and the world.

 

You’re not paying for “session time” or the number of coaching sessions.

 

 

In coaching, you are paying for honesty, insights, reflection, information, practical tools, advice, support, and challenge.

 

You are paying for:

 

The powerful insights you’ll get when you spend time with me.

 

The actions you’ll take — that you otherwise wouldn’t — without my coaching.

 

The vision you will get to turn into a powerful reality because of our coaching.

 

The transformation you will make because coaching repels the BS beliefs, ideas and fallacies you’ve held for years.

 

You then get to take action, build relationships, make your living, parent, engage with community and care for your body and mind from new beliefs.

 

The Details

 

Once we begin a coaching engagement we will have regularly scheduled meetings. These are often 3 times a month. Some packages include more, some less. Typical sessions run 55 minutes long.

 

In each session you get more in touch with yourself. You get to slow down. You get to review the past week or two and you get to plan the next week or two of your life. You will explore what is happening in your inner and outer world, in relationship to the goal at hand. Sometimes it will be simpler than you expect. Sometimes it will be much deeper and more complex than you expect.

 

You will be challenged to speed up, slow down, be more mindful, work harder, work less, love more, take care of your body, soften, harden, hustle and flow. You will take consistent action and most importantly you will begin to think differently, see the world differently and operate from new paradigms.

 

Each session includes a custom email recap from me. Each session includes an audio recording of the session for you to listen to whenever you want. Some of my clients find this one of the most valuable gifts of our work.

 

From session to session it looks like nothing is happening. Then when you look back over 3, 6, 9 or 12 months you will notice that your world is very, very different.

 

 

There are now 2 ways to work with me.

 

1. Customized packages focused on large life goals or deep internal or external transformations. These are long term packages of 4 to 12 months. Click here to apply. 

 

2. A 10 week program for Men under 40 to build Authenticity, Clarity, Fulfillment and Power. Imagine cross fit, yoga and a graduate level course on your mind, emotions and habits. For info coming soon. Click here to apply.
