“One can, I think, listen someone into existence, encourage a stronger self to emerge or a new talent to flourish. And in learning to listen well, one can also learn to be listened to, to be able to stand being heard. It’s frightening because true attention… invites us to change.”

– Radical Presence: Teaching as Contemplative Practice by Mary Rose O’Reilley

Individual Coaching

Dr. Chris Johnson brings nearly three decades of experience in practicing authentic presence and deep listening. His long career as an educator, facilitator, and consultant equipped him with a remarkable capacity to ask insightful questions that shed new light in shadowed corners and open new horizons of possibility.

Individual coaching sessions are offered in one-hour, 90-minute, or two-hour sessions, often in a series of three to four over the course of several weeks.  

In the consultation, Dr. Johnson’s questions for you will be informed and inspired by the core question, dilemma, or conundrum around which you are seeking clarity, and will be aimed primarily at helping you to discover the inner wisdom you already hold. This is not intended to be primarily a two-way “conversation” (although there will be some natural give-and-take). Instead, Chris will devote his full attention to you, providing a space of attuned hospitality to whatever you wish to share.

This experience is grounded in Dr. Johnson’s firm commitment to hold safe, courageous space for you to explore substantive questions in depth – always knowing that you don’t have to go anywhere you don’t want to go. Your privacy is assured, and confidentiality is guaranteed.

No matter your starting point or current place on your journey, having someone to accompany you along the way — just to ask good questions and to really listen — can be a remarkable gift. In this process, Dr. Johnson will travel with you on your continuing adventure to find “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
