John Kalinowski

I’ve been to a fair number of therapist of different sorts. This time I was interested in something very practical. But mixed in with that was a mess of emotions and baggage — which is to be expected. John fielded it all directly and pointedly in such a skilled manner that we quickly were able to highlight the best way to move forward. I mean I was utterly stuck and b/​c John is particularly gifted… I am now unstuck and thriving. I was willing to listen to John and as a result he helped me move my career forward in ways that I dreamed about but was, apparently, too confused (afraid?) to understand how to attempt. A year on, I’ve realized and exceeded most of the goals we talked about setting at the outset. It just takes listening to John’s amazing insight and empathy and really internalizing it. If you’re ready for John’s wisdom, you’re going to succeed… and he wants you to. So I very highly recommend John. He’s not only a Life coach, a career counselor but a friend. He’s wise beyond his years and talented beyond most therapists (and I’ve encountered a lot of them!). I feel infinitely lucky to have this gifted individual in my life.

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with John Kalinowski — it has been truly life changing. At first, I was hesitant to reach out to a life coach but after working with John I am so grateful that I did and I could not recommend his services enough. I personally think that everyone would benefit from a life coach and there are none better than John. Working with John has provided me with a level of clarity that I never achieved prior. I am not only certain about my life’s path but I am fully confident with the direction I am headed — and I owe that all to John. John has the rare ability to help you navigate you through anything and everything.
Above all, John is an amazing person. He is sincere, he is trustworthy, and he knows what he is doing.
I am truly grateful to have had the chance to work with John I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

My Life Coach John Kalinowski, has been a heaven sent. He truly has been a positive force in my life. Each life coach session was filled with endless insight and inspiration to get on my road of happiness.
With my willingness and John’s coaching, I have gained control of my life. He has coached me to gain peace and more love within myself.
John coached me to use that positive energy to see the beauty that the world holds. Which has helped me to be the happiest I have ever been.

I was looking for a life coach when I relocated to New York City from Silicon Valley. I found John highly recommended on Unilocal,and I met with him regularly during fall 2014 and early 2015. He helped me prioritize areas I needed to work on in my life and helped me adjust to life moving across the country and getting settled into a new city. Since meeting with John, I’ve become more productive at work, more focused in my personal projects, and have developed more meaningful relationships with those around me. I highly recommend John to anyone looking for a life coach in the New York area.

One of Johns great strengths as a life coach is that he roots out what you truly desire to accomplish in life and vigorously advocates for that and believes in your ability to realize it. In addition, John is a completely sincere individual who is not afraid to call you out on your BS. I have been working on and off with John for the past year. It has been a period of consistent focus on that which is most important to me. I have accomplished many important goals and integrated some very positive lifestyle changes. I attribute much of this to the influence of coaching sessions with John. I highly recommend John as a life coach!

John Kalinowski is an outstanding life coach! I have been working with him for the last five years and my life has been transformed. I never thought I would work with a life coach. When I noticed a good friend of mine was achieving goals and succeeding in every area of her life, she told me she had been working with John and could not have done any of it without him. Like most people I used to make my annual New Years Resolutions only to be in the same place twelve months later. I can honestly say that in the last five years working with John I have achieved ALL of my goals. Now I am constantly setting new, bigger more ambitious goals. I lost over fifty pounds, got myself out of debt, achieved numerous career goals and am by far a much happier and healthier person. John is kind, fun, smart, compassionate and a true inspiration.

The day that I asked John to be my Life Coach was a turning point in my life. Sometimes you need help changing old patterns and stories in your life. He has guided me through career choices, school issues, dating drama, family relationships, and financial goal setting. He is intuitive, compassionate, empathetic, a straight talker, and funny as hell. If you are TRULY ready to change your life, then John is the one to help you.

I’ve been taking sessions with John for just over a year and I can honestly say that he’s made such an amazing impact on my life. He’s extremely encouraging but also challenging, which I think we all need sometimes to really make positive and long lasting changes. I really look forward to each meeting because I know I’m going to leave feeling more enlightened, positive, and driven to accomplish my goals. I couldn’t recommend a better person to help you achieve all that you want in life.

I first found John on a Gilt city offer. At the time I was experiencing a great career change, learning to be a new working mom, and simultaneously witnessing lifestyle adjustments having just moved from another city. All in all, I was unhappy, scared, and lived with constant fear, stress, and exhaustion. I figured having tried working with hypnotist, psychologist, a shaman… you name it and I’ve tried it in the past… heck why not a life coach?!
I’ve since have been seeing John for over a year. He is authentic, sincere, objective, patient, and an effective listener. He remembers everything I say… it’s quit amazing. John’s approach with me allows me to find the answers within myself so the resolves become my own and adaptable. He offers behavior suggestions that make me uncomfortable in a good way. For example, he talked me through ways of confronting a bulling colleague. It made me so uncomfortable at first because I didn’t feel like myself. With opportunistic practice, it became easier and easier each time and I found a different me.
Today, I am still working on myself but I’ve come a long way with John’s help. He has taught me to be more courageous, helped me to discover strengths I didn’t know I had, and ultimately have helped me to truly understand that I DO have the power to improve my own life. John has been a blessing and I cannot imagine my life without him in the past year!

I wish I could give 6 stars when talking about John Kalinowski. I met John about 7 months ago, during a period of my life where I was so stuck in my career, everything started being blurry. Yes, I worked hard. Yes I had the vision boards and yes I read every business book out there thinking I could do this on my own. Yet I couldn’t and while thinking I did everything the way I should, I felt tremendously stagnated. My friend suggested I’d see John and I am so happy I followed her advice.
Through our meetings and goal settings I am learning so much and I feel free again. I feel like I am now truly evolving with results — all the while being happy and living with less stress. Less stress, more sleep, no knots in my stomach when I wake up in the morning and more consciousness.
I am catching myself having conversations with my friends and family talking about what I learn through my sessions with John. Every session gives me food for thought and guidance through my days before meeting again.
If you are looking to see things clearly and have a better perspective on your life, I highly recommend John as your life coach.

Have you ever had those moments in your life when you are searching for the right word, to complete an important email? The right music for an important gathering? A familiar face in a sea of strangers?
Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when that small missing piece of a puzzle is found or profound comment uttered, that suddenly shifts your perspective and makes everything slide into place?
It is a powerful moment.
John — for me — is a guide to helping me find those spaces of clarity. He hands me the pencil that helps me map out the plan that takes a life that is «good enough» and recreates on that is just… extraordinary! It takes courage. It takes a sense of humor, and it takes «surrender, but what you gain in exchange cannot be quantified.
It might best be expressed by the word «JOY».
Thank you John for reminding me to relax into the sea of life. Thank you.

I can’t even begin to describe how much my life has improved in the past few months since I started visiting John. I look and feel so much better, I have an apartment I’m no longer embarrassed of, I’ve finished a draft of the book I’ve been writing, I’m exercising more frequently, and I finally have a handle on my finances. It took me forever to decide to see a coach, and I’m now kicking myself that I didn’t start years ago. I can’t imagine a better coach than John. I’m so thankful for everything he’s done for me.

I have been working wit John since 2010 and when I think about how much my life has changed since our 1^st meeting, it blows my mind! I had just lost my Mom to brain cancer, broke up with my fiancée, had no financial security and had lost my faith in anything which led me to feeling like I had no purpose on this earth. John was referred to me by a friend and it was either see him or jump in front of a subway car and I’m soooo glad I chose John.
We still meet once/​week and today I am handling my Moms death, I’m dating, I have my own very successful business which gives me so much happiness, a purpose and financial security. Along with all this, I also have a completely new perspective on my life and I’m truly happy.
John is a very gifted person and I’m so grateful that he is sharing his gifts thru his Life Coaching. He’s very intuitive and insightful and tailors his sessions to his clients needs. He works with short term and long term goals and you’ll be amazed at how many of those goals you end up reaching by working with him. At the end of 2011, I had reached every single goal I had written down. It’s incredible!
I completely 100% suggest you start working with John Kalinowski Life Coach today!
