Founder John Howe has been mentoring and coaching for over 30 years. He loves people, and loves helping them liberate the very best of themselves.  For the last 10 years his passion has been Liberating the Human Spirit via personal transformation: opening ourselves up to new ways of Being Human, ways that light us up and liberate our spirit, joy, and passion for living.  This is a path he has walked himself, growing from a fearbound life to trekking in the Himalayas and walking on fire.  In 1995, half a year after discovering he had attention deficit disorder (ADD), he co-founded the Adult ADD Anonymous (AADDA) support group.  The group still meets at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, and is the only known ADD support group that met every week for eleven years.  These days, in addition to his coaching and consulting, he leads workshops in personal transformation, in teambuilding, and in The New Agreements in the Workplace (TM).

“Hats off to John Howe!  Our group was enthralled with the powerful and inspiring hour he spent with us.  We gained insights and techniques to move each and every one of us closer to our goals.  John’s passion for his work is infectious.  He has a true gift.”

“John, you are the love that you give to others!”

“John is a courageous speaker, addressing a difficult topic with enthusiasm.  He helps us address the places in ourselves where fear lives, and shares with us tools for addressing it effectively.  Using the examples of real people who have overcome incredible difficulties, his message is one to take to heart and act on today.”
