As a child you knew exactly what you wanted to do. As adults, practicality and societal pressures tell us that life obligations and joy rarely coincide. If you’ve done everything right and life still feels hopelessly lukewarm, Transformational Coaching is the way to go. Your coach will enable a structured whole-life realignment based on your truest north star.
Authenticity • Fulfillment • Growth
Career Coaching
Your coach will guide you in crafting a comprehensive branding and storytelling strategy around why you are the *perfect* candidate.

Team Coaching
When a team or department has gotten off-track over time, it can feel hopelessly complicated to get everyone back on track.

Collaborative • Transparent • Goal-Focused

Who you choose matters. Meet Johnny.
Johnny Guidry is a speaker, podcaster, and coach focused on helping others embrace their most authentic calling. His career progression includes over 20 years of leading leaders, learning design, public speaking, human resources leadership, project management, and operations.
In 2014, after years of self-sabotage, he realized he had devolved from a jet-setting executive to sleeping on a mattress on his mother’s living room floor. Unemployable, socially isolated, hopelessly in debt, deeply depressed, with severe health challenges due to compulsive eating, he felt destined to fade into darkness.
Slowly, through a journey of self-honesty, willingness to face his pain, and the power of optimism, light re-entered Johnny’s life. In 2019, after a series of breakthroughs, he trained as a personal coach at the Co-Active Training Institute and launched both Refractive Coaching and Refractive Podcast to spread hope and empower others.
Today Johnny is sober over 16 years, has lost 220 lbs, recovered emotional, physical, and financial health, and most importantly has learned to (imperfectly) embrace authenticity and inner wisdom. In 2020 he embraced a nomadic life and spent over 2 years building connections of service and spirituality across the US and Europe. Johnny now resides in Washington, DC and lives his best life by helping others do the same.
