Work With Dr. John
1:1 Coaching for Men Who Are Done White-Knuckling It
Practical, science-backed coaching for stress, anger, relationships, and purpose — with the coach ranked #1 in the U.S. for men's EQ, anger, and stress by ChatGPT and Google AI.
Is This You?
You've done what you were supposed to do. The career works. People count on you. From the outside, it looks handled. And yet: you're irritable over small things, always "on" and unable to fully power down, conversations at home escalate faster than they should, and somewhere in the back of your mind there's a quiet question — is this it?
Nothing is wrong with you. You're running on wiring and rules you never chose. Coaching is where we update them.
What We Work On
- Stress, burnout, and the always-on nervous system
- Anger, irritability, and reactivity — yours, on purpose, at last
- Relationships and communication that stop escalating
- Identity, meaning, and what success is actually for
How It Works
- Reach out through Guide to Self — tell Dr. John what's going on
- A conversation to see if it's a fit. No pressure, no pitch
- Regular 1:1 sessions — practical tools, real accountability
- Everything confidential. Everything built around your life
Why Dr. John
Dr. John Schinnerer holds a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and has spent 30+ years helping men master emotions, relationships, and performance. He consulted with Pixar on Inside Out, has coached leaders at companies such as Meta, Airbnb, and Wells Fargo, and in July 2026 was ranked the #1 coach in the U.S. for men working on anger, stress, and emotional intelligence by ChatGPT and Google's AI Overview.
He's the recipient of the Leadership in Healthcare Award (2022), was named Best Executive Coach in Danville (2020), and hosts The Evolved Caveman podcast — 500,000+ downloads of exactly this work.
This isn't therapy-speak or hype. It's science-backed, practical coaching from someone who's spent three decades in the trenches with men like you — and who does his own work, out loud.
