Coffee House Coaching
Coffee House Coaching is an Executive Coaching podcast where I speak with fellow Executive Coaches about their practice, their process and how they help their clients. I also speak with individuals impacted by coaching and how it has improved their lives. My goal is to shine some light on the wonderful world of Executive Coaching and explain what it is and how it works. So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, relax, and enjoy my conversations about Executive Coaching.

Welcome to Coffee House Coaching, where great conversations are brewed one powerful question at a time. I’m your host, Gary Nowak, and each episode is caffeinated by 8 thought-provoking, no-fluff questions designed to tap into the Coaches insight, impact and inner work of their practice.
Today’s guest is John Schuster where he described a philosophical conversation with a client on epistemology (a.k.a. “How do we know what we know?”).
"Presence, Poetry, and the Power of Stillness — Coaching with John Schuster."
📝 7 Summary Bullet Points:
- Presence is 50% of coaching—and worth 100% of your inner work.
- John blends coaching, mentoring, and consulting based on what the client truly needs.
- His journey through Jungian psychology and spiritual development deepened his coaching presence.
- He’s still refining how to love his clients more deeply while doing less “doing.”
- Not afraid to get philosophical, he once explored epistemology mid-session.
- Uses humor and tone as core tools—“Ha-ha, Aha, and Ahhh” are all welcome.
- Closed the show by singing Dylan’s Forever Young—a reminder that coaching, like life, is a beautiful ongoing journey.
