His coaching philosophy, based on principles of deep transformation, provides a refreshing alternative to the traditional life coaching practice. Through his empathetic and effective work, Kippen has carved out a niche that resonates with those seeking meaningful growth and fulfillment.
Resilience coaching is a welcome departure from traditional life coaching. It acknowledges that life is unpredictable, and adversity is a part of the journey. Unlike other conventional approaches, resilience coaching emphasizes arming people with tools and the right mindset to overcome challenges and come out stronger.
Kippen is at the forefront of this emerging field. He emphasizes the dual development of emotional resilience and personal empowerment, helping clients face difficulties head-on while transforming setbacks into opportunities for growth. His approach not only addresses immediate challenges, but also instills lifelong skills that foster enduring strength and self-confidence.
Kippen's approach is distinctive. It focuses on deep, transformative change, instead of superficial fixes. He actively helps clients unearth the root causes of their issues. By dealing with core beliefs, values, and behaviors, he empowers them to develop lasting personal growth.
His key pillars of coaching are:
► Loving ourselves, developing self-compassion, and accepting the imperfections of being human.
► Taking risks, moving out of our comfort zones to grow and take advantage of opportunities.
► Dreaming and finding magic in the world, inspiring us to rediscover and pursue our dreams with cheer and tenacity.
► Making meaningful connections, establishing real relationships, being present and actively listening.
► Building community, forging a personal network of support that buttresses resilience and empowerment.
As a professional magician, John has worked with some of the best in the business, including the legendary Doug Henning and Robert 'Bob' Fitch, who strongly influenced his Coaching style. As a Coach, John uses his creative problem solving skills to develop custom routines with his audiences as metaphors for his messages of overcoming adversity and being different is your superpower. When you work with John, the sessions are not about learning new effects as much as answering the questions “Why did you choose performing Magic as your artform?” and “What do you want to share about yourself through your magic?” John is a firm believer that audiences leave magic performances not remembering the specifics of a trick, but how you made them feel, and what they learn about themselves from his illusions and stories. He works to find his students' life passions and help custom create magic presentations that communicate who they are as human beings.
