So you’ve built a career of significant impact, yet the person who started that journey now feels a world away.
Despite kicking many goals, there is an unexpected emptiness. The LION Protocol is a signature coaching process designed for the mid and high-level professional who is ready to stop surviving their success and start truly living their life.
Through four rigorous pillars, Liberate, Identify, Orient, and Nurture, we move beyond the "executive mask" to bridge the gap between your professional mandate and your personal truth.
We Liberate you from the weight of "successful emptiness," Identify the silent beliefs and misalignments that drive your burnout, Orient your trajectory toward what you actually want and who you actually are, and Nurture the identity re-alignment into your daily reality. We tap into and expand your personal courage to strip away the drag of appeasement and step into the raw power of authenticity.
For a $3000 investment this is a 12 week program of weekly one:one coaching sessions (1 - 1.5 hours each). It includes tools and other resources, accountability and 24/7 email and txt access. The program allows for the option to focus some time on relationship dynamics if required.

Over the past 2 months I have worked closely with John to resettle myself worth after a particularly difficult time in my life. Working with John has shown me a better side of myself than I ever knew existed. Through the sessions I have come to understand how the human brain works, and in particular, how the subconscious can control my thought patterns if I allow it to. With the tools that John has introduced to me I am able to control the emotions that were at one time dragging me down. Throughout the sessions I found John to be nonjudgmental, empathetic and caring. These attributes allowed me a sense of security allowing me to open up and move forward positively. Would I recommend coaching by John Rainbird? A definite yes.

I highly recommend John for guidance and for fresh perspective in your stuck areas and in your most challenging areas of life experience. I trust any guide who I feel is genuinely supportive, who hears me and who can offer support in ways that helps create the shift needed for growth. I feel 100% safe to address all of my deepest concerns with John. I will definitely be seeking guidance from him again in the future. Self mastery is a passion of mine and I am grateful for John's support at my current stage of growth in life.

John's coaching and the tools it provided helped me enormously in dealing with lifelong feelings of rejection and being an outsider. No matter how hard I tried for and got approval it never negated these feelings. John's course provided me with a new perspective and tools to redirect my emotions down more constructive pathways of self-acceptance and self-worth. I can now appreciate more of my life, despite physical problems from aging, and be thankful for what I experience rather than suffering through a daily grind. I have no hesitation in recommending this course to anyone else who has tried all the self help and psychology and still been stuck.

II was never sure of the idea of having a coach, but decided to jump into it both feet with John and it has been an illuminating journey. I unpacked my sense of identity, life's struggles and aspirations with John, from which he provided me a toolkit and a bag of tricks to step into the next leg of my voyage. Revive, thrive, alive!

I really recommend John and his coaching sessions. After each session, I have felt empowered and confident in making what were at the time, hard decisions. John has helped me navigate a very tricky situation, move through my fears, encouraged me to hold onto my power, not let the situation sap my energy and to not be so afraid to have a voice, while helping me to let go of my worries about others' reactions. Thankyou John"

Thank you so much for my sessions with you John. I was feeling so overwhelmed with my life situation when I found you, and you helped me to put things into perspective and to stop listening to negative self-talk. Keep up your good work, the world needs more people like you.
