Executive and Leadership Coach to Successful Executives
Who Seek More Satisfaction and Balance in Their Lives

Brilliance through Balance™

Executives from Los Angeles, Hawaii, and Shanghai consider their twice monthly private coaching calls with Master Certified Life Coach Jeff Bow to be among the best ongoing investments they make in their success and satisfaction in business and life. Jeff’s proprietary Brilliance through Balance™ approach is the reason clients say they achieve their goals faster, enjoy life a lot more, and feel more deeply connected to Spirit.

Jeff believes and his clients agree that the deep sense of purpose that flows from setting priorities in concert with what matters most to each is the fuel that drives inspired growth in every aspect of their lives. Spirituality is at the center of this work as opposed to being just one essential ingredient in the success mix. Most clients work with Jeff over a year-long period of time to welcome remarkable results and rewards that are priceless in their lasting value.

Three Decades of Impact

Not a stranger to long-term commitments,
Jeff worked for three decades as a strategic change agent for organizations ranging from a magazine and book distributor to a construction material manufacturer and supplier before launching his successful private executive coaching practice in 2003. In this role, Jeff’s gifts and talent for shaping company cultures to honor mutual respect and the celebration of the Human spirit were well honed. He was proud to put to rest antiquated leadership philosophies such as “Do as I say and not as I do” to open up new, collaborative work styles to bring about stunning, revenue generating results and team satisfaction.

While Jeff has made a lot of hard business decisions, negotiated contracts and fought for the rights of workers to make a lasting difference for leading organizations, one of the hardest personal decisions he ever made was putting Kila, his treasured 9 year old Rottweiler, to sleep. Doing what was best for his quality of life with bone cancer versus letting him rest peacefully put into poignant focus the importance of remembering Spirit first.

Among his favorite quotes is this one:

“ The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
-- Martin Luther King

Today, Jeff connects deeply with high performing executives to guide their most inspired performance and satisfaction in work and in life. In his nonjudgmental, receptive, and nurturing way, Jeff supports and motivates clients to guide their teams to accomplish more than they ever thought possible, while showing them how to welcome more joy, fulfillment, and positive results in their own lives.
