Who Jason works with
Jason coaches executives, entrepreneurs, and ambitious professionals. Many are high achievers facing a promotion, a career change, or a gap between where they are and where they want to be. PTB also works with companies that want stronger leaders and healthier teams.
How Jason works
Every client starts with clinical diagnostics. Depending on the engagement, these can include hormone and biomarker testing through DetoxDocs, personality assessments and AI-supported insights through Cloverleaf, and emotional analysis through Valicor. The flagship program runs 12 sessions. It starts with a free 45-minute clarity call that finds the root cause of the stuck feeling. If a client completes all 12 sessions and does the work but sees less value than they invested, coaching continues for free.
