Is burnout defeating you?
How many of these are true for you?
​
-
I enjoy my work and have enough energy left at the end of the work day for my personal life.
-
I am making the impact I want to make on the world.
-
I am doing a great job as a leader.
-
I am following my passions, which makes my life feel exciting and prosperous.
-
I have regular fun with friends.
-
I have a satisfying love (and sex) life that includes deep connection, healthy communication, and continuous growth.
-
[For Dads] I have great relationships with my kids that includes both fun and serious time together.

This isn't a scientific poll. But if you didn't nod and say "uh huh" to as many of these as you'd like, maybe we should talk. I can help.
Burnout is affecting men in record numbers.
So if you're a guy who's feeling exhausted, constantly spinning your wheels and getting nowhere, and convinced that "it just is what it is", don't worry.
You're not alone.
​
Here's what else you need to know ... you can get out of it. But you're gonna have to get uncomfortable to really root it out. Why?
​
Because burnout grows in layers through thousands of decisions we make over a period of years. To break out of it we have to deal with some fundamental changes.
Expansive Intimacy: How “Tough Guys” Defeat Burnout is many things.
It’s a memoir of my personal journey through burnout.
It’s a research project that unearthed a difficult revelation that told me I had struck a root cause of men’s burnout.
And it’s a roadmap to a new way, one that allows a guy to maintain his “tough guy” status while enjoying the joy, liberation, and richness of a life lived intimately.

Just so you know it's real
I didn't end up writing a book on burnout, shame and intimacy just for fun.
​
I wrote it because life keeps coming at me with big-time challenges. (And it always will.)
​
No. I wrote it for moments like the one in this video, shot in September of '22.
I always will need the tools that Expansive Intimacy offers me to stay on top of life.
I'm Jim
Men's Burnout & Leadership Coach
It took me 8 years to figure out how to end my burnout for good.
The way I got there might surprise you at first. But once you hear what I learned along the way, I think you'll see why it works so well.
​
If you're ready to get out of burnout for good, too, grab half an hour of my time and I'll explain what I mean and how it works.

Proud to have supported:


“What got you here won’t get you there.”
- Marshall Goldsmith
In my sessions with Jim he helped me figure out what to let go of, and had a lot of advice on which direction to focus instead. Week by week, I was able to clear out the parts of my stress that I could control and improve my situation.
- Chris B., CEO
Jim forces me to answer questions that I need to work through and address, but would avoid if left to my own devices.
- Noah Smith, CEO
Jim not only helped me remember the value of my unconventional career and life journey, how I learn, and my outlook on things. He also introduced me to new tools and new strategies for getting through the modern work world and life!
- D. M., Tech Consultant
I worked with Jim as the coach for a small group and it was excellent. Of course, he was well prepared on our calls, leading the group members on a journey to better understand ourselves and our inner motivators.
It was a great experience and I highly recommend working with Jim.
