About John Engels
John Engels
FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT, LEADERSHIP COACHING, INC
John Engels founded Leadership Coaching, Inc. in 1996, based on the integration of three cutting-edge research disciplines: neuroscience, Bowen Family Systems Theory, and the evolution of leadership in non-human species. Under John’s guidance, his consulting team continues to draw on decades of learning with family researchers and with accomplished scientists who study the leadership behavior of wolves, elephants, chimpanzees, and other animals.
John earned an undergraduate degree in mass communications from St. Bonaventure University, and a master’s degree in theology from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA. After those formal studies, Engels began his "real education” 20 years of study in Bowen Family Systems Theory, and 20 years of monthly visits to a lifer’s group inside Attica Prison.
As both learner and teacher, John has traveled to many of the world’s most challenging environments, including Bangladesh, Haiti, Lebanon and post-Apartheid South Africa. He has addressed global audiences on topics related to the science and practice of high-maturity leadership, including at the American University of Beirut, Caritas Bangladesh, Cornell University, Enterprise Worldwide, The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Japan Family Center, The Port of Beirut, Simon School of Business, Taziki Psychiatric Hospital in Okinawa, and The United States Military Academy at West Point.
In recent years, John has presented new thinking, strategies and skills on “Emotional Maturity in the Family Business” to the heads of university-based Family Business Centers in the United States and Canada. At the invitation of the American Institute of CPAs and cpa.com, John recently produced a seven-session online series entitled “Owning Your Leadership: Building Extraordinary Relationships Beginning with Self,” targeted to public accounting firms in North America and beyond.
Now in its 20th year, John’s nine-month long Advanced Leadership Course, has graduated more than 1,500 top-level leaders.
Currently, John spends much of his professional life as a mentor to executive coaches and family business consultants. Each year, he contributes pro-bono teaching and coaching services to small, not-for-profit and community organizations. In addition, he accepts selective speaking invitations, writes a regular leadership column for the Rochester Business Journal and annually redesigns the curriculum for the Advanced Leadership Course.
“John’s program motivated me to slow down my decision making process with the goals of greater self-awareness and making the choices that enable me to consistently function at a higher level. It encouraged me to reflect on the responsibility that I should take in all areas of my life to become a more effective influencer. Leaders effectuate real change by starting with themselves.”
