Jon Hord
Coach
Jon Hord spent years as a high-achieving professional… while feeling like a reactive, stressed-out parent at home. He wanted to be present with his kids, but didn’t know how. His short temper and the missed moments were slowly turning him into the father he promised himself he’d never become.
Through coaching, reflection, and real inner work, he learned how to change. He rebuilt himself by breaking old patterns, mastering emotional regulation, and reconnecting with his children.
Now he guides other driven, busy, high-achieving fathers through the same transformation.
He’s the creator of The Engaged Father Project, an eight-week program that helps fathers shift from reactive to intentional without sacrificing their careers.
