Authentic Leadership. Honest Growth. Jake Perry Coaching.

It’s not about me, it’s about you.

Hi, I’m, Jake Perry — leadership coach, registered nurse, twin, dad, and a grateful guy in long-term recovery. I coach because I believe people are far more capable, resilient, and creative than they often give themselves credit for. And I know this, because I’ve lived it.

I began my career in healthcare, where I worked as a registered nurse and later as a leader within a national non-profit. While I thrived in supporting others, the stress, responsibility, and unresolved personal challenges eventually caught up with me. What followed was a profound personal reckoning – one that forced me to confront addiction, rebuild my life, and discover the power of vulnerability, clarity, and aligned action. 

Through recovery, spiritual growth, and a lot of inner work, I began to show up differently – as a husband, father, leader, and friend. Along the way, I found coaching. A space where people can be heard without judgement, challenge limiting patterns, and step into the next version of who they’re becoming.

Why invite me into your world?

Today, I work with individuals and teams who are ready to explore what’s next. Whether it’s navigating leadership, burnout, change, or just feeling stuck — I help people get honest, get clear, and move forward with purpose.

My style is warm, curious, down-to-earth, and occasionally funny (especially when you least expect it). I believe in creating safe, meaningful conversations that move people. I coach from experience, with heart, and a deep respect for the journey you’re on.

Today, I embrace the lessons learned from my struggles. I understand that vulnerability is not a weakness, but a pathway to growth. I am committed to my well-being, my family, and my service to others. My story is a testament to the power of redemption, the resilience of the human spirit, and the transformative potential of facing our demons with honesty and courage.

When appropriate and with permission, I’ll share my experiences with you, hoping there is something of value you’re able to take away and use in creating your own experiences and experiments in finding out what works for you.

Lead with intention,

—Jake
