About John Boerema

A Journey into Coaching

After more than fifteen years as a leader in Healthcare Information Technology — managing large-scale projects, guiding cross-functional teams, and architecting enterprise solutions — John realized his passion wasn’t just in systems and data. It was in people. He saw how breakthroughs happen when individuals are supported, challenged, and given the tools to grow.

In 2024, John began formal life coach training and is actively working toward his International Coaching Federation (ICF) certification. Today, he is already coaching clients, helping them uncover what’s holding them back and guiding them toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Rooted in Service

Beyond professional achievements, John’s life has always centered on serving others. He volunteers at his church and has traveled to Mexico to help build homes for families in need. He has also been a long-time mentor through the Big Brother program, giving young people encouragement, stability, and connection. In addition, he gave years of his life being a Divorce Care counselor to help newly divorced individuals cope with the life changes that affect everyone around them.

Life Outside of Coaching

When he’s not coaching or serving, you’ll find John out in nature. He loves camping, traveling the country in his RV, and connecting with the quiet strength of the outdoors. In Phoenix, his home base, John enjoys playing pickleball and spending time with his community.

He also has a playful side — he’s a fan of country music, learned country swing dancing, and now finds joy and connection on the dance floor as much as on the trail.

Why ADE Coaching?

John’s diverse background — from high-level IT leadership to hands-on community service — has shaped his belief that real transformation comes when we embrace three simple but powerful steps:

• Accept where you are today.
• Discover your strengths, values, and vision.
• Empower yourself to take bold action.

Through ADE Coaching, John combines his professional expertise, life experience, and passion for people into a coaching practice designed to help clients move from uncertainty to clarity, from hesitation to confidence, and from dreaming to doing.
