John Marshall

Hi, I’m John Marshall, Owner and Founder of Humessence. I specialize in bridging the gap between workplace culture and authentic human experiences, empowering professionals and organizations to thrive through mindful leadership and growth strategies. My journey into coaching stems from a rich career as a sales and business development leader in the energy industry, including pivotal roles at ExxonMobil. Transitioning into coaching, I built my expertise through foundational training at Wellcoaches and expanded into teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness at renowned organizations. Always learning, I also instruct at Life Purpose Institute's Life Coach Certification Program while hosting *The Present Professional Podcast* with Skillsoft. Guided by my credentials as a PCC and NBC-HWC, I focus on fostering resilience, innovation, and leadership authenticity. My educational background includes a Master’s in Positive Psychology from Arizona State University and dual Bachelor’s degrees in Energy Engineering and Energy, Business, and Finance from Penn State. Beyond work, you’ll often find me enjoying moments of mindfulness and soaking in the vibrant cultures of the U.S., particularly around wellness and innovation hubs. 🌟🚀
