Meet Jacob
I bring a deep passion for men’s work, including training with, among others, Owen Marcus, a pioneer in men’s coaching and emotional development.
Jacob Berkowitz, B.Ed. Experiential Education
A coach sees your strength—even when you don’t.
I work to be the coach I wish I had in my corner as a struggling husband, father, son, friend, entrepreneur and scared man at times lying in the dark at 3:00 a.m.
Men’s life coaching is my second major career. I embody forty years of hard won personal and professional inner work and using this experience to help other men of all ages heal, grow and thrive.
I bring the wisdom, patience and humility gained through facing my own shame, self-hatred and fears in the decades-long process of addiction recovery. I welcome your full personhood.
I’ve engaged my unconscious through years of intensive dream and shadow work. I can confidently hold the space for you to courageously turn and face what you’ve been running from.
I work to be the coach I wish I had in my corner as a struggling husband, father, son, friend, entrepreneur and scared man at times lying in the dark at 3:00 a.m.
Years ago I quit a permanent job “with benefits”. For twenty-five years I’ve walked the windy path to craft my own career as a self-employed entrepreneur and artist. I’m excited about helping others heed their inner voice and discover, launch and build their creative, career and entrepreneurial paths.
As a husband for thirty-plus years and father of two twenty-something children, I know that intimate relationships are the source of life’s greatest struggles, disappointments and joys. Relationships are also the crucible for forging our fullest selves–we’re wounded in relationship and it’s in relationship that we heal and grow. I’ll work with you to learn to stay strong in vulnerability, open to intimacy and live in loving connection.
From my work as an award-winning author, playwright and performer I’m immersed in the ways of the creative process. I’m enthusiastic about helping others move beyond doubt and resistance to embrace their creative journeys.
As a journalist and science writer I bring curiosity and questioning skills and experience. I don’t just listen to what you say but how you say it, the light in your eyes, your body posture. It’s this attentiveness which will help take you deeper into your experience and gain greater clarity for your path forward.
Workshop
Fatherhood—The Initiation
The most important investment you’ll ever make in your family.
Becoming a father isn’t about having a child. It’s an inner transformation—that takes work.
As a new dad I learned the hard way—stumbling forward, guided by love and doing my best. The Initiation is the experience and community I would have loved to have as a young father. Gather-in the wisdom of generations of men. You don’t have to do this alone.
