We help executives find their Workpath to success.
Our goal is to guide leaders to find a fit between their style, values and motivation and the business needs of their companies.
This is the Workpath to leadership and career success.
More and more, high-performance leaders are relying on coaching to reach peak performance. In fact, coaching is their preferred method of formal development. There is probably no better way to improve the performance of key leaders than to implement a properly designed coaching program.
To be effective, executive coaching must be tailored for the individual executive. Rather than running everyone along a predetermined path, Workpath does the necessary background work to ensure that the coaching engagement is right for the executive, the company culture, and the specific business objectives being addressed.
John Epperheimer
Since 1990, Workpath Group’s John Epperheimer has been helping leaders break through barriers to achievement. He specializes in working with San Francisco Bay Area executives in high technology, bioscience, not-for-profit and professional services organizations.
In his second career, John has been deeply involved in two major innovations in personal development inside corporations: Executive Coaching and Career Development.
He often works with leaders who must build on their functional backgrounds by improving their executive presence, communications, delegation and influencing skills. As a former journalist, he is adept at uncovering an organization’s perceptions of an executive and at holding up a mirror so his clients can see their blind spots. John has coached numerous high tech executives, ranging from software lab directors to VPs, General Managers, Senior VPs and CEOs.
In 1999, he co-founded the Workpath Group, a Silicon Valley company that was among the first firms to provide cadres of coaches and full management of coaching services for corporate clients.
Before co-founding the Workpath Group, he was vice president/client services at MindSteps, Inc., a Silicon Valley start-up company that produced the first Internet-based career development software. For four years, John directed corporate services at the Career Action Center, a Silicon Valley non-profit organization, during the time the CAC designed and operated employee career development programs for Fortune 500 companies.
John also launched and managed the Silicon Valley office of a national career development firm where he was a vice president.
Before entering the career development and coaching field, John was a newspaper editor for 20 years, the last seven at the San Jose Mercury News. For eight years after leaving his editing career, he wrote a newspaper column titled "Reinventing Yourself."
John earned a master's degree in organizational development from the University of San Francisco, was a Knight Fellow at Stanford University and earned a bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University. He is certified to interpret the Birkman Report and several other assessment instruments.
