You’ve built a life that

works.

You provide.
You execute.
You lead teams, projects, or companies with competence and clarity.

But somewhere along the way,

those skills that made you successful

stopped translating at home.

Not because you don’t care.
Not because your values are off-base.
And not because you’re doing it “wrong.”

It’s because leadership at work rewards decisiveness and output —
while leadership at home requires emotional regulation, presence, and restraint.

Most high-performing men were never taught that distinction.

You may still be leading your personal life with an internal system designed for earning approval and avoiding mistakes — not for grounded, mature authority.

That system works exceptionally well in business. But at home, it can quietly erode intimacy, peace, and trust.

There’s another way

to lead.

I call it The Inner Father.

The Inner Father is the internal authority that allows you to:

  • Stay calm under emotional pressure

  • Make decisions you don’t second-guess

  • Hold boundaries without defensiveness

  • Lead your family without force or withdrawal

It’s not about becoming “soft.”
It’s about becoming settled.

When this internal authority is integrated:

  • Conflict de-escalates instead of compounding

  • Emotional volatility is no longer the default at home

  • Trust and safety rebuild naturally

  • Leadership feels quieter — and far more effective

You don’t lose your edge.

You wield it deliberately.

Through The Inner Father Method,

high-performers experience:

  • Stronger, more resilient marriages

  • Deeper connection with their children — without trying harder

  • Confidence in high-stakes personal conversations

  • Less internal pressure, more clarity

  • A durable sense of authority that carries across every domain of life

This is not therapy.
It’s not religious instruction.
And it’s not another performance framework.

It’s internal leadership alignment — so the man who leads at work is the same man who leads at home.

Many men believe they’ve already done this work — especially those who are self-aware, successful, and intentional.

And yet the same patterns keep surfacing:

  • Over-control or withdrawal

  • Emotional distance

  • A sense that home requires more effort than it should

That’s because insight doesn’t rewire authority.
Integration does.

This is the work I lead men through — privately and deliberately — so their leadership becomes coherent, sustainable, and deeply human.

The Method

  • Phase ONE — Extricate
    Identify the unseen patterns shaping stress, reactivity, and relational blind spots.

  • Phase TWO — Integrate
    Install the Inner Father — shifting from approval-based and/or mistake-avoidant leadership to internal authority.

  • Phase THREE — Cultivate
    Practice presence, boundaries, and emotional steadiness in real family dynamics.

  • Phase FOUR — Activate
    Lead a grounded, connected, and more joyful family life — without sacrificing ambition.

Some men come to me for help

stabilizing relationships.

Others stay on because everything

starts working better.

If you’re a Bend executive who senses there’s a quieter, stronger way to lead — this work will meet you there.

  • "Jake's method helped me see why my 'leadership' was failing: FEAR. I've learned how to be present to my most difficult thoughts and feelings, with courage. My wife and kids have definitely noticed! Our home has totally transformed."

    —Zach | Oregon

  • "Wisdom coupled with authenticity. You just get the feeling that Jake has been through what you’re going through and come out the other side. Like he’s not lecturing or just giving you a solution, but that’s he sees elements of himself in your situation and he’s working on it *with* you."

    —Jackson | Georgia

  • “Jake blew the lid off my life. You can feel the confidence and experience coming out of him when he teaches, but he’s still so grounded and approachable. His insight has been invaluable.”

    —Chad | N. Carolina

  • "Jake helped me claim my masculinity for myself; not according to what society wants, but according to what I want. He helped me purify my intention and taught me the power of my Word to Self. I feel unshakeable."
