John Geraghty’s inspiring journey from struggling with alcoholism to becoming an acclaimed optimal performance coach showcases the power of personal transformation. After battling alcohol from a young age, John made a life-changing decision at 29 to rebuild his life through personal development, including reading a book a week for 30 years. His transformative approach is centered around his Prism of Perspective framework, which teaches that our beliefs, energy, and presence shape how we experience life. By consciously reshaping these beliefs, we can unlock profound change. John’s own physical transformation is equally remarkable—having gone from being clinically obese and in chronic pain at 45 to achieving exceptional health at 62, all through mindful movement. His story shows that lasting growth doesn’t require drastic changes but rather consistent, small improvements over time. As John says, "Wherever you are is where you are," and with honest self-assessment and small steps, you can start transforming your life today.
