Coach · Founder · Speaker · New Yorker
I’m Jon Pinney. I help people recognize what’s holding them back and find more freedom to be themselves.
The person behind the work
I spent 20 years in the closet and more than a decade building a successful corporate career. I knew how to meet expectations. Learning to live as myself was a different kind of work.
Coming out, leaving corporate life, and building businesses I believe in have each asked me to let go of an old version of who I thought I had to be.
Today, that experience shapes everything I create: coaching that makes room for change, tools that help us understand ourselves, and clothing that puts a little more kindness into the world.
