Welcome! I’m Jack Ott and I’m here to help.
My career has been focused on executive leadership of financial services companies and, in recent years, working with startups from seed stage to growth. I have worked in situations where I was responsible for more than 1,000 people and I’ve advised companies with 5 employees. One challenge is ever present: the need to develop talent and leadership. This is where I can help.
Throughout my career, I have invested in people and developed leaders at every level. I think it’s working, because many of these people are doing amazing things in their lives and their careers.
My approach to coaching and mentoring is “values-based”, meaning let’s do the right things for the right reasons. The results follow.
For personal success coaching, I have developed the Growth Rings framework. It’s a systematic approach to higher self-awareness, preparation, planning and execution. It will help you identify and develop a portfolio of good habits and routines. Reading. Exercise. Nutrition. Sleep. Gratitude. The list of life enriching possibilities is long and we can explore them together.
Besides being a coach and mentor… I’m a committed family guy, outdoors enthusiast, artist, writer, traveler and incurable optimist.
Perhaps we should get started…

Bolder Blue Principles
Invest in Yourself. Read!
Most successful people are voracious readers. You need to be too. Whether you consume great content through audio-books, podcasts or the “old fashioned way”, a strong reading discipline is key to your success.
Inspired by nature.
Organic, not mechanic.
Maybe it comes from living in the great outdoors, but I believe that the patterns of success are already imbedded in the natural world around us. I believe that careers and companies are grown, not built. So you won’t be surprised by metaphors and examples drawn from nature. And a skepticism for easy fixes.
Body. Mind. Spirit.
Most people agree on body and mind. My unwavering belief is that there is more. I choose to express this through my life-long commitment to the Christian faith. You may have chosen another path. You will get better results from our coaching framework if you are open to exploring your own spirituality, in your own way.
