Welcome to the All In Blog
What a year of transition 2015 has been. After 22 years at Craven Closeouts, for most of which I was CEO, I took a calculated jump, and founded All In. It is with gratitude for everyone who was part of our team for all those years that I turn the page to this new chapter in my life.
The seed of this transition was first planted in 2007 when I joined Young President's Organization; and later fortified when I joined Conscious Leadership Forum (now “Conscious Leadership Group”) in 2012. As I tapped into my passion, purpose, and potential as a leader, my ideal for what I wanted in my life expanded.
I recognized that I had a gift for coaching, and had been informally coaching in my corporate and community roles for decades. Once I realized this, I dedicated myself to formal training, and I certified over the next two years. I then founded All In Executive Coaching. To say I’m excited would only begin to express my deep enthusiasm for this venture.
I want to take the opportunity in this first post to express my gratitude for everyone who has supported me to live my dream. I could not have made this leap without the support of my wife and partner in all things, Judy Craven, and three daughters.
I’m doing what I love and serving in way that delivers value, all while having fun. I look forward to bringing stories from the coaching field, and sharing the same tips I share with the leaders I coach in my posts here. Stay tuned, and make your voice heard. If there are topics you’d like me to cover, let me know.
To going all in together, Jack
