Jack Cook- Lead Coach, Facilitator, Founder of dyn-active Male Coaching Alliance
Are you ready to create the changes that will lift you to a higher level of personal awareness, and relationship joy?
Then you may be ready for: "dyn-active Coaching" A Journey Of Self Discovery and Relationship Success
What I Do:
I facilitate MEN through a process of self discovery - to determine what is truly important to them as individuals, within the family, at work, at play. Spirituality is an important element, as is integrity, values, establishing life guidelines and interpersonal boundaries. I coach each man to a higher level of understanding of himself and his total environment. I encourage personal stretches (setting higher goals, etc.) We celebrate together, we face situations as they appear, and we seek to forgive and be forgiven for errors in judgment. FURTHER: I coach each man to learn new relationship skills, to create certainties in requirements, needs, and wants; to vision their relationship future and then MAKE IT HAPPEN!
My Ideal Client:
A man who desires to improve himself and/or the quality of his relationships; That is; Spiritually - the relationship between himself,GOD, human kind, and all manner of life;
Emotionally - the relationship with self, to look within, to enhance that in himself which is healthy,strong, and positive while releasing the destructive memories, the negative self talk which restricts his growth;
Relationally - setting aside past patterns, forgiving his failures, while learning new behaviors, creating business, personal, and romantic relationships in which to participate fully and honestly, fostering integrity, establishing trust, so that friendship, compassion, and love soulfully offered is heartfully accepted and returned.
Helpfully - seeking to improve yourself as a man,so too will you strive to improve the lives, the joy of those around you, as you receive so do you give; knowing, as you have given so too you receive.
My Mission:
" Nobody ever said being a man was easy. If it were, more guys would try it."
-- Hugh O'Neill
The dyn-active Coaching Alliance is dedicated to the social advancement, relationship education, and overall success of MEN. dyn-active Coaching is part mind set, part attitude, part philosophy, part spiritual belief, part process of structured learning toward an established goal, and part pilgrimage. dyn-active utilizes the lessons of 'old' behavior, coupled with new desired outcomes to create successful results in how a man sees himself, the manner in which he lives, and the relationships he chooses to engage in.
The dyn (power)-active (action) process relates to the values, passions, vision, and abilities of each man. You establish your own pace for change, we provide the guidance. Together, we re-create you as the man you envision yourself to be. YOU are a power - house of positive energy, albeit un - tapped, or un - directed, it's already in you. Power plus action that is understood, and focused become the under - pinnings of a man who is living his life; Fully, Joyfully, Gratefully.

Personal:
It's been 46 years since I left Western New York State at the age of 17 to enter the Army. Many jobs, many careers, many relationships; some successful and happy, others not so much have been celebrated and mourned since then. Every situation, every relationship has proven to be a training ground for what has become the pinnacle of my accomplishments. To be of service to other seekers on this path we call life.
To have returned to school to study the art and science of Life Coaching, followed by additional training in Relationship Coaching has indeed solidified a truth, and a trust taken seriously that God does indeed have a vision of and a mission for the life of Jack Cook.
Having coached clients and fellow coaches in the United States, Canada, and Australia opened a window of understanding about to whom I can best be of service; other men!
So it is that dyn-active Coaching as a discipline, and The Male Coaching Alliance have been created. There is no earth shaking experience, or secret revelation to be found in dyn-active Coaching. You will find sound coaching practices, coupled with uncommon understanding, and the listening skills to have you feel heard, and appreciated. What we hope you will find, and nurture within yourself, as with your relationships is a path to peace. Peace as in acceptance of self, and peace filled coexistence with everyone you meet along your personal path.
How do you do this?
First, and foremost; develop your spirituality. The connection between you, God, and all manner of life is a constant and unbreakable bond. Honor this - live it to the best of your ability.
Second, know yourself. Be fully aware of your likes, dislikes, requirements, needs, wants, and learn how to manifest this understanding in all that you do.
Third, express your gratitude for all the trials, all the tests, all the grief life has thrown at you. These have in fact been the best learning tools you could ever hope for. The root of your joy! Be forgiving!
Coaching Style:
To explore - To Learn - To Question - To Challenge - To Succeed. The entire coaching process is about YOU. My goal is to facilitate your discovery process and coach your learning in a manner to leave you happy, satisfied, and willing to go ever further in your quest for YOUR BEST LIFE!
Client Comments:
Coach Jack,I want to begin with how much gratitude I feel for your gifts and the generous way you share them. Yesterday our session was very powerful and it set me up in strength for the rest of the day, which I so needed strength. The week actually went from bad to worse, and because of our time together I was able to understand it and allow the lessons of the day to inform me and inspire me forward. Pretty intense!!! Thank you Jack, Thank you God! Thank you God within Jack....WOW WOW!
-- F.H. FloridaCoach Jack,I was at a place in my life where I wanted to make some changes, but days and weeks and months seemed to pass without me making much headway. I thought you would help to make me more accountable and thus, able to bring about the changes I was longing to make. I have gained the accountability I was looking for. Having another person to report to, has proved to be really helpful to me. I've already made some of the changes I was looking to make and I'm on the path to make other long-term changes. You are very thoughtful and exude a positive energy. I was pretty frustrated with myself when we started coaching. Your upbeat attitude and reinforcement helped me to find the energy to move forward in my life. Thank you.
-- W.M. WashingtonCoach Jack, Your experience, knowledge and wisdom resonated with me. I had been reflecting on the importance of my spirit and learning ways to live my life from a place of heart and soul, I knew you could help keep me focused on that path ...There have been numerous learnings with you that I am grateful for ...The big moment was a few weeks ago when I realized how valuable having a coach is, someone that supports me, helps me stay close to my values, and helps me find the things that make my heart and soul sing....I am moving concisely and quickly through my learning and shifts. I enjoy the exercises in the relationship coaching manual as they entice me to take another look & reflect a bit further or go to places I hadn't thought of, allowing space for new things, beliefs, and relationships. You have a wonderful energy and a fabulously big heart.The space you create for me as a client is supportive, loving, non-judgmental and sharing.

Other areas of coaching expertise:
Establishing myself as a "MANS" Coach is likely to leave a perception I don't care to coach women. NOT SO! I do however limit my female clients to: spouses, girl friends, and any significant women who is active within the life of my male clients. Hence the listing under couples coaching.
Ladies, think about this. Some men are extremely self conscious, perhaps somewhat chauvinistic, or reluctant to engage in "personal" conversations with a women. Regardless of how professional that woman may be. So, if you aren't having success in getting your MAN to see/talk to a female coach, try this new approach. "Honey, take a look at this guy." Good luck, and GOD Bless your efforts.
