Private coaching with Seth Marcus
Build a life that works as a whole.
Private performance and mindset coaching for accomplished people who want their health, relationships, creativity, and purpose to receive more attention. Three months of honest conversation, a personal roadmap, and support as you follow through.
A complimentary 30-minute conversation about your goals and whether working together fits.
Online coaching available. In-person work in Kona by arrangement.
Three months of focused support
A roadmap shaped around your life
Honest practice between sessions
Why coaching
Insight matters. Supported action changes things.
Most people do not need more information. They need a trusted place to tell the truth, see what they cannot see alone, decide what matters, and follow through.
Coaching creates that place. It is structured enough to create momentum and personal enough to adapt as your life changes.
What is included
Three months. A clear rhythm. Support as you practice.
Priorities you can act on
Discovery and onboarding help us shape a personal roadmap around your goals, values, and real life. We adjust it as you learn.
Text and email accountability
Support as you put the work into practice. I aim to respond within 24 hours.
We agree on the session format, schedule, support, and investment before you commit. Private coaching is tailored to you, so we discuss pricing individually. The introductory call is complimentary.
Client perspectives
“I needed someone who was going to challenge me, get me outside my comfort zone, and help me try new things, be a beginner again, and explore the weirdness of life.”
Bill · retired business owner
“Busyness is not a badge of honor. Prioritizing my personal life is not a compromise of my professional life. They complement each other.”
Nate · business leader and parent
“Seth reminded me that this personal work is the most important work. It allows me to show up better for the people I love.”
Hannah · parent and coaching client
“He knows how to set stakes and help people set their goals and achieve them.”
Doug · business leader
How we work
Personal. Honest. Built around you.
Begin with a conversation.
We discuss what is happening, what you want to change, and whether coaching fits. The 30-minute introductory call is complimentary.
Get clear on your priorities.
Discovery and onboarding help us understand your goals, context, and patterns. Together, we create a personal roadmap.
Practice and adjust.
Weekly conversations and between-session accountability support the decisions, habits, and practices you choose to work on.
What you can expect
Practical work, shaped around your life.
The focus comes from your life. These are examples of the work we might do together.
Make a decision you can act on.
Look at what matters, what is getting in the way, and the options in front of you. Choose a next step you can put into practice.
Have the conversation you keep avoiding.
Explore the pattern, prepare to speak honestly, and practice the boundaries or communication your relationships need.
Give your own priorities a place.
Look at the routines and commitments shaping your days. Make room for your health, creative work, or a goal you keep postponing.
Every client and outcome is different. Coaching supports growth and action; it does not guarantee a particular result or replace medical or mental-health care.

Why Seth
A coach in your corner.
My work brings together coaching, mindfulness, creative practice, and the perspective earned through illness, recovery, and rebuilding my own life.
You bring your experience, decisions, and goals. I bring perspective, challenge, support, and a relationship where we can be honest about what is working and what needs attention.
Common questions
Questions before we begin.
A little clarity about the relationship and the next step.
Who is this coaching for?
Thoughtful, capable people who want more from life than outward success alone can provide. You may be navigating a transition, feeling stretched thin, or noticing that health, relationships, creativity, or purpose have been getting less attention than work. You do not need to have everything figured out before we speak.
What do we actually work on?
We start with what matters to you. That might mean making a difficult decision, setting better boundaries, rebuilding a routine, having an honest conversation, or making room for something you keep postponing. Together, we connect the bigger picture to actions you can practice in everyday life.
How does the three-month relationship work?
After an introductory conversation, we use a deeper discovery and onboarding process to understand your goals, patterns, and context. The three-month relationship includes weekly 60-minute one-to-one sessions and text/email accountability between sessions. I aim to respond within 24 hours. Together, we build a personal roadmap and put it into practice. We agree on the session format, schedule, support, and investment before you commit.
Are sessions by phone, video, or in person?
Online coaching is available wherever you live, usually by phone or video. Seth spends most of his time in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, his primary base for in-person coaching and golf mindset work. In-person sessions in the Denver area may also be arranged around his visits. Destination experiences and travel intensives are arranged individually. We agree on the format, location, schedule, and any travel costs before you commit.
How much does private coaching cost?
Private coaching is a bespoke three-month relationship. We discuss the investment individually, based on the work and support we agree on, before you commit. The 30-minute introductory call is complimentary.
Why work with a coach if I already know what I need to do?
Knowing and doing are different challenges. A coaching relationship gives you a place to think honestly, notice blind spots, choose what matters, and follow through. The value is in the perspective, support, and practice around your own decisions.
Do I need to be interested in golf or psychedelics?
No. Private coaching stands on its own. Golf and psychedelic education are separate pathways for people whose interests and circumstances make those relevant.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching supports reflection, decisions, habits, and action. It does not replace psychotherapy, medical care, or crisis support. If your needs call for a licensed professional, that care belongs in your support system.
What happens on the introductory call?
The introductory call, also called a clarity call, is a complimentary 30-minute conversation about what brings you here, what you want to change, and whether working together makes sense. It can run a little longer when the conversation calls for it. Discovery is the deeper conversation where we really get to know each other and shape the work. You can bring questions and uncertainty; you do not need a polished explanation of your life.
How do I know whether we are a good fit?
The conversation goes both ways. You can ask about my approach, experience, and the practical details of working together. We look for a fit between your goals, the support you need, and the work I offer. A useful first conversation does not require a decision to become a client.
