Mark W. Guay

Men's Coach

Mark Guay is an Integral Certified Coach and IFS practitioner with over 15 years of experience guiding business leaders to peak performance and personal growth in a way that aligns mind, body, and soul. He is the founder of Fathers Without Compromise, a group coaching program and community for business-owning dads to be great fathers and build a great business without compromising one or the other. As an adoptee and survivor of childhood domestic violence, he leads with this approach: To really change our lives, we must heal the past and embrace the unknown. To do this, we need self-accountability, the courage to take decisive action, a community of support, and trust that doors will appear, leading us on our path.
 
In addition to his coaching roles, Mark is an entrepreneur in the social impact space. He helped found a direct-trade coffee roaster in San Diego and created a series of mindfulness-based online courses that have impacted over 1 million leaders and entrepreneurs worldwide.

Mark holds a Master’s Degree in Education and is a member of Integral Coaching Canada, the International Coaching Federation, and the European Mentor and Coaching Council. His unique blend of skills in habit formation, parts work, psychedelic integration, and public speaking makes him a sought-after mentor and leader in the coaching community. You can often find him riding bikes with his son or upside down in a handstand when he is not coaching.
 
Previous executive clients include Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Slack, Etsy, Tatari, and JP Morgan.
