Lumis Coaching · John Fanous
I help CEOs of growing businesses who feel stuck in the messy middle of growth find clarity, carry the weight more lightly, and enjoy leading again.

What used to feel simple now feels layered. Decisions stack up. Your team needs more from you than ever. And the business that once energized you starts to feel like a weight you carry.
And underneath it all, there's a quiet pressure most people don't see. You're the one everyone looks to. The one who has to hold it together.
And there aren't many places you can actually say, "This is harder than I thought it would be" — and not feel like you're the only one struggling.
Good news: the future is bright.
As a coach, facilitator, and pastor, I've seen what happens when a business grows faster than its systems — and when a leader carries more than they were meant to carry alone.
I'm also a Licensed Predictable Success Partner, which means I bring a proven approach to help you scale without losing what matters most. The framework pinpoints which of seven growth stages your business is stuck in — and most CEOs are surprised where they actually are.
But more than anything, I care about helping you carry what you're carrying — and become the kind of leader who actually enjoys the business you've built again.
This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about removing what doesn't belong there.
We'll talk through where things feel stuck or heavy.
We locate exactly which growth stage your business is in — and why the strategies that got you here are now working against you.
You'll put in place the specific structure your stage demands — no more, no less — so the business can hold its own weight.
Your team carries weight with you, and the business becomes enjoyable again.
If nothing changes, growth doesn't solve the problem — it multiplies it.
More revenue… but also more pressure.
More people… but also more complexity.
And over time, it's easy for the business to start owning you — your time, your energy, and even your joy.
Not because it's smaller — but because it's healthier.
For CEOs and founders carrying too much alone. We meet regularly — a standing rhythm of honest conversation, real diagnosis, and next steps you can actually take. You leave each session with more clarity than you came in with, and less weight on your shoulders.
For leadership teams ready to name what's really in the way. In a full-day facilitated session, we diagnose where your organization is stuck in its growth — and work together to map out exactly what needs to change. Your team leaves with shared clarity and a specific plan for what comes next.
For Christian CEOs who want a room of peers who truly get it. We meet monthly for a full day — a structured rhythm of challenge, learning, and honest conversation rooted in shared faith — plus monthly 1-on-1 coaching between sessions. You leave with decisions made, not just ideas floated.
