Welcome! I’m Lantz Howard.
I help high-performers align identity, marriage, and vocation– so they can lead wholeheartedly with the purpose that flows from a sound mind and a healthy soul.
I’m a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I’m also the host of Whole Hearted Leadership, a podcast featuring other leading voices in my field, such as John Delony, Patrick Lencioni, Henry Cloud, and John Eldredge.
My clients include C-Suite executives, professional athletes, creators, business owners, and anyone who’s not content to live a halfhearted life while infinite potential is available. They have zero tolerance for those who operate out of fear or anxiety, carry anger or bitterness, or lack clarity and confidence.
There is only one goal in our work: Transformation. We show up regularly to scheduled tough conversations, knowing that accountability is the only path to progress. You commit to telling the truth about your story, including the beliefs and emotions that are driving your current behavior. I commit to listening well, asking the right questions to help you dig deeper, and serve as a guide. Together, we take control of the narrative by determining specific, actionable steps that drive change.
You were created to pursue extraordinary dreams. I come alongside and provide the right support.
What does all this cost? That’s a great question. I’ve served as a trusted advisor in a variety of complex situations for those who require bespoke solutions and expect more than a cookie-cutter approach. We choose your level of investment together based on the amount of space in my schedule I will hold for you, and can always ramp up or down if your circumstances change.
Called to Coach
I have been coaching for over 20 years. I can clearly recall being 13, reading Coach Phil Jackson’s book, Sacred Hoops, and being captivated by a deeper process of coaching. That path led me to coach basketball, golf, teens, and adults, always looking to connect success to spiritual formation.

The unoffical bio…
I was living a divided life.
I bought the lie once I became an executive leader: “It is not safe to talk about leadership struggles.”
I created a false narrative to hold it all together, but on the inside, I was frustrated, confused, and angry.
I was the ‘nice guy’ – appearing calm and collected – yet I was lonely and disconnected from my true identity.
I was terrified of being exposed as an imposter.
It took a painful wilderness season for me to see the truth. I had a choice. I could stay stuck in an emotional leadership void, or I could face my silent struggles, begin leading with courage in all my relationships.
Today, I coach executive leaders, teach on organizational health, and train coaches on how to be lead wholeheartedly by overcoming the silent struggles of perfectionism, people pleasing, numbing, exhaustion, and anxiety.
The silent struggle exists in all high performing leaders. Facing it is the first step toward waking up your full potential and leading wholeheartedly.
