Jesse shares his remarkable journey of growing BER Technologies from a small startup to a 170-person industry leader, and the moment he realized he needed a change.

Today, Jesse uses his engineering background and IFS training to help others align with their true selves. About Jesse:Jesse Schuhlein is a former engineering executive who helped grow Zaber Technologies from a 3-person startup into a 170-person industry leader.In his mid-forties, he went searching for something more through psychedelics and meditation, looking for deeper answers about consciousness and the universe. That journey unexpectedly led into therapy, personal growth, and healing—and ultimately to Internal Family Systems (IFS). Today, Jesse coaches people using IFS, blending mindfulness and real-world leadership experience to help them move from chasing success to living in alignment.Contact Jesse: Website: https://www.rechargecoaching.ca/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jesse.schuhleinYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/JesseSchuhleinChapters:00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:51 Jesse Schuhlein’s Background and Journey03:45 Building a Successful Company07:30 Creating a Great Workplace Culture14:41 Transition to Coaching and IFS28:50 Naming the Man Club29:26 Recognizing Emotions and Discontent31:42 The Role of IFS in Coaching32:36 Understanding Internal Family Systems (IFS)33:56 Coaching vs. Therapy34:48 Client Goals and Parts Work37:11 The Importance of Self-Work for Practitioners47:38 Defining and Releasing Burdens50:33 How to Connect with Jesse52:56 Closing Remarks and Future TopicsLinks and Resources:• True You Podcast Facebook Page - ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/trueyoupodcast⁠⁠ • If you would like to be a guest on the True You podcast, please complete this guest application: ⁠⁠https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbHITeLbAD98TRhFPZzK2kStuHos5HFjOGBWAaTJjgVcEAGA/viewform⁠⁠  • Internal Family Systems - ⁠⁠https://ifs-institute.com/⁠⁠ • Compassionate Results Coaching - ⁠⁠https://www.compassionateresultscoaching.com/⁠⁠ • Bill’s book, ‘Compassionate Results Guidebook’ - ⁠⁠https://compassionateresultsguidebook.com⁠⁠ • ‘Listening is the Key', Dr. Kettelhut’s website - ⁠⁠https://www.listeningisthekey.com/⁠⁠ • Marty’s new book, ‘Leadership as Relation’ - ⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3KKkCZO⁠⁠ • Marty’s earlier book, ‘Listen… Till You Disappear’ - ⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3XmoiZd⁠⁠ • Parts Work Practice - Free IFS Practice Group Sessions - ⁠⁠https://www.partsworkpractice.com⁠⁠ • Contact Marty - ⁠⁠mkettelhut@msn.com⁠⁠• Contact Bill - ⁠⁠bill@compassionateresultscoaching.com⁠⁠🔗 Compassionate Results Coaching links: ⁠⁠https://www.compassionateresultscoaching.com/links⁠⁠➡️ To learn more about the Internal Family Systems Model, visit ⁠⁠https://www.compassionateresultscoaching.com/about-ifs⁠⁠ ➡️Join the Parts Work Practice Facebook group: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/partsworkpractice⁠⁠🔗 Parts Work Practice page: ⁠⁠https://www.partsworkpractice.com/⁠⁠📖 Get the Compassionate Results Guidebook here: ⁠⁠http://compassionateresultsguidebook.com/⁠⁠➡️Attend IFS Coaching Groups: ⁠⁠https://www.compassionateresultscoaching.com/coaching-groups⁠⁠📞Take the Coaching Readiness Assessment, go to ⁠⁠https://www.compassionateresultscoaching.com/contact⁠⁠🎙️Listen to True You Podcast at ⁠⁠https://trueyoupodcast.com⁠⁠ available on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube! #recovery #ifs #internalfamilysystems #ifscoach #ifscoaching #ifsmodel #partswork #partsworkcoach #podcast #ifspodcast #selfhelf #selfimprovement #leadership #richardschwartz #groupcoaching #ifsgroups #compassionateresults
