ABOUT STEVE GAHLER

Renaissance was born out of my own transformation. After decades of chasing titles, outcomes, and the illusion of control, I hit a wall—and finally asked the question I had been avoiding: So what? Does this matter? That moment cracked something open in me. What followed was the dismantling of everything I thought I was—and the beginning of something far more honest.

As I stepped away from the old definitions of success, I began asking a different question: Who am I, really? I had spent years building a life around what I did—chasing expectations, external rewards, and certainty. But what I uncovered was the truth I had been avoiding all along. And once I faced it, I couldn’t keep living the old way.

That became the turning point. I realigned my life with clarity, presence, and truth—and everything changed.

That transformation now informs every aspect of my work. I coach and advise those who feel that same pull—people awakening to the quiet realization that the version of success they were sold no longer fits. They’re not broken—they’re in transition. And my role is to help them navigate what comes next with purpose, clarity, and courage.

I created The Journey HŌṁe™ framework to guide people through the space between what no longer fits and what’s waiting to emerge. It’s a pathway back to truth—clarifying what matters, realigning how they live and lead, and helping them move forward with deeper presence and purpose.

This process isn’t about chasing a new version of success. It’s about returning to what’s real. Clients begin to embody what I call A Genius of Living—where life is no longer something to control or perform, but something to experience with presence, freedom, and flow.

With over two decades in C-suite and senior executive roles across media, digital marketing, sports, banking, and technology, I bring a multi-dimensional perspective to my work as a Coach and Consultant. My background integrates strategy, leadership, and insight—bridging growth & systemic transformation.

I hold a Psychology degree from the University of Minnesota, Executive Certification in Digital Media & Marketing Strategies from the Kellogg School of Management, and a Professional Coach Certification from the ICF-accredited Coach Training Alliance. This foundation—blending psychology, experience, and coaching—enables me to guide others through transformation with depth and intention.

Freedom begins the moment we stop believing in limits. Transformation begins with a single, courageous step. Let’s take that step together.
