“In the 16 years that I’ve worked as a outdoor educator, chief instructor and course director for many professional outdoor organizations, I have never worked with anyone else as well balanced, skilled and powerful in the combined roles of educator, healer, and facilitator as Jayson Gaddis, and I mean that. His ability to respond clearly with tremendous insight, skill and humility to intense or even complicated situations among participants is deeply touching and greatly inspirational. His contagious sense of humor, and his obvious commitment and joy for this kind of work make him a rather rare gem, and I’m a better man personally and professionally for getting to work with him.”
–Michael Vladeck, Counselor and Coach, Bringing Forth Personal Coaching and Counseling
Jayson Gaddis, Licensed Professional Counselor, is a part time stay-at-home dadpreneur, blogger, men’s visionary, and urban shaman who is helping foster in a new masculine paradigm. He is committed to love, consciousness, and truth in all men everywhere. Jayson is founder and chief visionary of the first ever Evolving Men’s Conference to happen in Boulder, Colorado September 25-26, 2010.
Passionate about helping men, Jayson writes a popular, unconventional men’s personal development blog and is a contributing writer for MadePossible, a dynamic new men’s magazine for men in their 20’s and 30’s. He has also written for Primer Magazine, Elephant Journal, and The Good Men Project.
He began facilitating “men’s work” as a fraternity leadership consultant traveling the country helping young fraternity men lead more effectively. Jayson has led over 25 wilderness rites-of-passage trips with men of all ages. He spent over ten years working with at-risk boys in a variety of settings and used to spend over 200 days per year sleeping on the earth, working in the woods.
Each year leads a 6-month Men’s Leadership Training, blowing up the weekend workshop mentality. According to participants, his Jedi laser beam is “very accurate.”
Jayson studied vajrayana Buddhism for 5 years and is currently studying shamanism and other esoteric spiritual traditions. He received his Master of Arts degree from Naropa University in Transpersonal Psychology and Counseling. When he is not pounding vast amounts of yerba mate, blogging, or coaching dudes, he is with his son Lucian. He and his wife Ellen are expecting their 2nd child in December!
Jayson Gaddis has what I call the “hawk eye”. It’s his ability to see through the noise and BS of our lives into what really matters. Jayson also possesses a beautiful heart and tact for delivering potent feedback that inspires one to make brave, transformative changes. I’m one of those people he continues to inspire.

“Jayson is an unusually powerful facilitator and coach. He has the rare combination of a big heart, a sharply trained mind, and a generous spirit. I have watched Jayson with awe and appreciation as he has worked with both groups and individuals in a beautifully skilled fashion. He has the ability to lead a room, to inspire the best in others, and to spark positive change in the midst of chaos.”
