More About Me

My name is Garrett Means

I am a passionate advocate for human potential and strategic optimist. I've devoted my life to learning how to help people thrive regardless of their circumstances.

My journey has taken me through a degree in neurobiology, physiology and behavior, emergency medicine, international service, global healthcare, and years of positive psychology coach training.

Along the way I became extremely burnt out. My frustration grew when all of my efforts kept me feeling stuck. I kept focusing on what I was doing wrong in the past as a way to try and move forward. I wanted to get better at manifesting my aspirations over the long term by focusing on my passion and perseverance. My clarity built as I realized the power of a goal-oriented, solution-focused approach in leveraging my strengths to help me take more control of my actions towards my goals and improve the quality of life along the way.

Coaching helped me realize the best of what human beings are capable of and how we can transcend from suffering to thriving in an instant. Means To Thrive was born from the breakthroughs I had from immersing myself in the sciences and applications of coaching psychology, neurocognitive behavior, strategic family therapy and positive psychology. The practical tools I learned helped me harness my innate strengths to create strategic actions that produced the results I had been previously been stuck longing for. 

This is the service I wished I had come across earlier in my own journey and its what I know has the potential to help in yours. If for any reason you don’t find clarity here then I hope to help you find the next step in that which does from my familiarity with resources complimentary to this.

​

My aim is to help you cut down the frustration and time wasted not knowing how to leverage the best of yourself to get what you want out of this life. Know yourself, then take the actions to be yourself. I'd be honored to help you by sharing insights from a lifetime’s worth of passionate service to human potential and directly support you with one-on-one coaching along the way.
