About Justin
Justin Tidmarsh is an executive advisor and leadership coach dedicated to helping high-performing executives, changemakers, and leaders move from burnout to sustainable balance. As the founder of WITH/in, a Portland-based consultancy and coaching practice, he specializes in guiding high-stakes professionals through intense corporate pressures. Justin provides a trusted, expert space for leaders to set down their professional armor, break through cognitive overload, and align their personal vision with execution. Fortune 500 Leadership Justin brings over 25 years of lived experience driving growth marketing, customer loyalty programs, and integrated strategies for iconic global brands—including Nike, Starbucks, Best Buy, Target, Chase, and Lands' End. Because he has personally carried the pressure of delivering bottom-line results at the highest levels, he understands the challenge of navigating complex organizational change without losing your center. He effectively bridges the gap between high-level business strategy and the human systems required to make those strategies stick. A Holistic Coaching Philosophy Justin’s approach is rooted in the belief that sustainable growth systems apply to both business and life. His path has been uniquely holistic: alongside his corporate tenure, he is a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach, and formerly owned and operated a boutique gym. This multidisciplinary background allows him to treat executive burnout not just as a professional hurdle, but as a whole-body challenge. By bridging the gap between physical vitality and cognitive performance, he draws powerful parallels between the discipline learned in fitness, the empathy required in coaching, and the resilience needed in organizations. Drawing on his extensive corporate background and his lived experience as an out gay executive, Justin helps clients uncover blind spots, optimize their emotional clarity, and implement behavioral changes that protect both executive well-being and organizational growth. Credentials & Expertise Justin is uniquely equipped to support the whole person through an extensive suite of credentials: Executive & Life Coaching: Associate Certified Coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Certified Life Coach, and Foundations of Career Navigating & Coaching. Emotional & Cognitive Optimization: EQ-i 2.0® (Emotional Intelligence) Certified, ADHD Coach Certification, and Mental Health First Aid. Holistic Wellness: NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and former boutique gym owner.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know what it’s like to look successful on the outside while feeling stretched thin on the inside. Juggling pressure, family, and the constant push to do more can lead to burnout. I work with busy professionals and parents who want to lead without losing themselves. I’ve seen how often under-represented voices are overlooked, and how the systems meant to drive progress can actually hold people back. My coaching helps clients reconnect to who they are, find their voice, and lead with authenticity so their success reflects their true self. I’ve been the quiet voice trying to be perfect, the high-performer chasing the next title, the one afraid to take the risk. Coaching helped me change that, and now I help others do the same.
