I’m Curtis Carnes.

I am a husband, father, author, speaker, executive coach, and the founder of Breakthroughs Groups. I have been coaching leaders for over a decade, individually and in groups. I want the same thing for you as I want for myself: a life of trajectory-shifting breakthroughs.


I have committed my work life to:

1) Proclaiming the reality that Breakthroughs are Everywhere, as a writer and speaker. Grab a copy of my book or book me at your next event.

2) Coaching leaders and groups to experience breakthroughs every day. Schedule a free call to explore coaching.

3) Certifying coaches and businesses to lead Breakthrough Groups that unlock breakthroughs in their clients and businesses. Schedule a free call to explore the Breakthrough Group Coach Certification.

I have created original leadership and coaching content used to train leaders and coaches. I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation, the world’s largest coaching accreditation organization. I hold a Master of Public Administration and a Graduate Certificate in Non-Profit Organization from Cleveland State University. 

I’m not just a coach; I am a fellow practitioner.

I actively pursue these breakthroughs in every part of my life: my work, my leadership, my marriage, my family, my faith, my emotional life…you get the point! I want the same thing for myself as I want for you: trajectory-shifting breakthroughs every day.

My wife Nancy, my son Jay, and I live in Cleveland.
