Where will your path lead?

Leadership requires poise, persistence, and intentional reflection. The reflection piece is where we get tripped up.

In a world where distractions are ever present and “busy” is the word of the day, choosing to pause and invest in team and leadership development is as important as ever; because simply put, a substandard team does not perform well. In fact, it is the core component that is congruent to the success of your organization.

The trail of leadership can get lonely at times, and it can be fraught with obstacles that no one wants to face alone. With that in mind, it's important to have good company for the journey. If you’re looking for a resource to bend an ear, help develop your team, or provide the spark to energize your organization, perhaps we might spend a portion of your journey together.

Every Journey is Better with a Good Story

From keynote addresses to dedicated workshop experiences catered to the needs of your team, you’ll find that my approach centers heavily on the illustrative power of storytelling.

  • Keynotes

    At the core of any good keynote is an engaging message. With a penchant for narrative, I’ll make sure to tailor a message custom fit for your conference theme or team development initiative.

  • Team Workshops

    Every team wants to be inspired. There are multiple workshops options to zero in on the needs of your group, regardless of if that’s a dedicated experience for your leaders, or a grander scale initiative for your entire team.

  • Leadership Coaching

    Offered on a limited basis, this dedicated experience focuses on identifying a goal you’re seeking to achieve and setting up a series of confidential conversations to provide support, direction, and momentum for realizing your ambition.

  • "We recently invited Jon to keynote and facilitate our all-staff development day because we've seen the incredible work he's done around leadership, strengths, building connection, and engagement. He exceeded our expectations in every way. He was polished, funny, and engaging. He also ensured that there were ample opportunities to interact with his content. I can't recommend him enough. "

Jon was attentive in the period leading up to the presentation and feedback from the event was extremely positive. Attendees appreciated Jon's engaging delivery style and the content and said they wished the session was longer. "
