Our leaders speak for themselves.Executive Leadership Case Study

The curriculum he's developed has changed the way that we think of leadership. But Jonathan is also very unique in the way that he can moderate and facilitate these meetings—I think that's what sets him apart from others.
“Jonathan and I first started working when we needed to help our people to become leaders.
The curriculum he's developed has changed the way that we think of leadership. We're addressing the gaps in leadership and by bringing everything together into a single curriculum that's unique to our company, it allows people to speak the same language, which allows us to grow together.
But Jonathan is also very unique in the way that he can moderate and facilitate these meetings—I think that's what sets him apart from others. It doesn't seem like it's a lecture, or like someone is just trying to tell you what to do. He really draws out the conversation and helps people be a bit more self-reflective, in terms of the opportunity— not just within themselves, but within the team.”
Author Leadership is not this corporate package in a box. It’s human.
“What makes Jonathan unique is that he's not corporate. Author Leadership is not this corporate package in a box. It’s human. The materials feel more contemporary—they aren’t stale. I remember the first time I saw the Author Leadership materials, I was like, ‘Wow, this is really impressive.’ It really sets him apart from others. You can tell that he's put a lot of thought and energy into this. There's thoughtfulness there in the branding, there's thoughtfulness in the materials, and there's thoughtfulness in the approach.
He's also personable and genuine, and I think that goes a long way. That really helps in terms of the conversation—pulling on the threads that need to be pulled on and helping everyone to continue down that path. Not everybody can do that.”
What would I tell someone who's considering working with Jonathan and Author Leadership? ‘Do it.’ It's as simple as that.
“The other thing that’s great about Jonathan is that he’s a neutral third party who is familiar with our team and understands the personalities. That’s a big difference and really helps him connect with each person as they work with him.
What would I tell someone who's considering working with Jonathan and Author Leadership? ‘Do it.’ It's as simple as that. I really think that what he has is special and unique. Others can truly benefit from it.”
