Client Testimonials
“I worked with Jonathan when I assumed a leadership role. With Jonathan’s coaching, I was able to think beyond the requirements of my current role, to focus on building the mindset needed to be successful in a more complex role. He helped me to identify and then work beyond the assumptions or “self stories” which were holding me back.”
Romit Jadhwani, Head of Growth Analytics, Pinterest
“I am extremely thankful for Jonathan for the ways that he has helped me to become a better leader. Left unexamined, one’s leadership skills and abilities can develop in unproductive ways. At one level, thanks to our conversations (and the readings he gave me), Jonathan helped me to see almost immediately the ways that I could improve how I lead an executive team and help the college to achieve its highest goals. The impact was almost immediate. At another level, Jonathan helped me learn how to be more self-aware and reflective so that I am more prepared to adjust my leadership style as needed. Every leader needs to be open to those changes on an ongoing basis.”

“Jonathan was instrumental in my personal growth from Director to Managing Director. He’s an amazing systems thinker, seeing many steps ahead in organizational strategy, to advise on how to best move ahead. His advice and coaching was helpful in strategic as well as tactical ways. I was able to talk through detailed strategic plans and come out with a better understanding of what steps would be most fruitful.”
