LEADERSHIP BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE
Jeff Groenewald, Director of Development & Strategy, Listen Up TV/Media Voice Generation
I was initially sceptical as to whether we needed to devote such time to understanding our organizational ‘soul’, figuring that much of the ‘what we do, and why we do it’ work was already in place. Having got to the other side, I can tell you that this has proved revolutionary.We now have a clear, simple plumb line against which to measure every activity, goal, plan, or output.This was lacking before, and I didn't even realize it.
Jonathan nicely balanced the fine line of ‘facilitator’ and ‘here's my personal opinion of what you should be doing’. His balance moved us ahead on several occasions when our discussions were ‘stuck’
Jonathan went to significant effort with our team of ten people, to make sure every single person, and their voice, was valued, and included.
Lorna Dueck, Executive Producer, Listen Up TV / Media Voice Generation
“Jonathan's insights into our mission and challenge have helped us face the future with a clarity and focus that is invigorating our organizational soul.
He knows how to guide a work team onto its most productive edge, and it has made a world of difference to our outlook. We message to over a million people each month on our mission; Jonathan has helped us understand how to speak to each client as if they were the only one listening.”
David Larsen, CEO, Africa Media Online:
“Jonathan Wilson’s strategic planning process was revolutionary for the company. He helped us define what makes us uniquely us and what we can do that no one else can. Certain keys were placed in our hands which are at the heart of our business thrust today.
We found Jonathan a brilliant facilitator with a real gift for drawing us out and then encapsulating what emerged. We appreciated his wisdom, insight and leadership ability and we are in great measure a better organization because of Jonathan's time with us.”
John Sutherland, President, Ennova Inc
“Jonathan helped us gain great clarity into our business model. The “truth” we uncovered about our soul is simple, complete and provides the platform to develop a unique space in the market.
Jonathan’s work process was thoughtful with a tempo that drives meaningful results. His style is such that while we felt in control, we also felt comfortable to yield to his intuition that we hadn’t finished exploration on a topic. Very masterful work.”
Alan de Cerff, International Training Partners:
“I highly recommend Jonathan as a coach. He understands that in order for people to change and move forward choices and changes need to be sustainable. Probably one of Jonathan’s greatest qualities is to be meticulously well prepared and yet work with the client’s agenda towards self discovery.”
