Speaking
I believe that when we LIVE, CONNECT, & COMMUNICATE authentically, we send out ripples…. Which send out ripples… which make the world a more caring and connected place, one ripple at a time. Having seen this dynamic over 20+ years as an award-winning cultural anthropology professor and author, I feel that how we show up is the key to living deeply meaningful and fulfilling lives, and now work as a transformational life coach, consultant, and speaker to be a catalyst for precisely such transformations.
As a speaker, I draw on decades of experience teaching diverse audiences and training in Emotional Intelligence, Group Coaching, Positive Psychology Coaching, Clear Beliefs Coaching, and Body-oriented Coaching. Overlapping my coaching and
academic work in powerful and unexpected ways, I am also passionate about and have worked as a photographer and partnered dance instructor, now primarily focusing on Brazilian zouk.
Bringing all of this together, I am passionate about supporting audiences in transcending external accomplishments as measures of success to live truly aligned, rewarding, and meaningful lives.

Keynote
“Build a Meaningful Life: Redefine ‘Success’ and Live a Life of Alignment”
Abstract
Ever felt trapped in the perpetual rat race of “doing” and “achieving” amidst overlapping personal and professional pressures? Accomplished by external measures yet missing a sense of deep fulfillment and satisfaction?
In order to live a life aligned with your purpose and one that you genuinely love, you need to shift your focus from operating as a “human doing” to showing up as a human being.
By the end of your time with Jonathan, you will have uncovered the frameworks, strategies, and tactics to live a life of alignment and genuine authenticity.
“…had fallen into a rut of repetition and lack of vision. Working with Jonathan helped us take a step back and reassess our strengths, purposes, and vision for the future. We were totally transformed.” – Dr. Charles Davidson, Founder, Innovations in Peacebuilding International.
