CEO Testimonials
My journey with Jonathan-Rowan has been and continues to be life-changing. Somehow the topics always hit the right spot at a time I need it: things that I can’t discuss with just anyone.
What the hell should a CEO focus on? It’s a question I grappled with for years as our company and its demands on me began to grow. Jonathan-Rowan has helped me figure some of this stuff out and point me in the right direction.
I have had the privilege of being informed and inspired by Jonathan-Rowan over the past few years. His IP is unequaled, but his humanity and the deep belief that being a CEO can be joyful, creative, and energising and not just something to be endured are unique.
Working with Jonathan-Rowan has given me a number of new filters with which to look at myself, the organisation I run, and the people who come into contact with it. My sessions with him are ones I savour and the impact he has made on me has been profound and permanent.
Most of my previous experience with leadership coaches has been underwhelming: theoretical models, loose deliverables, trite commentary, and superficial analysis. Jonathan-Rowan is the absolute antithesis of this: the impact is fast, measurable, and deep.
Worldwide, Jonathan-Rowan is a pioneer and leader in this surprisingly untrodden field. His impact on me and the people in my organisation has been profound.
