Jonathan Raymond - GOOD AUTHORITY

How to Become the Leader Your Team is Waiting For Interview by Chicke Fitzgerald of the Game Changer Network as a part of the Best of the Game Changer series, showcased on C-Suite Network Imagine a world where personal and professional growth are one thing, where improving your relationships and owning your strengths at work translate directly into the rest of your life. In this provocative and timely new book, Jonathan brings together what he has learned over a twenty-year journey as an executive, entrepreneur, team leader and leadership trainer. After twenty years of not being able to decide whether he was a business guy or a personal growth teacher, Jonathan stopped trying to figure it out. He’s the owner at Refound, an advisory firm that shows leaders how to have a new kind of conversation at work, making the personal growth of each employee the starting point. Creating a company culture like that is not a dream. Through personal stories and real-life conversations, Jonathan takes you into the room with managers and employees where real culture change happens, and shows you a new kind of employee mentoring where each person gets the real-time feedback, support, and clear boundaries we all need to get beyond the patterns that hold us back. Combining his experience as the CEO and CBO of EMyth where he led the transformation of a global coaching brand with the lessons learned along his own personal growth journey, Jonathan walks us through a step-by-step approach that integrates the leading edges of both. You ll discover a way to lead your team that is both profoundly human and results-oriented at the same time. Whether you re a CEO or business owner, executive, team leader, consultant, or coach, Good Authority will give you new ideas and inspiration you can put into practice. Most importantly, it will give you permission to be more of who you are at work than you ever thought possible. "I hate to see people settle for less than their best self. It’s led me to a 20-year career of trying to bridge my two passions — to create a great business and to help other people grow. It led me to become the CEO and Chief Brand Officer at EMyth (the company behind the famous book), where I had the opportunity to lead the transformation of a global business and brand. I’ve worked in clean energy, e-commerce, and helped to found a non-profit that teaches mindfulness to at-risk youth. Refound (https://refound.com/) is my attempt to bring it all together — to share the best of what I’ve learned in a way you can apply. I live in Ashland, Oregon with my wife Aleks, our daughter Livia and our furry friends." The Game Changer is featured on C-Suite Network.
