Transformation with David Brown Jr.

This week we continue to explore the power of transformation with my special guest, David Brown Jrs (DBJ), Head of Operations Support and Business Controls for the US Businesses at Prudential Financial. He is also an author, coach and one of the coolest spiritual individuals I have known over the years. He shares with us how he defines transformation, but more importantly how he helps others step into their own transformational spaces. By sharing his own experiences with transformation we learn the importance of going beyond the transformation itself and instead defining it by the change in perspectives of those involved. At its core, the alignment of individuals wrapped up in the transformation are the true guide of its success or failure. We also discuss the power of resistance and resonance and how emotions and experiences can shape our path to transition. David Brown Jr. is an authenticity thought leader who has served as an operations executive, leadership coach and consultant. He has over ten years of experience as a senior leader in small and large companies across the financial services, professional services and facilities management industries.
