ALB83 – The man with the BEST podcast voice
This month’s guest is fellow One Percenter Jonathan Rees.
Jonathan delivers soft-skills workshops, strategic facilitation, keynote talks and 1:1 coaching, building on experience from corporate life including 14 years at Hewlett Packard, where he led a virtual team spread across the globe.
Jonathan helps build and improve the performance and resilience of teams and their leaders, facilitating learning through interactive & engaging workshops.
His first (serious) book: "The Resilience Toolkit: Powerful ways to thrive in blue-light services" was published in February 2019.
Here is a review from ‘Dr. Larry Mallak, Western Michigan University, Author of 'The Workplace Resilience Instrument (WRI)' “Jonathan Rees shows us through bright examples and actionable exercises that we, too, can thrive under pressure. Our own resilient behaviours can be modelled to match the situations we face. Although reading about what makes people resilient can be insightful, Jonathan’s battery of self-assessment tools provides the reader with specific feedback to be more effective and view adverse situations as opportunities more so than danger.”
Let’s have a coffee
Also known as free coaching as John calls it, Jonathan doesn’t begrudge spending his time with anyone as he is more than happy to help people. In fact he gets more happiness in helping others.
Ambition is a dirty word.
Jonathan explains how ambition was always a dirty word to him and that everyone’s ambition is their own and simply cannot be measured against others.
Lifestyle He has crafted a life for himself that works perfectly for him and his family.
Celebrating the wins
Jonathan had a tendency to only focus on the things he hadn’t done but joining the OPCC has changed that mainly thanks to the World Domination Planner, or he is now forced to reflect as he puts it. Stop forever climbing the mountain and stop to admire the view.
Resilience
The advice Jonathan gives is in depth and definitely a must listen for business owners.
