Jonathan stood out as a game-changer in the realm of strategic planning. Unlike previous sessions, his talk was refreshingly challenging, encouraging us to excel for our companies, employees, and ourselves.

Jonathan Stanley was a speaker at the Pennsylvania Bus Association’s Annual Conference in June of 2022 in State College. His speech “Why Your Story Matters” gave our association members a different, thought-provoking perspective beyond their daily work and industry. It expanded their minds with profound knowledge. His presentation was not only inspirational, but it was also sprinkled with humor and visuals that kept the audience’s attention. He received wonderful feedback from our post-meeting survey. Key takeaways from his presentation included while defining your narrative, know your audience, give your employees meaning and a reason why your customers choose you. I recommend Jonathan as a speaker for your event, regardless of industry.

Jonathan's presentation at the industry conference was truly inspiring. I was taken aback by his openness in discussing how his brother's suicide led him to reflect on his own purpose and the meaning he wished to bring to others through "Why Your Story Matters." His heartfelt story deeply touched me, emphasizing the importance of leading with care, compassion, and empathy. His talk was both thought-provoking and invigorating, resonating strongly with industry leaders. It served as a powerful reminder that, amidst the daily chaos of operations, we are all human beings seeking belonging and value. I highly recommend him as a speaker.
