Jonathan Bennett, C.Dir.

“Starting a new chief executive role is daunting! I was determined to do it right but knew I would benefit from wisdom and guidance. Jonathan is fabulous! He helped me get my feet under me fast. His style is straightforward (no BS!) but never pushy -- he is gifted at finding the best in his client and pulling it forward, offering affirmation and pushback in just the right amounts. His business is very aptly named! Often, starting a call with a lot of competing priorities or ideas and a cloud of confusion, I'd get to the end of the call finding myself knowing, "Well, clearly then, the answer is X!" With perceptive questioning, appropriate "devil's advocacy," and reassuring reinforcement, Jonathan parts the clouds.”

“Jonathan operates from a place of decency. He is thoughtful, helpful and once he is invested in your success, he’s all in. I don’t know how I would have navigated my path without him. ”

“Jonathan replied to a question I had on LinkedIn about the coaching and advising profession. Eventually were DMing and he volunteered his time on a call. One call turned into two lengthy calls. I was interviewing for a position at Cultivate Advisors and Jonathan was immensely helpful in getting my mindset in the right place as well as working on my strategic narrative. I landed the job and it's the best place I've ever worked. I know that his insight helped tremendously! I went in with more confidence than ever because Jonathan prepared me to think differently and provided insight unique to my specific situation. For this, I am grateful and highly recommend speaking to him for executive coaching.”

“Jonathan's leadership coaching has been invaluable to me. As I became a new business owner, his sound, trustworthy advice and encouraging messaging throughout my journey served as cornerstones to my company's growth. I'm so grateful to have had Jonathan in my corner; his expertise spans across multiple areas and he's great at understanding people. I highly recommend Jonathan as a leadership coach: he is wise, intuitive, and always helpful.”

“I had the pleasure of having a great one on one session with Jonathan and it was truly insightful. His calming nature and insight allowed me to open up and see what was causing anxiety within me. He drew on the strengths that were already present within me to plan a strategy to achieve my goal. Self-doubt, anger, and fear can cripple a person. However, Jonathan helped me to see that my ability to show empathy despite how I was feeling was the right course to take. I was then able to handle the situation with greater clarity.”

“Jonathan’s passion and dedication to assisting both individuals and organizations with achieving their goals is infectious. He is bright, energetic, honest, compassionate, and genuinely well rounded. Jonathan strives in challenging and difficult situations. He is solution oriented and thinks outside of the box to develop solutions that work for both organizations and their clients. He is an analytic, strategic, and forward thinking leader. He also has a talent to remain unflustered in high stress situations. He is always willing to go the extra mile when working with clients to ensure that they receive the best possible service and outcome. Jonathan has many skills in his toolbox, including but not limited to: communications, strategic planning, facilitation, public speaking, writing/editing, and organizational/board development. In addition to his work, he also spends considerable time volunteering and supporting local non-profit causes that benefit the community. I wholeheartedly recommend Jonathan and would be only too happy to work with him again.”
