Last Friday, I attended an event where I came to a realization that I hadn’t really said “out-loud” as something I want to do: to help and support leaders through a leadership coaching practice.

Back in 2018, I started the Inclusive Leader project after my manager reflected that I was guiding new managers and developing leaders in a Distinct and Different way than my peers: Jonathan-style. The question has stuck with me since, framing my paths and decisions, “what does that mean?”

Guiding Principles

An impactful practice I’ve picked up through the years is the concept of Guiding Principles. These are—essentially—a framework for a team and organisation’s decision making processes.
