About
Greetings! My name is Jonathan and I am a multi-faceted professional, including being an Actor, Speaker, and Coach, but let's delve into that in a moment.

Before we do, it's essential that we get to know each other, specifically, who YOU are and your story. As you search for a coach, I understand that you're trying to determine whether I am the right match for you, and that is crucial. At the end of the day, we both want what is best for you, and that is what I aim to provide.

Here are some fast facts about me: I hold a BA in Theater/Psychology and have cultivated skills as a coach that help individuals quickly develop and enhance their performance abilities, whether they are beginners or experienced, but not yet professional. Should you already be a professional performer, my coaching expertise can help clarify your aspirations and guide you towards further coaching and resources relevant to your specific level.

I have over two decades of experience as a pastor, actor, and public speaker, traveling nationwide performing various acts and sharing motivational speeches. I am passionate about communicating creatively and effectively to provoke thought and initiate potential opportunities for people of all backgrounds and beliefs. My faith is dear to me, but I work comfortably alongside anyone, young or old, male or female, to help them realize their potential and communicate effectively.

My coaching approach is geared towards understanding what motivates individuals to offer help to others and how best to communicate those insights clearly to bring about positive change. I am committed to maintaining authenticity and clarity in my feedback, which is often communicated non-verbally, as well as through spoken words. If, for whatever reason, you're not satisfied with our partnership, I assure you that I will promptly refund your investment.

The bottom line is, I am dedicated to collaborating with you to bring out your personal best and accomplish your speaking goals. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you soon.
