Why Leaders Must Stop Reacting and Start Leading

If you’re spending too much time putting out fires, stuck in the weeds of daily operations, or constantly answering the same questions, you don’t need more hours in the day. You need better systems.

What my clients are saying

  • Executive Coaching Testimonial - Jon Jones

    Jon Jones

    Josh’s ability to elevate people's strengths is core to his DNA. He has a knack for helping people succeed within their current systems — while providing encouragement and guidance to adapt or generate new ones. And he's able to do all of this with grace, humility, respect, and patience.

    I've helped elect Presidents and Senators, advised some of the world's most influential philanthropists, and helped build major companies and brands. And I count Josh as one of the most influential mentors I've ever had. I fully recommend working with him in any way you can.

  • Avi Meyerstein

    I've had the privilege of working alongside Josh as he led multiple organizations in some of the most challenging possible environments. Managing organizations during times of active conflict takes a rare leader and executive.

    We all frequently relied on Josh for his wise counsel, his solid analysis and strategic thinking, and his steady hand. He helped steer our network with his vision and values-based leadership. He was tireless in advancing our goals and often helped us re-set our course to detour around the next obstacle. And he does it all with an understanding nod and a reassuring smile.
