For 20+ years I’ve hosted mindful events and leadership training for over 1 million people with some of the top business leaders and wisdom teachers of our time - including Eckhart Tolle, Brené Brown, Lawrence Levy, Tara Brach and the founders of Google’s most successful leadership program.
However, in recent years, the richest medicine of my life has been the loving hands of others. People who have offered the space for deep listening, sharing grief and reconnecting with my aliveness.
During a particularly difficult time, an old friend (recovering from an addiction) reached out for support. He asked if we could talk every week, to support his recovery.
What initially seemed like a one-way request, soon turned into one of the deepest gifts of my life.
Every week, we walked together — sharing unexpressed sorrows, longings and listening deeply to one another. Over time, we uncovered a primary medicine: that our lives become meaningful the moment we stop pretending we don’t need each other.
Somewhere along the line, our culture has lost the safe spaces to care and support one another.
Today, we’re drunk on information. We read books, listen to podcasts and use apps on our phone - yet, we can sense that something is missing.
Many of us end up living in a 'flatland' of isolation, numbness and distraction.
In these times of unraveling, it is essential that we find places of shelter and encouragement. Intimate spaces to care for each other, grieve and strengthen our inner lives.
I’m honored to invite you into this community dedicated to nurturing your inner life and inspiring a more beautiful leadership.
As Parker Palmer said, “The human soul doesn’t want to be advised or fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed, exactly as it is.”
Today, my life is blessed beyond measure and I can trace all this good fortune to the loving hands of others - my family, my friends and my brothers Dave, Scotty and Sal, who I owe so much.
I now look forward to walking alongside you.
Warmly,
Jono

Embodiment
As we listen to our bodies, we make wiser choices for our lives and our leadership.

His podcast has appeared 5 times in the top 10 podcasts with a regular 100,000 listeners. Apple named it the Best of 2015 with guests including Michael Cheika (Australian Wallabies coach), Marianne Williamson (#1 NYT Bestselling Author), and Rob Bell (TIME magazine's 100 most influential people).
Jono was selected to be the Australian Ambassador for the Dove+Men Care campaign dedicated to reimagining men’s leadership and shifting perceptions of masculinity.

The Australian Financial Review called the Kindness Cards "one of the top 10 ideas for right now" and have been widely profiled in the likes of the Reader's Digest, Sunrise and The Sunday Telegraph.
Today, Jono offers individual and group mentoring programs for individuals who want to embody their own wisdom and leadership. A key part of his work is normalising the practice of grief as a gateway to creativity and aliveness.
