Today, my guest is Dr. Jonathan Marion. He believes that when we live, connect, and communicate authentically, we send out ripples…. which make the world more caring and connected, one ripple at a time.
Having seen this dynamic over 20+ years as an award-winning cultural anthropology professor and author, Jonathan feels that how we show up is the key to living deeply meaningful and fulfilling lives– and now works as a transformational life coach to be a catalyst for precisely such transformations.
Jonathan is passionate about supporting clients and audiences in transcending external accomplishments as measures of success to live truly aligned, rewarding, and meaningful lives.
As a coach, consultant, and speaker, Jonathan draws on decades of experience teaching diverse audiences. He is trained in Emotional Intelligence, Group Coaching, Positive Psychology Coaching, Clear Beliefs Coaching, and Somatic Coaching.
Overlapping his coaching and academic work in powerful and unexpected ways, Jonathan is also passionate about and has worked as a photographer and partnered dance instructor. He is now primarily focusing on Brazilian zouk.
Jonathan operates as a transformational life coach, consultant, and speaker - supporting clients and audiences to transcend external measures of success to live significant and fulfilling lives.
