In this episode, we welcome Jon Simons—a seasoned leader with over 30 years of experience in nonprofit and for-profit organizations—who shares his wisdom on leadership, character development, and fostering authentic growth. As Executive Vice President at DBD Group, Jon oversees product development, training, and strategic direction while mentoring consultants and clients alike.
We explore the power of earned permission in giving and receiving feedback, the role of authenticity in leadership, and how to create containers for growth that encourage open and honest conversations. Jon reflects on finding your voice as a leader, the difference between leaders who know what they and others bring to the table, and why character development is about owning your voice and embracing your fears. With personal anecdotes, humor, and deep insights, Jon challenges us to rethink how we lead, listen, and build strong communities. Don’t miss this engaging and thought-provoking discussion!
