Our guest this episode is Jonathan Marion. Dr. Jonathan Marion believes that when we LIVE, CONNECT, & COMMUNICATE authentically, we send out ripples…. which send out ripples…which make the world a more caring and connected place, one ripple at a time. Don’t you just love that belief? Jonathan grew up in the Boston Massachusetts area and then, after doing his undergraduate studies in California began to travel to several countries. He came back to the U.S. and attended UC San Diego where he received his Master’s degree and his PHD. He will tell us about that. After learning a bit of Jonathan’s history he and I begin talking about his career and, specifically, why he left academia after 20 years to begin a fulltime coaching, consulting and speaking career. He and I discuss much about the kind of coaching he does and we talk about a number of lessons he gives that I think will benefit all of us. I hope you agree. In addition to his other accomplishments Jonathan is an author. He also has a keen interest in dance. In fact, we found him in Portugal preparing for a dance festival and contest. Jonathan offers many life thoughts and lessons during our hour together. I think you will find his discussion and thoughts down to Earth and useful. Please let me know your thoughts.
