Consult Your Network When Pivoting | Nick Jonsson

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 00:00:00 -0600

Nick Jonsson's narrative is a compelling tale of success, adversity, and authentic triumph. Initially driven by societal expectations and a desire to meet external standards of success, Nick led major international firms before facing a period of profound adversity. He confronted personal and professional crises, including executive loneliness, addiction, and the loss of a close friend to suicide. This sparked a transformative journey.

From these challenges, Nick emerged with a redefined purpose and a commitment to holistic success. He authored the best-selling book "Executive Loneliness: The 5 Pathways to Overcoming Isolation, Stress, Anxiety, and Depression in the Modern Business World," which draws on his personal struggles to guide others facing similar challenges.

Celebrating six years of sobriety, Nick is also an accredited Sober Coach by the Sober Club in the UK, specializing in supporting grey zone drinkers to make transformative lifestyle changes.

Furthermore, Nick founded a weekly men's group, creating a supportive space for men to connect, grow, and thrive. He is also the co-founder of EGN, the largest peer network for executives in Southeast Asia. His impact extends through his roles as a coach, speaker, and an Ironman Top 2% World Age Group Athlete. His advocacy for mental health, physical wellness, and emotional well-being stems from his experiences and his commitment to helping others achieve holistic success.

Today, Nick gives back to society not only through his advocacy but also as a fundraiser and volunteer for a suicide prevention agency. He is actively involved in coaching other business executives to overcome loneliness, addiction, and to find their life purpose and write their legacy.

Nick's dedication to mental health advocacy was recognized when he was a finalist for the International Mental Health Campaigner of the Year at the InsideOut Awards in London, 2021, and he won the Sabre PRovoke Award for Southeast Asia in the same year.

Nick is an award-winning keynote speaker and workshop facilitator. He has been featured on over 100 international podcasts discussing his journey to assist others, and has appeared in more than 30 newspapers and magazines, as well as on radio and TV.

400th Episode! 3 Tips On How to Pivot

Thu, 09 May 2024 00:00:00 -0600

Welcome to the 400th episode! Woohoo!

I started the Team Engagement podcast in an effort to engage business leaders around the world in a discussion about leadership and teams. My vision was to include leaders from different countries, industries, backgrounds, and opinions. Men and women, young and old, new leaders and experienced leaders...all of them would be welcome to share their perspectives. I chose to ask the same 5 questions of all the guests, thus allowing for those different perspectives to truly stand out.

One of the great lessons I have learned is that people are passionate about leadership. We may have differing opinions on how to effectively lead teams, but the sincere desire to inspire and motivate people remains consistent among leaders. I am grateful for the 400+ leaders who take time to share their ideas and inspirations when it comes to leadership.

I look forward to continuing the pursuits of better leadership by inviting another 400 guests to join me for a robust discussion about leadership and teams!
