This week on The TRU Leader Podcast, we're joined by special guest Jonathan Bennett, a former management consultant from Ontario, reflects on his transition after selling his company, which served non-profit and public sector organizations. While vacationing in Dublin, he realized the need to plan for his future, leading to a management buyout and his new role as an adviser and executive coach. He highlights the loneliness leaders often face and the importance of external trusted advisors who offer unbiased perspectives and honest feedback. Jonathan emphasizes the value of deep relationships with clients and the necessity of an independent voice to uncover overlooked issues. He also discusses the creation of psychologically safe workplaces where employees feel empowered to express themselves, fostering engagement and innovation. Jonathan addresses the emotional challenges founders face during mergers and acquisitions, likening the experience to grief, and stresses the need to support both founders and employees through the transition. He advises against making promises about preserving company culture post-acquisition, as changes are inevitable. He also emphasizes authenticity and integrity in business, recommending that companies attract clients who align with their values, while avoiding over-promotion. Recognizing misalignment early in client relationships and valuing referrals are key strategies he suggests for building lasting goodwill.

Guest: Jonathan Bennett: Advisor and Executive Coach In this episode, Jonathan will discuss how, when implementing major organizational changes such as mergers, leaders should be prepared for a full range of employee reactions–from denial, to excitement, to anger. For Jonathan, effective leadership through change properly acknowledges these emotions and engages in clear, frequent communication that explains both what will change and what will remain the same in the new organization. It's a difficult time for many. Including the founders or owners or C Suite team–who are on their own emotional path of change. For some it's the closing of a chapter, or the grief of letting go of something they nurtured for many years. For others, it's a payday and a long-hoped-for ride into the sunset. Still others are about to work under a new regime. Knowing where each person is at, and why, is key for leaders at all levels. Join us as Jonathan unpacks this with stories and tactics grounded in his experience as a leader, founder who has exited, and sought-after executive coach. Jonathan Bennett is an advisor and executive coach for purpose-driven leaders who need help solving their organization's toughest obstacles. With experience in urban, rural, remote, and First Nations communities, His coaching draws on 25 years of creativity and leadership success as a CEO, board member, and founder, and he is known for his deep-listening and his breakthrough solutions that create insights and new strategies.

Episode #359 – A Look Back on 2024  Hi I'm David Hirsch, founder of the 21st Century Dads Foundation and Special Fathers Network as well as host of the Special Fathers Network Dad To Dad Podcast.   Happy New Year and welcome to the first episode of 2025.   Tom Couch, the editor and producer of the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast, and I, thought we would do something special and provide a Look Back on 2024.   In total we produced 72 episodes, 52 were weekly episodes airing on Fridays and for 20 weeks from May through September we produced a series of short episodes with SFN Mentor Fathers who are also involved with the SFN Mastermind Group program.  We called them SFN Mastermind Group Monday Podcasts.    While we'd love to include a snippet from all 70+ episodes, to keep it more concise we decided to provide some highlights.   We hope you enjoy listening to this Look Back on 2024 Episode as much as we did producing it.   18 of the 2024 guests are authors.   Nine of the interviews included international guests, from the following seven countries: Australia, Canada, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Iceland, Israel and the UK.  Four of the guests are women.  Three interviews were with dads who lost a child including one who was an Israeli hostage killed by Hamas terrorists.  Two interviews included military veterans: a former U.S. Navy Seal and a U.S. Air Force Vietnam-era combat pilot.  And one of the guests is a Native American.   The episodes also spanned a very broad range of disabilities including; Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Rare Disease, Dwarfism as well as those who are blind, deaf and missing a limb(s).    Here is a brief month by month recap with a clip from a select number of episodes.   In January, we aired four episodes including a dad from the UK and one from the Cayman Islands as well as with Jonathan Eig, father to three, including a son whose parents passed away at an early age.  Jon is also the best-selling author of biographies on: Muhammad Ali, Lou Gehrig, and MLK.   In February, we aired four episodes including one with Dave Jereb of Sydney, Australia, a Physical Therapist, co-founder of Move About Therapies and author of the book: Challenging The Story.

entrepreneur.  He and his wife Kristin have two children with disability and are the co-authors of How To Build A Thriving Marriage As You Care For Children With Disabilities.  And in December we did four episodes including one with former U.S. Navy Seal Phillip Koontz who is a business owner, leadership coach and speaker, father of five including an Autistic son and author of the book: The Truth Behind My Trident, which provides a fascinating look behind the curtain of the life as a U.S. Navy Seal.  We also interviewed Emma Livingstone of London, England who is the mother of three typical kids, who herself has Cerebral Palsy and is founder and CEO of UP - The Adult Movement For Adults With Cerebral Palsy.   All in all 2024 was an extraordinary year for the 21st Century Dads Foundation
