In this episode of The Optimized Mind, Dr. Kate talks with Dr. Jonathan Marion, coach, consultant, and speaker. The discussion focuses on Dr. Marion’s unique coaching model and how this aspect of his life and career have evolved over time. Dr. Marion shares the importance of knowing who we want to be in the world at any given moment and knowing where we are starting from as both inform our ability to change. Dr. Kate and Dr. Marion take a deep dive into the “how” of moving forward through exploration of what has worked in the past and applying those lessons. Dr. Marion also highlights the power of “why” and the importance of flexibility in thinking in seeking change.

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. 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 exactly such transformations.

As a coach, consultant, and speaker, Jonathan draws on decades of experience teaching diverse audiences and is trained in Emotional Intelligence, Group Coaching, Positive Psychology Coaching, Clear Beliefs Coaching, and Body-oriented 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, now primarily focusing on Brazilian zouk.

Bringing all of this together, Jonathan is passionate about supporting clients and audiences in transcending external accomplishments as measures of success to live truly aligned, rewarding, and meaningful lives.
