Jim Willenbring, MS
CEO and Partner
“The path to meaningful change is paved with acts, not intentions. When those actions come from deep connection to your values, purpose, and ultimately your essential self, you broaden and deepen what it means to be an authentic leader and person. I relish coaching and supporting leaders in transforming themselves and the impact they have on others.”
-Jim Willenbring
