%Jonathan White Speaks

Some stories need to be told

Most high performers are good at pushing through. Fewer are good at knowing when to stop. Jonathan White speaks to the gap between outward success and inner fulfillment; drawing on real experience as a founder, attorney, and leader who learned many of these lessons the hard way.

What Brings You Here Matters

If you're looking for a speaker who will move your audience and leave them with something they can actually use, you're in the right place. Jonathan speaks to leaders, founders, and high performers on the patterns that quietly limit what they're capable of — and what it takes to change them.

“You honor me and everyone in your audience with your honesty and vulnerability. You are going to change lives.”

Simone Fulmer Gaus, Author, Speaker, Attorney
