Long bio 300 words
Jonathan Raymond has spent 25 years helping leaders close the gap between knowing what great leadership looks like and actually doing it. He is the author of Good Authority: How to Become the Leader Your Team Is Waiting For, which Seth Godin called “a modern classic.”
Jonathan created The Accountability Dial, a five-stage framework used by thousands of managers worldwide to hold people accountable with compassion. His work has been featured in Harvard Business Review and he was named one of Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers.
As the former CEO of EMyth, Jonathan led a multi-year transformation of a global coaching brand, learning firsthand that the most expensive gap in business is the one between knowing what to say and actually saying it. That insight led him to found Ren, where he is CEO — an AI coach that helps people find the words for the conversations they have been avoiding.
Jonathan has delivered keynotes and workshops to organizations ranging from TikTok and Amazon to Southwest Airlines, Okta, and Panasonic. His approach is practical, confronting, and rooted in the belief that all leadership work is, at its core, personal growth work.
He lives in Encinitas, California with his family.
Speaking Topics
Signature talks
Good Authority in the Age of AI
The machines are learning to think. What’s being asked of leaders now is presence, connection, and the courage to feel — and that changes everything about growing people.
Becoming Who You Actually Are
The conversations you avoid become the shape of your life. This one is about the ones that don’t come with a job title — with your family, your closest friend, and the version of yourself you keep postponing.
The Accountability Dial
The five-stage practice that changes how leaders handle the conversation they’ve been avoiding.
Building Accountability Cultures
Why most culture initiatives fade, and what to build instead of another poster in the hallway.
