Transforming Leaders. Transforming Organizations.
Deliver
Transformations
that Last.
The people problem is a P&L problem.
Human resistance to change is the reason more than 70% of corporate initiatives fail.
The people problem costs you money, time, and reputation.
I can help you de-risk your transformation by making the human element a predictable variable.
Helping you and your organization save time, save money, and deliver transformations that last.
IS HUMAN RESISTANCE DERAILING YOUR
MOST-CRITICAL PROJECTS?
Human resistance to change extends timelines, increases cost, and puts your success on the line.
Misaligned Leaders: Send conflicting signals that paralyze the organization.
Manager Capability Gap: Technically competent managers who lack influence over their frontline employees leave millions on the table.
Overwhelmed Employees: Show up with active and passive resistance that extends project timelines and threatens success.
When this cycle repeats, your business becomes increasingly resistant to change.
Hi, I'm Jonathan Block.
I’ve been where you are now: leading change in complex global organizations.
My approach has been tested and proven in settings like these:
In Business: As global transformation lead for a $15 billion financial services firm (Reinsurance Group of America), I guided the company through 19 reorganizations and 6 acquisitions while maintaining less than 5% regrettable attrition.
In Consulting: At PwC, I built the Trust Leadership Institute from the ground up, engaging 14,000 Fortune 1000 executives and influencing $1 billion in wins for PwC over three years.
In Government: I helped First Lady Laura Bush at the White House maintain her 76% approval rating. As a Defense contractor, I advised senior military leaders on how to flatten bureaucracy during wartime: 89% of employees reported it worked.
My role now is to help you confidently deliver transformations that last.
If you are leading change in these environments, I can help:
