The Who…
Leaders Navigating ComplexityWe’ve heard it before, “you lead people and manage things.”
Whether you are a well oiled machine looking to optimize performance or you are in the pit of despair, navigating the turbulent waters of leadership doesn’t have to be complex and you don’t have to go alone. At Rise Leadership, we understand the pressures you face stewarding both your professional and personal risks, responsibilities and relationships. Because we have been there ourselves, we have made it our mission to walk alongside leaders and teams as they address root issues (not merely symptoms), guiding them to unprecedented peace and success. Let’s rise and build together.
How We Help:
“What got you here, won’t get you there.” Dan Sullivan
We offer you clarity on where you are now, how you got there, vision for where you are going, and timeless tools to help you make the right decisions at the right time to achieve your goals. With empathy, we understand and support your journey, acting as your trusted guide and coach. Committed to continuous growth, we believe every leader needs guidance, and that we will never graduate from the school of self awareness. We cannot give what we do not possess and a company will never be as healthy or mature as its leaders.
Through tailored assessments, coaching, and actionable strategies, Rise Leadership empowers you and your organization to:
Build stronger foundations: Develop a solid base of self-awareness and understanding for what drives engagement for every leader and employee.
Enhance capabilities: Identify and maximize your teams hidden strengths and address areas for growth.
Engage for long-term success: Foster a culture of resilience and retention while navigating today's ever-changing environment with confidence.
The Why...My name is Jon Slenker and I grew up in south Johnson County, Kansas where I earned a BS in Business Finance and cut my teeth in leadership and entrepreneurship. I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina in 2010 to pursue a Masters in Cross Cultural Leadership, and settled in Hampton Roads in 2017 with a purpose to continue serving leaders in my community.
As a leader, I’ve needed different things from different people throughout my journey (and still do). Sometimes we need a port in the storm, other times a simple lighthouse or beacon does the trick, still other times we feel like we need a life raft. I find no greater joy than to be for others what some have been for me. I believe leaders are to pass on what they have been given and that we were blessed in order to be a blessing.
As an advisor, I partner with elite performers like you because I believe in your unique ability to shape your community’s sense of purpose and action. You have the power to foster engaging environments where trust thrives and transformation occurs beyond the bottom line.
Through intentional guidance, it’s an honor to be the Alfred to your Batman, as you live out your compelling vision and inspire those you lead.
The What...We focus on key areas critical to success that enables you to…
Empower Leaders
Increase Team Performance Scores
Improve Team Dynamics
Build Trust between Team Members
Strengthen Culture
“A Coach is someone who tells you what you don’t want to hear, who has to see what you don’t want to see,
so you can be who you always have known you could be.”
