Grounded in sound leadership and facilitation theory, this coaching experience will assist you in cultivating the mindset, skillset, and foundational knowledge to confidently train others in leadership.

"I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Jonathan Kroll for at least 6 years, through both business coaching and consulting. What has consistently stood out to me is how thoughtful and grounded he is in every conversation. His work is deeply informed by research, but it never feels abstract or distant. It always feels relevant, practical, and human.  

Jonathan has been a steady and insightful guide. His ability to think critically and help me make sense of complex organizational challenges has been invaluable. He sees the bigger picture and has helped me connect the dots in ways that are both strategic and meaningful. He never rushes to offer quick solutions. Instead, he creates space for reflection and exploration.  

One of the qualities I appreciate most is his presence. He is an exceptional listener. I always feel heard and understood when we work together, and that experience alone has had a positive impact on my leadership and the way I show up in my work. Through my coaching with Jonathan, I’ve grown in how I think and how I lead. If you are looking for someone who brings wisdom, depth, and real partnership to the table, I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough."

The "Training Story" Framework

The select coachees who have an opportunity to work with Jonathan Kroll become intimately familiar with the "Training Story" Framework as they enhance their competencies in facilitating experiential learning and reflective dialogue - the cornerstones of dynamic and engaging learning experiences. Through the coaching program, coachees will confidently craft "training stories" that captivate training participants and enable them to enjoy and maximize their training.

"Jonathan Kroll offered me insights that have transformed how I conduct myself at work...Any question I had, Jonathan provided a clear and concise answer; but he would always leave room for my own discover in the process. It felt like we were on a journey of discovery together. I highly recommend any organization to utilize his skills and knowledge."
