who is jordan?
Jordan is at the bleeding edge of where business is heading.
Cross-Disciplinary
Both specialist and generalist, Jordan’s work is in the in-between: looking at how systems and people interface, and identifying where small shifts can lead to massive impact.
Co-Creative
In uncertain times, Jordan facilitates a collaborative approach that brings people together to work for solutions—rather than providing solutions that work in the abstract, but not reality.
Emotional & Soulful
To solve today’s business challenges, leaders need an intelligence that goes beyond pure logical strategy. Jordan helps work with both thinking and feeling: unlocking real intelligence.
For decades, the emotional side of business has been seen as weak or unimportant. But emotions affect more than how people feel—they also affect how people think and how they can respond to disruption and change.
Despite the lip service about resilience, agility, innovation, culture and change management: without addressing the emotional side of business, nothing’s going to change.
So let’s change.

about
Jordan Bower
“There can never be real change unless we change ourselves first.”
For many years, I struggled to find my fit in the business world. I saw myself as too soft, too emotional, too introspective. In a world of sharks, I was a sweet little seal just waiting to be eaten alive. So I tried to be like them: rational, strategic, too smart for my own good. Fortunately, that didn’t work. With time, I’ve begun to see my sensitivity as not just a strength but a superpower. Intuition and creativity are precisely what our institutions need. The point isn’t to advocate for the “soft”; it’s to bring thinking and feeling together so we can unlock the greater level of intelligence that we need to solve today’s problems. As a consultant and coach, I help my clients discover this intelligence within themselves, whether as individuals or organizational systems. As a leader, I see a world where our definition of intelligence includes not just the speed at which we can solve problems, but also the perspective we use to define them.
In a world of monumental change, I know in my bones that the only way forward is to change ourselves first. I am always seeking willing companions on this often challenging and yet deeply fulfilling journey.
