About
The future can’t be navigated with yesterday’s thinking.
I partner with leaders re-imagining business and human systems for a world that won’t stand still. Rather than pre-designed theories and solutions, I combine systems thinking with creativity and curiosity to empower you to embrace the adaptive future.
Who are my clients?
01
Executive Leaders
I work directly with CEOs, founders, COOs, CHROs/CPOs, and CxOs to help you solve complex adaptive challenges where strategy and human overlap. These engagements begin with a “Future Odyssey” - a 1-day facilitated experience that transports you into the future - and are followed by ongoing facilitation and advisory services.
My executive clients have included C-Suite leaders at enterprises like King’s Hawaiian, Pleo and Dynacare, as well as many mid-sized businesses across industries.
02
Functional & Cross-Functional Teams
I facilitate skill-development and change experiences for senior and mid-level teams. I have worked with teams across the org: including ELTs, sales, marketing, ops, finance, HR, product, analytics, as well as cross-functional change initiatives. My specific expertise is in human-centered communication - “storytelling” - especially as it relates to transformation and change.
I’ve worked with 200+ teams from companies like Johnson & Johnson, Mozilla and Autodesk.
03
Individual Leaders
I support a wide range of established and up-and-coming leaders across a myriad of topics related to leadership developing, ranging from storytelling to self-confidence to emotional intelligence and beyond. These deeply satisfying and intimate engagements are highly creative, focused on a collaborative growth journey taken together.
My individual clients have ranged from the mayor of Detroit and a US congressman to CEOs, CFOs, thought leaders and emerging leaders across a variety of firms.
Jordan Bower
Jordan’s career has been a practice of intentional change. As a speaker, entrepreneur and change-maker, he has helped 200+ organizations and 10,000s of people connect to new ways of being by modelling those behaviors himself.
After graduating from the Richard Ivey School of Business, Jordan began his career as a project manager until he decided that traveling the world was a better way to spend his twenties. Through volunteer projects and self-guided exploration, Jordan backpacked through 50 countries, exposing himself to different perspectives and honing his skill as a storyteller.
When the money ran out, Jordan founded a learning & development business called Transformational Storytelling. Over the next ten years, Jordan acquired nearly 200 clients including Mozilla, Autodesk and Johnson & Johnson, helping leaders and functional teams develop their ability to communicate with creativity, emotion, and understanding of the humans on the other side.
During the pandemic lockdowns, when in-person trainings screeched to a halt, Jordan saw the opportunity to re-imagine himself again. He tore his business down to the studs and co-founded a new practice, called X-Stasis: a strategic advisor for a world of adaptability, uncertainty and change.
Jordan is a voracious reader and creative with a multi-faceted skillset including dance, writing, storytelling and global travel. He has won the silver medal at the World Championships of Ultimate Frisbee two times. Jordan lives in Vancouver, BC, with his wife and their too-adorable-for-words labradoodle.
