Business is about creating and fulfilling on new futures. The access to creating and fulfilling on new futures is effective leadership. This is because, while the purpose of any organization is to bring people together to accomplish something that they couldn’t achieve as individuals, it takes effective leadership to have those people discover how to operate as a high-functioning, empowered team. Fortunately, effective leaders are not born, they are made. Being a leader does not come from reading a book or getting a degree, and it is not dependent on position or title. There are many people who are in leadership positions or positions of authority or who have decision rights, who are not BEING leaders. Jonathan Clark's leadership development services create an exceptionally powerful framework for leadership that deals with the real drivers of performance (people & culture) and activates incredible energy and emotion towards a company’s mission. Jonathan is one of the nation’s most effective leadership development coaches. He has worked with over 700 of the top executives, directors and managers at Panera Bread, a leader in the fast-casual dining industry. For the past three decades, Jonathan has guided top executives, professionals and entrepreneurs in creating future-based organizational cultures of integrity. His work causes rapid innovation and breakthrough outcomes resulting from dramatically improved communication, understanding and respect of one another’s contributions and a powerful commitment to the future of the organization. It is real and authentic, rather than artificially contrived. It creates a future-based language of leadership that naturally allows for synergistic collaboration in service of the future you are creating and the direction ahead, scaling away the baggage of the past. Early in his career, Jonathan used his leadership development methodology to create breakout tennis charity events with Andre Agassi and John McEnroe in Washington, D.C., benefiting the Hunger Project, resulting in his “Point of Light” designation from President George H. W. Bush and a recognition by Peter Jennings as “Person of the Week” on ABC World News Tonight for his contribution to ending world hunger. Today, Jonathan’s custom-designed organizational leadership initiatives introduce a new science of leadership that is innovative and unique. His company promises the leaders in your enterprise will reliably think newly and act powerfully. Jonathan has worked with visionary business leaders from companies such as Panera Bread, Friendly’s Ice Cream, Motorola Solutions, American Express and the PGA of America, to bring out the creativity, talent and collaboration of their people in creating high-functioning, empowered cultures of effective leadership.

Prem is a mountaineer with over 15 expeditions across the globe in a short span of 8 years. In 2013 alone, Prem climbed the highest mountains on four continents, including Mount Everest (Asia), Mount Elbrus (Europe), Aconcagua (South-America) and Puncak Jaya (Oceania). More recently Prem was featured as one of the contestants on a NDTV Prime reality show "XC Adventure", which he won. Prem has spoken at various events for various organisations which include : EZSywpe India, Constitution Club of India, Aryabhatta College, Entrepreneurship Cell of Guru Dronacharya College, Indian Navy, Delhi Police Training College, TEDx MNNIT, Wheelchair Federation, What After College, etc. "We all have our mountains to climb in life, dreams that we want to achieve deep down, the one place where we want to be in life. But does dreaming alone take us there? Or do we need more than just dreams to be successful? What are the other factors that actually determine whether or not you will achieve your goals? What are the ingredients for success? Drawing parallels from his experience of having climbed the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, plus many more peaks across the globe, mountaineer Prem Kumar Singh reflects on the insights that allowed him to not only survive, but thrive in the extreme corners and conditions around the world. Prem's uniqueness is the ability to translate these lessons of the Far and Wild into an everyday language and show how the same core principles can be utilized on the path of turning your dreams into deeds, regardless of your line of business or domain. Prem distills his long and hard-fought battles down to simple Mantras of success that cut through the often fluffy and vague inspirational jargon and provide listeners with applicable steps to implement in their daily life. Through grit and discipline, Prem Kumar Singh has converted himself from a dreaming college-kid into one of the hardiest alpinists in India. Prem has not only ascended peaks in the Himalayas in India and Nepal, but in the far corners of the world, from the war torn lands of Russian Far South to the untouched swamps and rainforests of New Guinea, as far from the modern civilisation as anywhere on the planet.
