ABOUT Jordan Bower
Creativity is my business.
During a decade of traveling the world, I immersed myself in the functions of creativity — like active listening, emotional intelligence, and authentic storytelling. In 2012, I began exploring how I could help bring these qualities to business. Since then, I have worked with 200 companies and taught applied skills to thousands of business people. Today, my work continues to be built on principles like experimentation, open-mindedness, and compassionate vulnerability.
INTRODUCING MY BACKGROUND
With a broad portfolio of business and leadership skills, my professional practice is about dancing between worlds.
Business Educated
I prepared for my career with a business degree at one of Canada’s top MBA schools. After graduating, I worked in systems design and operations.
Globally Minded
Beginning in my mid-twenties, I left my job to become a content creator. For six years, I traveled extensively while immersing myself in the art and science of narrative.
Driven by Exploration
Since founding my own business in 2012, it has been my goal to never do the same thing twice. My work life is evolving continuously — which is just the way that I like it.
I have a vision for a new type of leader —someone who can skillfully integrate both their analytical mind with their intuition, unifying creativity & empathy with action. My highest aspiration is to help others develop these transformational skills by first expressing them from within myself.
INTRODUCING MY THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Championing evolving leadership narratives for a changing world.
At the root of social and technological change is a fundamental shift in our collective narratives — about who we are, where we’re going, and what we need to do to get there. Against this backdrop, the old, top-down approach to leadership is giving way to a new, more inventive style, no matter which side of the political divide you’re on.
My mission is to help organizations envision how transformational leadership can be applied to their particular business context, and to provide the skills and guidance they need to make this challenging — and deeply fulfilling —transition. As an advisor, coach, speaker, and thought leader, the mandate for my work is to inspire people to think beyond limitations and map out the practical steps towards unimaginable possibilities for growth.

INTRODUCING MY CREATIVE JOURNEY
I’ve lived my own strange experience of transformation.
I began to think of myself as a storyteller during a long walk on the beach — a year-long, 1,800 mile walking trip down the US West Coast, from Canada to Mexico. That personal creative journey brought me up close and personal with the deeper emotional landscape of individual and collective change. That journey still resonates within me more than a decade later — continuing to offer insight and motivation. I love sharing aspects of my story in keynote speeches and podcasts.
