Lead transformation from the inside out.
Transformational Leadership, Storytelling & Organizational Change

Meet Jordan Bower — Transformational Expert
A masterful storytelling consultant, creative leadership coach, and organizational change facilitator, Jordan Bower helps business leaders develop the inner capabilities to drive meaningful outer change.
Most transformation initiatives focus on strategy, structure, or systems. But business transformation won’t land unless people come along for the journey. And people won’t come along for the journey unless the change is real.
If your organization is evolving — in identity, direction, or culture — you need coherence. Trust. Shared meaning. Narrative. That’s the work I do.
I help leaders and teams go deeper into the human level — so you can navigate complexity and disruption with greater clarity, connection, and evolutionary capacity to re-imagine who you are and what you do.
This is not “change management.” It’s not coaching. It’s not consulting. It’s all of the above — and much more. It’s business transformation from the inside out. And it’s essential today for all of us.
Thanks for finding my site — I don’t do social media. Feel free to contact me.
How I Help Leaders and Organizations
I design and facilitate bespoke transformational experiences that help leaders, teams, and organizations navigate key moments of inflection — the times when something foundational is shifting, and business-as-usual won’t get you through.
In the process, I help leaders and organizations rethink traditional change management by using a transformational approach to strategic planning and leadership development that includes high-impact workshops, executive coaching, and strategic off-sites.
My work is grounded in human-centered skills like creativity, emotional intelligence, and storytelling.

Why Work with Me? Because Traditional Change Leadership is Broken
The traditional way that most leaders try to “manage” change often overlooks, minimizes or invisibilizes the human element of transformation.
70% of transformation efforts fail despite well-defined plans
Organizations implement new systems but mindsets remain unchanged
Solutions repeat the past rather than inventing new paradigms
Leaders communicate what’s changing but avoid what’s really at stake
Change managers aim for compliance — instead of real commitment
Change resistance hardens into apathy, closed-mindedness and burnout
As the rate of change speeds up… something has gotta give.
I’ll Help You Shift The Narrative on Change
Organizational change doesn’t start with a plan. It starts with a shift in mindset. It starts with a story.
This deeper approach creates transformation that endures because it’s grounded in meaning — not metrics.
| Traditional Change Leadership Approach | Transformational Intelligence™ Approach |
|---|---|
| Begins with outcomes, systems, and structures | Begins with context, purpose, and meaning |
| Based on predictive analysis | Combines predictive analysis with insights from other intelligences — creative, social, emotional, and transformational |
| Communicates information | Communicates narrative |
| Focuses on top-down compliance | Focuses on inside-out commitment to change |
| Manages resistance through authority |
Builds resonance through authenticity |
| Aims for linear results | Aims for exponential innovation |
Who I Work With
Since 2012, I’ve worked with more than 200 organizations — from Fortune 500s and high-growth startups to governments, NGOs, and mission-driven companies.

Executives navigating transformation or growth
HR, People, and L&D leaders developing next-gen leadership capabilities
Functional teams struggling to align cross-functionally or make their analytical work resonate with stakeholders
Founders or senior teams redefining purpose, vision, or identity

Whether you’re in tech, healthcare, finance, education, the public sector, or beyond, if you need to communicate with more clarity, courage, and connection — I would love to help.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“What sets Jordan apart is his ability to address both emotional and practical concerns at once. His insight takes us deeper — and then guides us to the nuts and bolts changes we need to act.”
— Managing Partner, Global Design Consultancy
Why This Work Matters
Put simply, story is how we make meaning from change. And today the story is rapidly transforming.
My clients look to me for help when:
Strategy has changed, but culture hasn’t caught up
Teams are misaligned or struggling with communication
A high-stakes initiative needs deeper traction
Leadership wants to move beyond messaging toward meaning
The future is here — but the narrative direction isn’t yet clear
My Approach
I’m not a trainer. I’m not a classic consultant. I’m an intimate strategic partner who creates the conditions for transformational change to actually stick.
That means:
Holding space for honest, human conversations
Facilitating alignment across power and silos
Developing the capacity — not just the plans — for what comes next
Designing implementation plans that break the patterns of the past
Explaining it all in simple, human terms — as a story
My process integrates communication strategy, emotional intelligence, systems thinking, and deep facilitation. I meet clients where you are — and help you shift, together.
Meet Jordan Bower,
Transformational Consultant & Catalyst
Hi, I’m Jordan Bower — and for more than 15 years, I have been helping organizations achieve complex strategic goals like embracing innovation, fostering engagement, inspiring excellence, and increasing the capacity to adapt to change.
I have worked with more than 200 organizations, including Fortune 500 companies like Johnson & Johnson, Autodesk, Mozilla, Volvo Cars, and IFF, technology companies from start-ups to unicorns, non-profit and government organizations, and many small and medium-sized businesses. Along my unique professional journey, I have developed a mastery in topics that involve the interface between business and human systems, such as creative problem solving, leadership storytelling, and the unique art of guiding emotionally authentic, transformational change.
The aim of my trailblazing work is to empower business leaders and team to adapt to the emerging skills and abilities that are required to thrive in a volatile reality — and, in the process, to put down and retire an older set of skills that, though once valuable, are now rapidly declining in relevance.
I help organizations achieve these goals through immersive learning experiences that include short workshops, design sprints, and innovation labs that can extend into weeks or months long transformational engagements.
My work is distinguished by my emotional insight and deep curiosity and open-mindedness about the fundamental mystery of human transformation.
In essence, I can help you and your team build the capability and courage to change — and guide you to the practical strategies that turn it to action.
“Jordan is unlike any consultant or coach I’ve ever met. He pushes me to go to entirely new dimensions creatively but always then returns me to Earth to take practical steps forward. Perhaps more unique, Jordan knows when to push me and when to let me find my own way. These gifts, over time, have created a very special kind of trust.
Matt Landau, CEO, Here Goes Nothin’
“I was nervous as we intended for it to be disruptive. Seems like we hit a nerve in a good way. I've heard everything from 'best speaker ever’ to this was long overdue. Regardless of outcome, Jordan’s prep and delivery was top notch.”
Chief Operating Officer, Turnaround Consultancy
“Jordan knows his material inside and out, and he communicates it wonderfully.”
Workshop Attendee, Canadian Tire Triangle Leadership Academy

“Organizations that successfully increase the capacity of workers to grow personally, use their imagination, and think deeply are 1.8x more likely to report better financial results, 1.4x more likely to say they are creating broad value for customers, community, and society, and 1.6x more likely to say they provide workers with meaningful work.”
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
