Photography
Jonathan is also a fine art photographer. He studied photography as part of his undergraduate major in journalism & communications. Today, he uses his images during his presentations to graphically illustrate key points. Bullet points are replaced by close-ups of nature and graphs are supplanted by a serene countryside. This turns Jonathan’s presentations into more than informative leadership programs. They are also inspirational, artistic experiences.
