Fabulous Facilitator and Speaker

Yonason Goldson facilitated an incredibly memorable session for a community of leadership consultants. He wrangled a group of 45 easily diverted people to be totally engaged in a wonderful interactive session. We like to call our weekly meetings the most illuminating hour of our week. By mutual consensus, the Inclusive Leadership in a Virtual World (ILVW) community agreed that Yonason’s brilliance, enthusiasm, authenticity, and accessibility made this hour one of the most illuminating of the year.

Hired as: Leadership/Success Speaker

About

A rabbi walked into a bar...

...after hitchhiking cross-country and sailing up the eastern seaboard in a yacht seized by the Coast Guard for drug trafficking) to enjoy a private performance by a jazz band that cost him the price of a beer.

No, this isn’t a joke. This is a life. And it’s only one small piece of it.

Rabbi Yonason Goldson has circumnavigated the globe, seen the Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Giza, and the tea plantations of Sri Lanka.

He’s hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and to the tops of the Sierra Nevada. He’s jumped out of an airplane and undergone open-heart surgery (but not at the same time).

He's studied at the University of California, the University of Edinburgh, Westfield College in London, and for nine years in Israel. Before returning to the United States, he and his wife spent a year teaching high school in Budapest, Hungary.

He is the author of seven books and an award-winning host of two podcasts. He also serves as Executive Vice President of the Missouri chapter of the Coalition for Jewish Values and is a member of the National Speakers Association.

Discover how his unique blend of ancient rabbinic wisdom and modern insights provides a roadmap to guide you and your team on the pathways of success and happiness. Actualize your potential to create a vibrant, respectful work culture characterized by collaboration, productivity, and common purpose
