Talks by Jonathan Rosen, Director, TransFormance Theatre

Drawing on his pioneering experience with TransFormance Theatre Programs around the country, Jonathan entertains and inspires your audience with hard-hitting, deeply moving stories and insights from people and organizations in transformation.

His use of improvisational theatre to enact personal stories -- especially those of people facing the turbulences of change -- gives him a unique perspective on the challenges to and responses from companies and their people on the front lines.

Jonathan customizes his material to address the specific themes of your agenda. Under the general heading of Reports from the Front, his topics include the following:

Leadership as a performing art
A leader must be able to tell the story of what her organization is all about – where it is going, why, and how it will get there – in a way that both includes and inspires the people who will make it happen.
Such communication depends on the leader’s qualities of openness, authenticity, and vision. This talk explores
what leaders can learn from performing artists about inspired communication.

Connecting who we are with what we do
In this chronically uncertain world, success requires constant adaptability. The only security is in knowing
deeply who we are and how to stay connected to that knowledge in everything we do – from the workplace and
community, to the family, to the private counsels of our soul. Drawing on his 25 years as a meditation teacher,
Jonathan adds an experiential component to this talk: a group meditation (subtle energy) process that gives
everyone a powerful tool for deepening the connection between who we are and what we do.

Building sustainability by making your company a blessing to the world
Sustainability is one of the greatest challenges facing organizations today – how to create an environment in
which people can maintain their inspiration and creativity, keep improving their productivity, and not burn out
trying. It is also well-documented that people do their best and are most fulfilled when they feel part of an
enterprise that is making a difference – a positive contribution to life. This talk explores how your organization can develop community service partnerships that will feed the souls of your people – while visibly enhancing the quality of life in the community, and accruing a measurable business benefit, all at the same time.

Living and working in a time of global paradigm shift
Our culture is moving from an exclusive, power-over, fragmented model to an inclusive, partnering,
systems-oriented approach. This cultural transformation impacts every corner of our lives. The new values,
skills and behaviors required for success in the emerging paradigm are the focus of this talk.
