This week on The TRU Leader Podcast, we’re joined by special guest Jonathan Bennett, a former management consultant from Ontario, reflects on his transition after selling his company, which served non-profit and public sector organizations. While vacationing in Dublin, he realized the need to plan for his future, leading to a management buyout and his new role as an adviser and executive coach.

Jonathan emphasizes the value of deep relationships with clients and the necessity of an independent voice to uncover overlooked issues. He also discusses the creation of psychologically safe workplaces where employees feel empowered to express themselves, fostering engagement and innovation.
Jonathan addresses the emotional challenges founders face during mergers and acquisitions, likening the experience to grief, and stresses the need to support both founders and employees through the transition.

How do you advocate for someone you love when they struggle to follow their treatment plan? In this episode, Cherri Furness, a nurse specializing in chronic kidney disease, shares her deeply personal story. Cherri’s son, Jeff, is not just one of her patients—he’s also navigating his own journey with kidney failure. Tune in to hear how Cherri balances being both a caregiver and advocate, even when Jeff resists taking care of himself.
Key Takeaways:
Don’t Ignore Subtle Changes: Pay attention to small signs—they often signal bigger problems. While pain is an obvious warning, the absence of it doesn’t mean all is well. Conditions like worsening kidney function, high blood pressure, or glaucoma often progress silently. Early detection can make all the difference.
Make Treatment Plans Work for You: Adhering to a treatment plan is essential, but it also needs to fit your lifestyle. If it doesn’t, speak up! Simple adjustments—like changing medications, reducing doses, or modifying the schedule—can make it easier to stay on track without compromising effectiveness.
Honor the Angels in Your Life: Caregivers are the the angels – the unsung heroes – who often put their own needs aside to support your recovery. While your health is your journey, remember that you’re not in it alone. Appreciate the angels in your corner who walk this path with you.
