June Luncheon: The Fine Art of People Power
Our speaker today is Jonathan Michael Bowman. He is an attorney and keynote leadership speaker. As president and CEO of Clear Picture Leadership® he inspires leaders to achieve a bold, clear picture vision, despite the obstacles. Prior to his current post, Jonathan served in a variety of positions in the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, including Assistant Attorney General, Assistant Section Chief and Section Chief. During his career, he led several departments to achieve success. As a result, he was a recipient of the Ohio Attorney General’s Innovation and Excellence Award in 2005. Jonathan is also an avid photographer. He studied photography as part of his undergraduate degree in Journalism and Communications. Today, he uses his art as part of his presentations. People often ask Jonathan, “Are those your photos that you used during your speech?” The answer is yes. Jonathan took all of the images that you will see during his presentation today (except of course the photo of him with a mischievous look on his face!)
