This week we continue to explore the power of transformation with my special guest, David Brown Jrs (DBJ), Head of Operations Support and Business Controls for the US Businesses at Prudential Financial. He is also an author, coach and one of the coolest spiritual individuals I have known over the years. He shares with us how he defines transformation, but more importantly how he helps others step into their own transformational spaces. By sharing his own experiences with transformation we learn the importance of going beyond the transformation itself and instead defining it by the change in perspectives of those involved. At its core, the alignment of individuals wrapped up in the transformation are the true guide of its success or failure. We also discuss the power of resistance and resonance and how emotions and experiences can shape our path to transition. David Brown Jr. is an authenticity thought leader who has served as an operations executive, leadership coach and consultant. He has over ten years of experience as a senior leader in small and large companies across the financial services, professional services and facilities management industries. David previously held the position of Chief Operating Officer for a mid-size government contracting firm and currently is the Head of Operations Support and Business Controls for the US Businesses at Prudential Financial. He has led operating teams or provided strategic consulting to product and service lines that include credit cards, mortgages, facilities maintenance, asset management, government contracting and individual life insurance. David took time away from corporate America to train as a coach, while also writing his first book, Letters for Lucia: 8 Principles for Navigating Adversity. During that period, he developed a new perspective on leadership development that centered on authenticity. (2:30) How does DBJ “vibe” with the word transformation? How is this a part of his story?
