About T.J. Jones Speaker, leadership expert and author of The Caring Warrior

T.J. Jones is a leadership crusader. He has 25 years of experience developing leaders in roles as a teacher, coach, sales executive and Director of Training and Development. With a caring spirit, he has led professionals through multiple corporate acquisitions and change initiatives. From the trenches of the real-world, Jones developed his belief, “caring is the heart of leadership,” the inspiration for his new book The Caring Warrior: Awaken Your Power to Lead, Influence, and Inspire (Advantage Publishing, October 2016).

In The Caring Warrior, Jones discusses how we fight daily battles on the battlegrounds of “Internal” (self), “Tribal” (team), and “Cultural” (organization). With compelling stories, real-world examples and activities, he provides a call to action for leaders to become a “Caring Warrior” and make a difference in their organizations.

“A great leader has self-awareness and sees value in serving others,” Jones says. “You either see the world and others as separate or you believe there is enough happiness and success for everyone. and you want to help others find their own happiness and success to reach their own goals.” As a speaker, Jones helps his corporate clients develop a cultural blueprint where caring leads to trust, engagement, innovation and business performance, helping leaders and teams to collaborate and perform.

Jones uses an approach he calls “ActiveCoaching” with coaching clients and teams. He acts as a personal trainer for the mind and heart, helping individuals to own who they are in order to influence and inspire their teams and organizations.

Jones currently lives in Atlanta, GA., with his wife and four children. He is a Penn State graduate with a bachelor’s degree in speech communications, and he received his teaching certification in secondary English education from West Chester University of Pennsylvania. In his free time, he enjoys hiking and spending time with his family, movies, reading books and food. For more information, please visit www.tjjonesleadership.com.
