Today we are heading to Indianapolis, Indiana to chat with Mr Jim Bishop, founder of Conjunction Leadership. As Jim himself says, he’s a normal guy much like you and me.
For 25 years, he thrived in the corporate world. He built teams, managed budgets, increased revenue, and facilitated over 20,000 hours of leadership programs.
As he traveled the world, working with leaders and assisting customers, he became acutely aware of the misdirected energy within corporate structures.
Instead of channeling energy towards solving problems and boosting productivity, many leaders divert a significant portion of their efforts into navigating bureaucracy and hierarchies.
In 2020, amidst global unrest and uncertainty, Jim discerned a significant shift in the value proposition employees sought from their employers.
With traditional work methods undergoing a seismic shift, he realized many leaders would be caught unprepared, leading to a diminished work experience for both leaders and their teams.
Recognizing the urgency, Jim took a bold step away from the corporate realm to offer his personal insights and coaching expertise to external clients.
Today, as an executive coach certified by the International Coaching Federation, a leadership facilitator with Blanchard, and a practitioner of the Leadership Circle 360-degree profiling, Jim draws on a diverse range of tools and programs. This arsenal enables him to serve his clients with a harmonious blend of science and art. His firsthand experiences and broad client base equip him to connect with any executive, while also challenging them to step out of their comfort zones.
