Season 1: 16 – The Leader’s Courage

The Illumify Game Changer

Jonathan began his Illumify Game Changer experience protesting that he’s not a leader. And yet after a lot of what he calls “digging”, he has illuminated a vision of a change that could be meaningful not just to him but to countless others in Europe and beyond. Challenging the status quo is no small feat though. This final Illuminate question asks if he has what it takes to lead.
