In this episode of Mission Activated, Aveline Clarke welcomes Jon Kohrs—design coach, consultant, and author—for a candid exploration of authentic leadership, transformation, and the intertwining of personal growth with business purpose.

Jon shares his journey from a childhood immersed in psychology and artistry to helping organisations disrupt norms and cultivate real human connection. They unpack the power of self-reflection, vulnerability in business, and the courage to show up as your true self. Tune in for actionable insights on integrating inner work and leadership, and how embracing artistry and transformation leads to greater impact.

Here’s a summary of what they discussed:

03:28 “There was a little boy named John... born to two PhD therapists.”
09:42 “We're taking these depthful humans... and putting them in this box.”
14:53 “Part of that is letting go of a lot of identities that didn’t serve them.”
20:42 “Love, to me, is how does each person fully exist as who they are?”
47:11 “Horribly Lovely... started as my inner romantic trying to communicate what it felt like...”

…and much more.

Here's some information about our guest, Jon:

Jon Kohrs, Author, Facilitator, Founder

Jon writes using the Enneagram to express the depth, artistry and lived experience of human transformation through love. He aspires to weave together spiritual and psychological narratives that are human, honest and uncomfortable.

Jon is also a design coach, consultant and teacher, helping organizational teams at the brink work in a whole new way. Using the Enneagram, teams unlearn old ways of working by relearning new ways of being.

Within his life, a paradox has existed, two sides always competing and unable to integrate as one. He continues to live into it, facing his own dualistic nature by being unapologetically authentic in how we love one another and ourselves as human beings.

What are you famous for, Jon?

My three kids are probably the only ones that think I'm unique. They would say I have a cool house that transports them to a different world.
