Better leadership. Better workplaces. Better world.
Jason Meucci
Chief Possibilities Officer
People, Culture & Leadership Development
Developing emerging leaders to be catalysts for cultures built on care, connection and contribution. Employees perform better when they're empowered, enabled and inspired to be better. Bosses should build their people up, not break them down.
About Me
My name is Jason Meucci and I believe in you. I also believe in the power of possibilities. So, I love helping people discover belief in their potential, meaning in their work and purpose in their lives. My Masters in Organizational Leadership (Gonzaga University), with a concentration in Change, has been a personally transformative experience as I pursue my dream to work in people, culture and leadership development.
​
Why do I think of this as my life’s work? Because my mission as a servant leader is to be a catalyst and evangelist for cultures that enable employees to leave work every day and head out into the world feeling better, not broken.
​
This website provides an overview of my academic journey, professional experience and personal passions—which, yes, includes believing in the potential of others and doing whatever I can to serve them as they pursue their own possibilities.
