Founders’ Dilemma: The Emotional Journey of Selling a Business With Jonathan Bennett

Do you know that you may be jeopardizing your company's future by not having a succession plan? It can be a hard, emotional process, but your business's valuation depends on it.

🛎 In this episode, Jonathan Bennett focuses on the lack of preparedness and understanding among business owners regarding the multifaceted nature of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), which can lead to suboptimal outcomes both financially and emotionally. He shares his expertise on the emotional and practical complexities of M&A for small and midsize businesses.

About Jonathan

Jonathan has been where his clients are now. He left an executive role at a large hospital to strike out on his own, founding a management consulting firm. And, for 10 years, things were great. The company grew–became a B Corp and served hundreds of organizations. The problem was, he was unfulfilled.

After a successful exit in which he went through a management buyout of his company, Jonathan founded his coaching practice so that he could fulfill his purpose to create an intimate space for leaders who need to be listened to deeply. Jonathan Bennett is an advisor and executive coach for founders, CEOs and C Suite leaders who have a purpose in the world but need help solving their organization’s toughest obstacles.

Jonathan takes his experience as a CEO, board member, and founder to his coaching. As a feminist and social justice advocate, Jonathan brings a progressive approach to his work so that clients always find a way out of even the most complex challenges. He resides in Ontario, Canada with his family and two dogs. A published author, he’s written seven literary books.
