The Client Appreciation Series continues today with Jonathan
Bender. He has accomplished so much in the last few years…
I have had the privilege of watching him develop, step into
his own power and create a business that most business would
only dream of. I think you’ll enjoy his story.
Meet Jonathan Bender…

1. Tell us about your business
The founder of WholeSpeak, I have empowered thousands of
conscious entrepreneurs, coaches, holistic practitioners,
and other visionaries to get over their fear of speaking and
being seen, and to find their true voice and purpose. My
work includes public speaking and business coaching, and
combines performance techniques (acting/movement/voice) with
self-development and speaking
tools. //www.WholeSpeak.com
2. Before you attended the Big Shift Experience a year ago,
what was your business like?
I’ll answer that as of 2 years ago – when I attended in
2011. I was seeing private clients only, just locally in the
Bay Area, with small basic packages, and definitely
undercharging. I had a big breakthrough personally just 4-5
months before and finally was making a living, but just
making it – and ready to make a bigger splash.
3. What is your business like now (after the Big Shift
Experience)?
Now I have an international presence! I’ve at least doubled
my income, have created group courses, and don’t worry at
all about whether I’ll have enough clients.
4. What are you most proud of having accomplished?
First, my tele-summit, the Authentic Entrepreneur Speaker
Series, which had 3000 participants – and then my two online
courses created over the past year, Speak with Confidence
and Craft Your Signature Talk – with a combined 100 course
members!
5. What’s the biggest personal shift you have made?
Realizing I could really get known, be okay being seen even
more, and that I’m truly an expert.
6. What would you have wished you know then that you know
now?
All the pieces needed to create a great coaching business.
It’s all so simple now – truly. I used to just feel like I was
waiting for clients to show up… and not knowing where the
next ones might come from or when. Now I know. And I
help others with the same. It’s easy! (AMAZING.)
