Meet Jovan
The person behind the stage.
Jovan Glasgow helps leaders take their people through change, so it actually sticks. Caribbean-born, Fortune 500-tested and the creator of the Belief-Behavior Gap™, he has spent 13+ years building leaders across 100+ organizations. His work goes deeper than motivation: change the belief, and the behavior holds.
