Who We Are
Meet Jon Rector
Did you go to school only to realize you weren't fully trained or prepared for work? I remember getting my first full-time sales management job at 18 years old, and I didn't have a clue on how to be a leader. I knew how to sell but not manage a team. I quickly adapted and learned from others who were successful and piece by piece began to perform well. Even when I went into ministry and ran a non-profit organization, there was no class on leadership. I became obsessed with becoming a high-performing leader and quickly realized that leadership is more than being in-charge. Leadership is influence, and the influence we have can be used for good or for bad.
I went back to college and studied Leadership and Management, invested thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in professional credentialing, and continue to lead in the nonprofit sector applying the lessons I've learned. For the past 20+ years, I've led in sales and nonprofit organizations where I had to maximize every dollar and lead through others.
My name is Jon Rector and I would love to serve you and your organization with the same systems and knowledge that helped me scale our impact by over 400% in less than three years. I specialize in building a great and healthy culture, improve your bottom-line through employee retention and engagement, and bringing one of the world's best leadership training deep into your organization.
You probably have great systems and processes, but Rector Leadership will help develop your greatest investment–people! I serve C-suite executives, Nonprofit Directors, Board Members, Schools, Sports Teams, Small Business Owners with teams, and even pastors. Schedule a free call with me to take the next step.
I look forward to serving you and your organization,
-Jon
