Over the years, Canadian Michael Jones has quietly established himself as an inspired speaker and facilitator, accomplished composer and pianist, an evocative storyteller, and a fresh and gifted voice in weaving together metaphors from the arts to introduce new perspectives in leadership, learning and change. Michael is best known as the founding artist with Narada Records where his many CD's of original piano compositions, including Pianoscapes, Touch and After the Rain have served as benchmarks for contemporary solo piano recordings for over 25 years, Since then he brought his depth of experience in artistic and leadership practices to introduce new concepts for leading artfully to extraordinarily diverse sectors, including healthcare, corporate, religious, consulting, military, voluntary, education, municipal, and more.
He was a core faculty member with the MIT Dialogue Project and Dialogos facilitating programs in leadership and the art of thinking together. He is a charter-consulting member with the Society for Organizational Learning, a Senior Fellow with the McGregor Burns Academy of Leadership, University of Maryland where he is also chairperson of a knowledge circle on arts leadership and community and a Leadership Fellow with the Center for Professional Excellence at the University of Texas, San Antonio.
The primary focus of his work is to envision a new leadership story that involves a transformation from performance to presence, problems to possibilities, abstraction to beauty, efficiency to improvisation and instrumentality to the expressive power of metaphor and story. Together these awaken a commons of the imagination - a space of wholeness in the personal and collective imagination that may contribute to a more sustainable and transcendent vision that is creative organic and whole.
He has written two books on leadership and creative practice; Creating an Imaginative Life (Conari Press, 1995) (Trafford, 2007) and Artful Leadership: Awakening the Commons of the Imagination (Trafford, 2007).
Through his music, writing and speaking, Michael holds a candle for those seeking to find a deeper sense of purpose and as they learn to navigate a more complex and changeable world.
He has a BA in music and psychology from Mount Allison University and an MA in Adult Learning from the University of Toronto. He lives in a lakeside community north of Toronto Canada with his partner Judy, a practitioner in the healing and fine arts.

El sitio de Leningrado, que los alemanes mantuvieron durante 872 días, de septiembre de 1941 a enero de 1944, fue uno de los episodios más heroicos de la segunda guerra mundial y uno de los asedios más terribles de la historia. Los alemanes bombardeaban la ciudad cuatro horas al día, entre las ocho de la mañana y las diez de la noche, a la vez que la sometían a un hambre extrema, que dio lugar incluso a actos de canibalismo; en enero de 1942 la dejaron sin electricidad ni agua corriente. Hitler había ordenado que no se aceptase ninguna propuesta de rendición; su propósito era exterminar a todos los habitantes, ya que no quería supervivientes que hubiera que alimentar. Lo que mantuvo la resistencia e impidió que los alemanes ocuparan la ciudad no fue la fuerza del ejército soviético, sino la voluntad colectiva de sus habitantes que, a costa de cerca de un millón de muertos, supieron hacer frente a la barbarie, sin dejarse abatir. Michael Jones ha reconstruido esta extraordinaria historia basándose sobre todo en el testimonio de los supervivientes.
