The Courage for Difficult and Open Conversations with Justin Jones-Fosu

Chad Prevost and Justin Jones-Fosu sit down to discuss issues mainly related to communicating more effectively and openly with each other, but with a special emphasis on men. This conversation is meant to open the gates toward how we can have better conversations with one another, especially how we can be better fathers, sons, brothers, mentors, and leaders.

If you only remember a few things about Justin, it’s that he loves being a dad-e and giving to educational initiatives on the continent of Africa and the country of the United States. He believes that these are more important than any accomplishments, recognition, or accolades!

He is the author of Your WHY Matters NOW, The Inclusive Mindset, and his latest book I Respectfully Disagree: How to have Difficult Conversations in a Divided World challenges the reader to focus on building bridges to people rather than barriers from them. 

Justin is a former HR Professional who obtained his MBA specializing in Leadership and Organizational Change and undertook further graduate studies in Human Resource Development. He has also gained valuable leadership experience with three Fortune 500 companies as well as by consulting on strategy, leadership, diversity/inclusion and organizational development. Justin was named as one of EBONY Magazines “30 Young Leaders on the Rise.”
