Are you feeling stuck in your leadership position or business and not sure which direction to turn? Jon is a Business Coach, author, speaker and podcaster. He helps successful business people get unstuck and grow their business. Jon has wanted to be a Business Coach/ Author / Speaker since he was 18. His dad gave him a set of tapes by Brian Tracy: The Psychology of Success and the moment they hit his ears, he knew he wanted to help successful businesspeople get unstuck and grow their businesses. Jon has been called the "business whisperer" because he can see what you cannot see and hear what you cannot hear at your company. He uses that laser focus to help you enhance, improve, increase and evolve not only your business but yourself.

Join Amy and Jon in this episode as they delve into leadership, employee engagement and the retaining top talent.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The characteristics of a great leader
  • The importance of companies having a business plan so that their employees know what the big vision is
  • What companies should be doing to retain top talent

Quote from the show - ''I think sometimes seeing their unique ability, seeing their gifts, seeing their highest potential, a great manager will evolve that person and raise them up to their highest potential. And a poor manager will see the potential and do nothing because they don't want that person to outshine them or because they don't know how to do it. ''

About the Podcast

Create Magic At Work®
Spiritual Intelligence, Conscious Leadership, and the Future of Work
Create Magic At Work® is a leadership podcast exploring spiritual intelligence, conscious leadership, and the future of work. Through conversations with visionary leaders, coaches, authors, and entrepreneurs, the show examines how leaders can navigate uncertainty, cultivate self awareness, and create workplaces that are both high performing and deeply human.

Many episodes explore themes such as transformational leadership, intuition in decision making, organizational change, and the inner work required to lead well. The show also introduces frameworks rooted in spiritual intelligence, including SQ21, the Archetypes of Change, and the Edgewalker philosophy. These perspectives help listeners understand how people respond to transformation and support leaders in walking the edge into quantum leadership, where business decisions ripple outward for the greater good.

Listeners of Create Magic At Work® are leaders who want to edgewalk rather than sleepwalk through their work and life. They want to bring their full selves into the spaces they inhabit, including their spirituality from a faith neutral lens. Many are founders, coaches, and professionals seeking deeper meaning in their work and lives.

If you care about leadership that blends strategy, spiritual intelligence, and the courage to walk the edge during times of change, you're in the right place.

Amy Lynn Durham

Amy Lynn Durham is the founder of the executive coaching firm Create Magic At Work® and Magic Thread Media™, a curated boutique podcast network of conscious voices. She is an executive coach and leadership advisor who works with senior leaders and organizations navigating complex change.

A former corporate executive turned executive coach, Amy blends grounded business experience with a deeper exploration of spiritual intelligence and quantum leadership. Her work helps leaders expand beyond traditional leadership models to consider the ripple effects of their decisions on people, culture, and the future.

Amy believes magic at work is not a metaphor. It emerges when leaders go beyond emotional intelligence and cultivate spiritual intelligence, learning to lead from their higher selves rather than from their ego. Through her work, she helps leaders develop the awareness and presence needed to make wise, compassionate decisions even when under pressure while maintaining inner peace.

She is the host of the globally recognized Create Magic At Work® podcast, where she interviews visionary leaders, authors, and change makers exploring spiritual intelligence, conscious leadership, and the future of work. The show often features what Amy calls “voices from the edge” — leaders and thinkers who challenge conventional ideas about leadership and human potential.

Amy is also the author of Create Magic At Work® and Creating Career Magic: A Daily Prompt Journal, and is a sought-after speaker and podcast guest known for bridging modern business challenges with spiritual intelligence, relational wisdom, and practical leadership insight.

Across all of her work, Amy’s mission is to help leaders make wise, compassionate decisions even under stress while envisioning workplaces where people and performance thrive together.
