Turning Resilience into Purpose
Coaching and facilitation to help people and purpose-driven organizations manage stress, resolve conflict, and navigate change.
Path of Wisdom Coaching is a Portland-based, trauma-informed resilience coaching practice that supports individuals, leaders, teams, and small non-profit organizations as they navigate stress, change, conflict, strained relationships, and disconnection.
At Path of Wisdom, individuals, teams, and non-profit organizations facing conflict can pause, reflect, and begin to rebuild steadiness, clarity, and purpose at their own pace.
Path of Wisdom offers coaching, workshops, and training to support individuals and organizations seeking sustainable personal and professional growth. We recognize each person’s unique wisdom and every organization’s purpose. Our programs offer a welcoming environment where you can fully engage and bring your history, identity, and relationships into the process.
We help you reduce the impact of difficulty, crisis, and overwhelm. We help you refocus on your priorities and develop concrete actions. We encourage you to view your emotions, body, and relationships as valuable sources of insight into your needs, values, and potential changes. This approach is for purpose-driven individuals and organizations who may feel tired, disconnected, or uncertain about next steps.
Turning Impasse into Opportunity
How change begins
Slow down and notice
Change often begins by slowing down enough to notice what has been hard to hear beneath the noise of conflict, stress, expectations, and responsibility.
Reconnect with your Values
Our partnership explores what your experience is telling you and helps you reconnect with the values that can guide you forward.
Explore Next Steps
From there, we can explore choices and practices that feel more aligned and kinder to yourself.
What becomes possible
With time, this work can help you:
Feel more connected to yourself and your own inner steadiness
Find daily rhythms that feel more sustainable
Meet hard conversations and decisions with greater clarity and care
Rebuild a life or team that matches your values, not just one focused on getting by
Understand your emotions with more compassion and less fear or self-judgment
Respond to stress, change, and conflict in ways that reflect who you are and what matters most to you
The goal is not perfection or a quick fix. It is about finding a way of living that feels more honest, grounded, and sustainable in your real life.

"Jonathan Strong is an incredibly gifted and talented facilitator and coach. His presence is immediately calming, and he uses this peace to establish earnest and genuine rapport, which in turn leads to deeply reflective conversations. Jonathan has the incredible ability to intuit an individual's and organizations’ concerns and help them reflect and define the path forward. He doesn't fix their problems for them, rather, he empowers them to own their success! I cannot recommend Jonathan strongly enough; he's an incredible human!"
