Real Stories, Real Results

"Jonathan Eldridge is the kind of leader who lives what he writes. 

For decades, I’ve watched him show up with compassion and character—not just within the four walls of work, but in the lives of the people around him. Struggle to Strength captures the real-life lessons that only come from doing the hard work of leadership with heart and passion.

This book isn’t theory—it’s truth earned through experience. Jonathan’s authenticity, humility, and wisdom make this a must-read for anyone looking to lead with purpose and impact.”

"Relationships are at the center of everything we do. A key component of this mantra is self-awareness with the goal of understanding yourself and others.

Over the years we have invested in numerous programs focusing on that. Jonathan created the CARE program as a way to take all of it to the next level. He was able to complement these programs with a simple, tangible, and actionable platform for self-reflection and improvement. CARE has organically become part of Brooksource's DNA. I highly recommend the program to any leader who wants to bring team collaboration and professional development to the next level."

- John Causa, President of Brooksource

"I had the privilege of working with Jonathan through SoulFocus in 2025. 

He is a master of painting the full picture of how our internal workings and character strengths can be identified and shaped to enhance our life both professionally and personally. Through his coaching I was able to identify my strengths AND my shortcomings. In doing so I became stronger with my interactions with others. Not just strengthening my ability to interact with others but finding JOY and FUN in doing so. 

Now when ever i head into a challenging meeting or action I reference the CARE equation to ensure that the message I intend to deliver is the one that IS delivered."

- Daniel Hendersen

"CARE has been such an incredible tool in my life, and I truly appreciate the impact it has had. My husband sometimes struggles with seeing the best in himself, but using the CARE card helped him take a step back and recognize his own strengths. I encouraged him to go through the exercise, and as he reflected, I took the time to tell him what I saw in him too. It was a powerful moment for both of us. 

Even more amazing was seeing how those strengths became a key part of his personal statement when applying to residency programs. The self-awareness and confidence he gained from that simple exercise made all the difference and gave him the stepping stones to begin writing.

I also want to express how much the session with LCRM meant to me. It was an invaluable experience, and I’m grateful for the time and insight shared."

“I had the privilege of working directly with Jonathan Eldridge for the better part of two decades. 

He was supremely responsible for laying the foundation and driving the growth of a company that started in a basement and became a billion-dollar corporation. 

We are all incredibly lucky that he has chosen to share his tips and stories on leadership. His dynamic approach to service and authenticity offers lessons that should be embraced and put to use in our daily lives.”

- Ryan Hasbrook, Co-Founder & CEO, Eight Eleven Group

“Jonathan Eldridge is a powerful advocate for showing up as your authentic self every single day. In a profession like sales, where trust is currency and connection drives success, the best results come from being real, not rehearsed. Jonathan teaches that integrity, consistency, and self-awareness are not just personal virtues but professional assets. 

By aligning who you are with how you work, he helps individuals unlock deeper relationships and more sustainable success. 

His insights challenge you to lead with truth, listen with intent, and sell with heart. If you’re ready to build a career on purpose, not just performance, Jonathan’s message is the one to follow.”
