Partnering With Your Stakeholders To Create A Better Future

by Jeff Bond

At the core of my work is helping global business, communications, and people leaders create meaningful engagement with their teams and customers. Together with my wonderful colleagues at Chat With Leaders Media and People First Elevation Team, we deliver all-hands meeting support, content, podcasts, creative, cross-cultural training, speaker coaching, and strategic advisory solutions. We are committed to unlocking the power of inclusive storytelling, shared experiences, leadership development, and mixed media to help our clients authentically connect with their most important stakeholders.

Our core values—Partnership, Inclusion, and Empowerment—guide everything we do. By fostering strong partnerships, embracing diverse perspectives, and equipping leaders with the tools to succeed, we aim to transform the way people engage while achieving meaningful work.

Outside of work, I cherish time with my wife and three children, balancing my roles as a husband and father with my professional life in Atlanta, GA. Let's connect and explore how we can create impactful media solutions for your business.

In today’s episode, Jeff Bond chats with Patty Tucker, Founder and Senior Strategist of Treehouse Counsel, an Atlanta-based communications consultancy helping intentional leaders turn stakeholders into believers and advocates. Treehouse Counsel partners with business leaders who want objective senior counsel without adding the complexity and agenda of a full-time CCO or major agency.

Patty talks to Jeff about the importance of asking and listening to your stakeholders, defining and standing behind your values, and how shifting the values of your business towards conscious capitalism can positively impact culture, the bottom line, and beyond in your business and the world.
