Transformational Leadership Through Spiritual Healing

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 this episode, Jeff chats with Louis Enrique Negrón, Sr. about his story of self-discovery, spiritual healing, service to the community, and development as an executive business leader.

As Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, Louis Negrón is committed to supporting the young scholars who will become the leaders of tomorrow.

Using his talents in fundraising and networking, he develops partnerships with agencies in Metro Atlanta that support his organization’s initiatives to mentor, educate, enrich and empower at-risk youth. Negrón’s goals include establishing 100 Black Men of Atlanta as the protector of the city’s children as well as Atlanta’s premier African-American volunteer mentorship group.

Prior to taking on his current role in February 2021, Negrón already had more than 20 years of experience working with nonprofits, as well as a decade of experience in higher education. He holds a B.A. in Spanish from Morehouse College, an M.A. in Administration from Central Michigan University, and a Master of Arts in Christian Ministry from Mercer University’s McAfee School of Theology.

Negrón was named one of Georgia’s 50 Most Influential Latinos by the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in 2021 and featured in Atlanta Magazine’s 2020 list of the 500 Most Influential Leaders.
