Jordan Hamilton
Professional Development Consultant | Peak Performance Researcher | Athlete
The summer of my freshman year in college, I was prescribed anti-depressants. It did not make sense. I accomplished a lifelong dream of playing Division 1 basketball, had supportive family and friends, and no obvious reason to be unhappy. But I was. Instead of taking the pills, I decided to explore alternatives. I read every book on self-help, meditation, and sports psychology I could get my hands on. The more I read and consistently practiced techniques, the better I began to feel. My performance in the classroom and on the court improved. After graduating college, I continued playing basketball professionally overseas and exploring the human potential. After my career came to close, I chose to pursue a PhD in Positive Organizational Psychology at Claremont Graduate University to learn the science behind the principles and practices that had improved my life. For the past 4 years, I have been combining personal experience with relevant research to assist individuals, teams, and organizations in improving their well-being, performance, and overall human experience. And loving every moment of it.
Mission
My mission is to empower individuals, teams, and organizations to maximize their human resources. I believe that the human potential remains our greatest untapped resource and in order to meet the challenges of tomorrow, we must first understand who we are today.
Jordan Hamilton Consulting is an Organizational Development Consulting firm specializing in developing employee engagement, organizational well-being, and peak performance at the individual and collective level. Through coaching, workshops, and interventions, my goal is to close the gap between where we are and where we would like to be.
Services
Executive Coaching
Coaching is for individuals who are interested in exploring their potential as an athlete, leader, professional, or person. Perhaps all of the above. The content of sessions will depend entirely upon individual needs. There is no set path, only principles. As a coach, I have been certified as an executive coach by LeAD labs where I have spent 4 years coaching clients and training future coaches. Sessions often incorporate mindfulness exercises as a way to integrate and cultivate healthy habits. Coaching engagements require a willingness to dedicate time, energy, and attention to personal development.
Teams
When it comes to teams, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. At least, it can be. As co-captain for Lehigh basketball, I was fortunate enough to participate on a team that exemplified the positive attributes that I would later study as a PhD student and applied practitioner. Team trainings focus on optimizing team processes, clarifying norms, aligning vision, clearing distractions to pave a way for success. Workshops often include assessments that serve as tools to create common understanding and clarify objectives.
Organizations
The pandemic has changed the nature of work forever. While remote work and hybrid models offer flexibility to employees, working in a virtual environment comes at a cost; the loss of human connection. Human connection acts as a buffer for burnout, emotional exhaustion, and overall health. Organizational trainings offer solutions to improve employee well-being, engagement, and connection through evidence based trainings. Past trainings topics include, Everyday Mindfulness, Play at Work, Flow at Work, and Workplace Well-Being.
