About Johnathan Loper

Hi, and welcome! Thanks for stopping by. I change peoples lives. I\'ve worked with top US Military, C-Suite, Olympic athletes, Professional, amateur and collegiate athletes, and under served youth in rehabilitation camps. I\'m driven to help people build self-awareness, resilience and confidence, allowing them to identify, understand and maximize their full, and often unrealized, potential. I\'ve thrived in a multitude of settings. I help organizations understand and define core values, clarify their vision, and insist on self-reflection. This drives increased performance, efficiency, and optimizes productivity, no matter whether in sport, coaching, parenting or a Fortnue 500 Business. My 6 year stint as a US Navy sailor imparted a sense of pride, leadership, teamwork, and drive unparalleled to almost any other life experience. Never leave a man behind is a tenant of military mentality. This mentality has driven me to identify and help business leaders find ways to motivate, overcome and inspire themselves, and those they lead!High Performance in humans has taught me that we have everything we need inside us to get to the next level, but sometimes, we can\'t seem to get out of our own way! That\'s where I come in!I help leaders define and grow into the best versions of themselves. This enhances their entire business through self-awareness and personal growth and leading by example.The people want to blame the boss for everything, and the boss wants to blame the people. In reality, it\'s probably just a simple misunderstanding or miscommunication. Taking a step back can be tough, especially when ego and pride rear their ugly head. I help leaders understand this process, slow it down, and redefine how they operate on a human level, elevating their confidence, awareness, and performances across the board. This effectively changes the landscape of organizations, the mindset of the people in the organization, and ultimately the happiness of their friends and families. How badass is that? Self-awareness = Your Best SelfIf you or someone you know has been affected by toxic leadership, through the roof attrition rates, or simple lack of forward progress, I\'m your guy. Human performance is my jam. I\'m just looking for a place to play! I\'m here for you!Thanks again for stopping by. If you\'d like to chat more, shoot me a message. Motivated,~Coach J

   We can\'t find good people.\"\"Nobody wants to work.\"\"If we could only get the right person for that role, we would be more profitable.\"\"If he/she would just quit, we could have harmony.\"\"I can\'t wait \'til Friday, so I can get out of this place!\"\"Why do we have to be here, the boss is sitting at home right now and doesn\'t even care about us.\"\"I do all the work, and everyone else gets paid to sit around on their phones all day. It\'s so frustrating.\" We have heard these and SO MANY more! Luckily, people are more predictable than you might think. If you are in charge of hiring, how do you know who the right hire is? Is it personality? Is it work ethic? Is it dashing good looks? Is it because you grew up in the same town? There is ONE KEY to this lock!It\'s about role fit, both behaviorally and cognitively. Each role in your leadership team is critical to progress, and requires a particular type of person to fill that slot. What if you knew which pegs (people) were square, and which were stars? Would that help fit them in the right slot (role)? What if you knew this information before even speaking to them? How much time and energy would that save your team?At Straightline, that\'s precisely our mission. Finding the right fit for the roles in your company, saving you time, money, and ultimately propelling your organization to new heights. We are driven to make positive change.You cannot build a sound structure to weather the storms before setting the foundation. The people are the foundation of any organization. Setting the right people in the right role provides a sound foundation for your organization. We have mastered this art, and are excited to share it with you!Sound too good to be true? I did too, but science is hard to argue with. We are the best at what we do. If you have between 10 and 200 employees, you have a passion to make a positive impact, and you care about the people you are leading, this message is for you. Lets connect today!
