About Ron R.

I am a talent shepherd, a business development leader, an equity-centered career coach for leaders, a book publisher for first-time authors of color, a public speaker, a best-selling author, and a podcaster.Born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, I have seen the power of leveraging the people who care about me personally and professionally.  It started as a child of Philippine immigrants and watching my parents build relationships utilizing Philippine values like kapwa and bayanihan. I am a product of NYC public schools (Stuyvesant HS, stand up!). Public education is an equalizer to having grown up low-income.I thought I was destined for medical school after NYU but after 25 years of experience across non-profits, for-profits, and government, I have landed on using storytelling, personal branding, and matchmaking as my zones of genius. I'm an Associate Partner at Stronger Consulting. We are a social impact search and consulting firm. I sell our search and consulting services to K-12 and non-profit clients nationally. www.strongerconsulting.comI'm a book publisher. My company, Leverage Publishing Group, ghostwrites and publishes first-time non-fiction authors in nine months with NO AI! I'm not only a partner, but a former client! https://lnkd.in/e65s2AZkI'm an author. My book, Leverage the People Who Love and Care About You Personally and Professionally, is about the archetypes of people you need in your circle of champions to further your career. https://lnkd.in/eJNX_zYh I'm a podcaster. I'm on episode 44 of the #RONderings podcast, where I interview guests to learn about their stories, values, and beliefs. Every guest starts with their story and ends with their #RONdering, the value/belief they want to share with the audience. The middle of the interview is all improv with me getting curious about the guest and their story. https://lnkd.in/ex_hRK-DI'm a career/leadership/equity coach. I have been supporting leaders and jobseekers for the last 20 years to find their next career move, improve their leadership practice, and amplify their equity lens. I use a combination of intuition and practical wisdom to support my clients. I'm a fitness enthusiast. I have been powerlifting for three years, and my goal is to have a 1500 lb total for my bench press, squat, and deadlift by the end of 2025. I have done obstacle course races, martial arts, yoga, pilates, barre, running, etc. Follow me on IG to see more: https://lnkd.in/efDGuVzr

    I've started a media company called Leverage Publishing Group and my aim is to publish people who are ready to make an investment for their voices to be amplified to the world!I had been wanting to write a book for YEARS and had never gotten around to doing it because it felt daunting. I'm not a "writer" who sits down and writes for hours. I even went through a book-writing workshop some years back! In going through my own process of having Leverage ghostwritten and published, I realized that having the right people take notes of my voice and provide the structure to write my book into existence is what I needed. I have gotten the credibility of an MBA or a doctorate for a 10th of the cost.Learn more here: https://leveragepublishinggroup.com/

    Author: Leverage the People Who Love and Care About You Personally and ProfessionallyLeverage is a book that is written like a conversation. It starts to unfold with the lessons from Ron's unique childhood teachers, and it continues to unwrap transformation stories and eureka moments, until the reader is left with a simple path towards realizing their own dreams and aspirations.Convincing yet open, friendly yet full of edge, Ron counsels with simplicity and depth, and with thought leadership and grit.He admits that he didn't want to write the typical "here's how to network" book, full of how-tos and strategies. Ron writes, "Career networking has a history of transactional situations and anxiety. It doesn't have to be that way. This book is an accumulation of the stories and values of the people who are in my circle of champions, how to find the archetypes of these people, and the lessons I have learned from them."Everyone in business should pick up this book, and realize that they are already surrounded by the "champions" they need, in order to shift the Earth on its axis.Podcaster: RONderingsIn season one of Ronderings, Ron talks to his guests about their superpowers, including career advice, diversity, mindset, wellness, and leadership. Ron grew up in New York City, and has been coaching and leading executive searches for the last five years, taking what he has learned from 15 years in corporate, higher education, government, and non-profit contexts. He and his wife are obsessed with reality television, and Ron also moonlights as a men's personal stylist and group fitness instructor. Ron says, "I believe in the power of intuition and deepening one’s self-awareness and impact on others. I believe in the power of connection and transparency. I believe that we must dismantle systems of oppression and racism to recover our fullest humanity. Most of all, I believe our power to change the world starts from changing ourselves first."
