Bio
As a coach and instructor with PSMJ, Jonathan Wilson delivers training programs and coaches A/E professionals in both the United States and Canada. His work helps A/E industry project managers and leaders create more effective, productive, and happy project teams. Jonathan believes better project teams deliver better projects with better financials that earn more client respect.
Jonathan has 17 years of experience managing challenging projects from both sides of the table. As a seasoned aviation professional, Jonathan hired and led numerous architecture, engineering, and construction management project teams to fulfill a multi-million-dollar aviation capital program. First as a client-side project manager and then as a program manager, Jonathan organized and led diverse teams of planning, civil engineering, structural engineering, MEP engineering, architecture, landscape architecture, survey, and construction management professionals on individual projects beyond $10 million.
Jonathan later founded the aviation division inside of KPG, an established 120-person Seattle-based interdisciplinary professional services firm. The goal? Market and cross sell existing firm services to the aviation industry. Over the years, Jonathan and his project teams completed numerous planning, survey, civil engineering, architecture, and landscape architecture projects for both airport owners and private aviation businesses, including two Fortune 50 companies.
When he is not training A/E professionals, Jonathan travels the country inspiring and educating audiences on the art and science of leadership. His presentations focus on how to create a learning culture by embracing the coaching leadership style. He has been invited to speak at several venues in addition to national association events like the Airports Council International and the American Public Works Association.
Jonathan has a master’s degree in Public Administration, and has been certified by the International Coach Federation and by Harrison Assessments International. He resides just outside of Seattle, Washington, with his wife and two teenagers.
