Jonathan worked with my company and I would highly advise him to work with yours too. He had a chance to work closely with my VP of operations and helped her to work closely with her entire team and had nothing but great things to say. Also an awesome podcast host!

The team at Chief Psycho [formerly Cultura] is experienced, and insightful, and they really care. I highly recommend working with them!

Loved my experience working with Chief Psycho [formerly Cultura]! Jonathan - thank you for your linguistic jujitsu on my team's brain! 👊🏼🙌🏼
Dr. Sean
Jonathan has a true entrepreneurial spirit and has a lot of knowledge of different businesses. He was able to assist our team in figuring out our next steps and helped us take action in areas that needed work. He truly cares about all of his clients and I highly recommend him!
Islam S.
I was very pleased to come across Jonathan and his company Chief Psycho [formerly Cultura]. As the office manager of a growing dental practice, I am always looking to partner with others that can assist us in developing our office’s culture. Jonathan brought his enthusiasm, leadership skills, and coaching expertise during our weekly calls. He even came out to our office and did a staff-building exercise with our team. Even with over 20 years of experience in the field myself, I can’t say enough how helpful Jonathan’s coaching was!
Diane T.
Jonathan is talented! I appreciate the value and great energy he brought. I'm so thankful for his insight and the team loved the process! Jonathan was able to tap into deep rooted disconnects with the team. He has ways of getting honest feedback. Slowing us down and getting us to articulate the issue while staying focused on mending the connection. It's worthwhile to connect with your team at this level and really understand how they are perceiving the information presented. We did a bunch of personality tests. Individual and team tests. The results helped us communicate and understand each other better. That understanding makes for a more meaningful and impactful work environment. I'm forever grateful!

I had the pleasure of working for Jonathan to develop the Operations, Implementation, and Human Resource arms of a startup organization for 2020. I can say without a doubt that he is one of my favorite leaders that I have had the opportunity to work with within my career. Jonathan's focus is on setting up systems and processes after gathering data and what is rare is he is masterful at including the care and feeding of the culture at the same time. He never dropped his focus on team members' empowerment and their experience of being heard and supported as we worked through the fast paces and chaos of a startup company during a pandemic. Jonathan's thoughtful approach to operations allowed the space for creative solutions that enabled the company to grow exponentially in a very quick time frame. I look at the quality of a leader by answering one question - would I be willing to work with them again - in the case of Jonathan Bonanno, the answer is an unequivocal and resounding YES!
Amayea M.
Jonathan is extremely intelligent and organized. There has never been a time that I asked for something to be done, that was not taken care of in an expedient and accurate manner. He created systems for the continuous training of team members. Jonathan handled all business, operation, and HR issues - all while providing concierge service. Jonathan dealt with Vendors and coordinated all our team meetings. Jonathan is capable of multitasking on a high level. He worked and completed his master’s degree while supporting my practice, plus he is co-owner of several businesses, and now he is working on his Ph.D.! Jonathan will excel at any position he would like to.
Dr. Carol
I have been in dentistry for over 20 years and as a hygienist since 2001, working in large corporate offices to small, million-dollar, cosmetic offices. Jonathan Bonanno by far was the best, most helpful, and most innovative leader I’ve ever worked with. He not only handled managing the office well, but motivated, led, and encouraged us all as a team to get to the next level. He had fresh ideas, listened, multi-tasked like no other, and always followed through in a timely matter with answers to questions and implementing changes needed. Jonathan’s experiences with processes, IT skills, directing operations, management skills, system checks and balances, customer service, and intellectual thinking that he brought to our office were like no other! It was not only a pleasure but a great opportunity to work with him. I not only highly recommend him but encourage anyone to take the opportunity to work with him to raise their company’s value!
