Welcome back to Purpose Pivots! Our very first guest is my former colleague and the current Chief Human Resources Officer of Billings Clinic, Montana’s largest healthcare organization. Jonathan’s inspiring story saw him missing a job opening he thought he was qualified for but then pivoting to an opportunity that led him to a successful career in human resources. He may be a C-suite corporate executive now but he considers himself something else.
