Jonathan D. Harrison is a leadership expert, HR professional, and lifelong gamer who believes that the greatest life lessons don't always come from textbooks - sometimes, they come from boss battles, loot drops, and pixelated quests.
A TEDx speaker and the author of multiple books, including Mastering the Game: What Video Games Can Teach Us About Success in Life, and in 2025 If Video Games Have Taught Me Anything: What Video Games Taught Some of the World's Most Fascinating People.
He also illustrated a coloring book, If Video Games Have Taught Me Anything: A Video Game Life Lesson Coloring Book.
Jonathan combines 20+ years of professional development experience with a passion for storytelling and play. When he's not writing or speaking, he's leveling up in real life as a husband and father, proving that the skills honed in games - strategy, persistence, curiosity - truly can shape the way we live, lead, and learn.
