Hi, we are Jones 86!
Founded in January 2020, Jones 86 Coaching and Consulting was born out of the need to support organizations navigating the realities of remote and hybrid work environments. Recognizing the challenges that businesses were facing, our founder sought to offer guidance that would not only help businesses survive but thrive in an increasingly complex landscape.
At Jones 86, we leverage over 20 years of experience to design tailored solutions that drive organizational success. Our methodology focuses on strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, leadership development, and change management. We believe in a holistic approach that begins with a deep quantitative and qualitative understanding of the organization's current state to create a sustainable, high-impact strategy.

OUR APPROACH
Did you know that Thomas Edison is often credited with inventing the light bulb, but his breakthrough was actually an evolution of ideas from earlier innovators? The arc lamp, developed by British inventors, provided the initial spark—while Edison’s refinement made the light bulb a sustainable, lasting source of illumination.
Much like the evolution of the light bulb, progress in business is built on collaboration, innovation, and strategic refinement. At Jones 86 Coaching & Consulting, we believe in the power of ideas—what we call “light bulb moments.” Our LIT (Lead, Inspire, Transform) philosophy fuels our approach to strategic planning, coaching, and operational excellence, helping organizations turn vision into impact.
With best-in-class methods, we empower organizations to engage stakeholders, drive key business imperatives, and define their industry differentiator. Like Edison’s innovation, we don’t just create solutions—we refine and illuminate pathways for sustainable success.
