Co-Facilitator, EWI  ·  Founder, LXD Consultants  ·  Certified Medical & Integral Qigong Instructor

Jason brings two decades of performance-driven learning and development leadership together with a deep personal Qigong and somatic wellness practice. As EWI’s Director of Learning & Development, he designs the structure, rigor, and measurability behind every professional program and organizational engagement — while Qigong keeps him grounded in the embodied intelligence that makes all of it sustainable.

He is the founder of LXD Consultants, co-facilitator of The Embodied Trainer certification, and the author of the memoir Choices and Chances. His work lives at the intersection of human performance, nervous system awareness, and the belief that sustainable results require a sustainable person.

His Story & L&D Background

The body taught him what the boardroom couldn’t.

Jason spent over two decades designing and leading high-performance learning programs across technology, energy, and telecommunications — working with Fortune 100 companies and regional firms alike. He has led training integration through large-scale mergers, rebuilt onboarding programs from scratch using root cause analysis, and consistently connected learning design to measurable business outcomes.

As EWI’s Director of Learning & Development, Jason brings that same performance architecture mindset to everything EWI builds professionally — ensuring that programs like The Embodied Trainer are grounded in adult learning science, designed for real behavior change, and built to prove their value.

A major heart attack brought on by chronic stress became the turning point that no career milestone could have offered. In recovery, Jason found Qigong — and discovered that the most important performance variable he’d been neglecting for two decades was his own nervous system. That experience shapes everything he brings to EWI and to his professional programs.

“I spent two decades teaching people how to perform. Qigong taught me what performance actually costs — and what it takes to sustain it.”
