Yochi Jonathan Ress
I'm a curious, sensitive & gregarious human being. When I see leaders courageously embrace authenticity & vulnerability, & how that resonates with their team taking their level of trust, engagement, creativity & performance to a whole new level, my heart sings & I feel I'm on track with my life & work. I'm a Clinical & Organisational Psychologist, Master Facilitator & Professional Musician. I specialise in experiential leadership, team & culture development workshops based on self-awareness. Pioneered a cutting-edge technology to train mindfulness using the science of sound that has been highly successful

Show profile Hide profileCape Town born, my values are openness, authenticity and inclusive diversity – within myself & in the world around me. I feel music is a unique medium that builds all these areas (and many more). Just the 'simple' act of conscious listening, fundamentally requires openness & receptivity.
I'm a husband & father, who loves to challenge myself to grow & stretch in as many different ways as possible. I strive to become more attuned to the mysterious & wondrous (often confusing) world within me, because I know that only when I'm anchored in this way, can I be more attuned & present to the world around me.
My mission: to unlock more reflection, dynamic creativity & ‘wholeness' in individuals, groups / teams & organisations.
As a Clinical Psychologist + Professional Musician (BMus degree - love Jazz, African, Reggae & World genres), my career & life path has led me to some unusual areas of work & research - an enriching & soul-nourishing journey.
For the last decade, I've specialised in deeply transformational work with leaders, teams & companies, helping unlock significant breakthroughs. My focus / passion is on the experiential side, so the work is practical, sustainable, and optimally integrated (but immensely fun as well).
After 3 successful years as a fulltime Specialist Facilitator for Nedbank Group leadership teams, I felt I had a lot to offer the world of business & leadership, so I founded Attuned Consulting in 2014 with the mission of helping people discover how self-awareness is the key to shifting from limiting & habitual thought-emotional-behavioural patterns into more conscious, open, flexible & empowered response choices.
I'm excited to share a new product I've been developing over the last couple of years - applying the science of sound & music to deepen self-awareness in leaders. Sound & music bypass our limited & noisy rational ('monkey') mind, opening us up to our emotions, intuition & body-somatic intelligence / awareness. And research shows that it's specifically these deeper sources of information & perception that are proven to be critical in leadership and organisational success. Our “Attuned Mindfulness” product has been phenomenally successful & valuable to many teams & companies.
This culminated excitingly last year when I was hired by the multiple award-winning creative agency OpenCo (TBWA) to build a uniquely immersive & customised workshop product to enhance open collaboration & performance in teams & companies. We are busy launching this, so we're offering a free consultation where we first become deeply attuned to your unique context, environment & requirements. We then give you feedback on exactly how you can build an optimal, healthy & integrated company culture that will attract & retain top talent (whether you choose us as the ones to provide these processes to you or not).
You can finally pinpoint blindspots & barriers and break through these to create a solid 'operating system' based on openness, authenticity, learning, creative diversity and flexible resilience.
I've been blessed to experience significant positive shifts in my own life through my own journey towards greater self-awareness. I can't wait to share some of this wisdom with you & your team or company.
