Jeff Harmon
Leadership Coach & Founder, My Impossible
Resilience is a Choice
Jeff is a leadership coach at Brilliance Within and founder of the My Impossible foundation, which exists to help people confront real limits and choose how they will lead within them. Living with a progressive neurological condition and having climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in his wheelchair, Jeff challenges the idea that resilience is about strength or pushing harder. His work centers on helping leaders tell the truth about where they are, reclaim agency, and lead from conviction rather than performance. Through coaching, Jeff helps leaders integrate faith, identity, and responsibility so their leadership is grounded and durable. Clients describe the experience as clarifying and steadying—leading with greater presence, sharper judgment, and courage in hard seasons.
