John E. Quinlan

John E. Quinlan has been a corporate CEO in Detroit and a rainforest entrepreneur in Papa New Guinea. His journey led him to consulting and coaching executives on the power of vulnerability.

John’s first book, Tau Bada, is a memoir of experiences and an accounting of all he learned along the way that can help other executives with self-discovery, growth and the drive to achieve business and personal relationship goals.

John’s TEDxWilmington talk, “Journey Into Vulnerability – Lessons From A Rainforest CEO” gives viewers a sense of his experiences and a glimpse of the adventure that led to his revelations.

“What I realized, after the various turning points, revelations, the hard-won victories and the huge losses, is acceptance and the quest to keep moving ahead.” John E. Quinlan

John lives in Grosse Pointe, Michigan with his wife Fiona.
