MBA, Hon LHD

Audiences walk away with a practical and personal mindset for navigating adversity. Through Ron's powerful story of rebuilding after paralysis, they gain tools to lead with resilience, find meaning through challenge, and stay grounded during uncertainty. It's a message about turning setbacks into something more.

Ron Gold spent 25 years on Wall Street, most recently as a Managing Director at Barclays, before a cycling accident left him paralyzed and forced him to rethink everything. In the aftermath, he created The New Gold Standard—a framework for leading with resilience, imagination, purpose, and connection. Ron founded LeanOnWe, a home care company shaped by lived experience. He speaks and writes about turning challenge into momentum, publishes on Substack, and is working on a book about how we grow forward when life veers off course.
