THE STORY OF BJE

Barry J. Elliott, also known as BJE, is a leadership consultant, mental health advocate, podcaster, and lifelong learner.  His ambition is to make a difference in the world, to live a life of impact, and to be productive spiritually, relationally, and professionally.

BJE has professional experiences ranging from education, banking, and faith-based leadership.  Using all of those experiences, he created the Simply BJE brand.  Simply BJE, Inc. exists to empower leaders, offering leadership coaching, consulting, and training to groups and individuals alike.   He is also the founder and visionary leader of The Logos Connection, a network for Christian leaders in the for-profit as well as the not-for-profit sector that emphasizes healthy Christianity, healthy connections, and healthy conversations.  Additionally, he is the host of The Lifeline Podcast which focuses on conversations about business, leadership, and mental health.

BJE endeavors to be a critical and forward thinker, with a strong emphasis on education.  He credits his late aunt Barbara G. Wilson, an educator, with planting that seed when he was in first grade.  Consequently, he has three earned degrees:  a BA in English, a Master’s of Divinity, and a Master’s in Business Administration with a focus in human resources and leadership.  He is currently in pursuit of a doctorate in Organizational Leadership. 

Above all, he is a man of deep faith, personal conviction, and purpose.
