Jeffrey Page

Author of Becoming a Student of Leadership

 With over 30 years of professional experience building and leading high-performing teams, Jeff Page is still working on his leadership practice. He is currently working as the vice president of operations for a small government IT consulting business, Precise Software Solutions. Prior to his current work in the private sector, Jeff spent over 27 years working for the federal government. He served as the chief operating officer at the Corporation for National and Community Service (now named AmeriCorps) from 2014 to 2017, and as budget director from 1998 to 2005. From 2005 to 2014, Jeff worked as the chief financial Officer for the Library of Congress. Jeff began his career as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and he spent 12 years working with the Peace Corps – 10 in Africa and two at Peace Corps headquarters.

Early in his career, Jeff decided to become a student of leadership, studying the leaders he worked with (good and bad) and transforming his learning into an intentional practice. He has approached his leadership practice with a persistent drive to learn and with the humility to know he'll never be done learning. As part of Jeff's learning process, he has designed and led leadership development programs, facilitated workshops, given talks to professional groups, offered courses, published articles, written a leadership blog, and mentored and advised executives, senior managers, and aspiring leaders on leadership topics including emotional intelligence, radical candor, ego, humility, work relations, communication, and customer service.

Jeff was born and raised and attended college in northern California. He currently lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, where he enjoys spending time with family and friends and walking his dogs Xena and Piper with his wife Lisa.
