Testimonials
What People Are Saying
Jonathan delivered a very encouraging message about the word, “perseverance,” to the student body of the school where I teach. He took a lot of time preparing his message so that it was suitable for his audience and in turn, engaged everyone in the room. His message of being persistent, determined, and most importantly, never giving up, is still remembered months later. He is truly an inspiration!
Jonathan and I were fraternity brothers at Penn State University. I always remember his high energy, entrepreneurial spirit, go big or go home personality in those times. As I continue on the journey of friendship with Jonathan, I always feel he has such a wonderful love for life despite any and all challenges that are thrown at him. Personally and professionally, his strides in recovery continue to inspire me and will soon do so for the world.
A gift for anyone that has experienced trauma.
Enter Stage Left
As a young stroke survivor, Jonathan Miller founded Enter Stage Left to help others in similar situations and to educate professionals on how to better work with the patients who need them.
From personal experience, he found there was too often a gap between the practices introduced in hospitals or during therapy and what survivors need in real-life settings. Research supports his experience.
At Enter Stage Left, we are professional coaches offering services and resources based on S.M.A.R.T.E.R. Wellness Planning that focuses on The Person Behind the Patient.

Journal Entry: November 17, 2006
An event was going to happen that would change my life. My body and strength would be taken away. All that remained was my damaged brain, heart, and soul. It was my job to heal myself. I would build myself back from a wheelchair and a hospital bed. I would learn a great deal and speak of the triumph. This is how I want it written when the time comes.
Fifteen years later, the time has come.
Maybe They Left Tools in My Brain is the story of a young professional sharing his life's journey. It's the story of an unexpected turn of events, suffering his first stroke at the age of 28 and the incredible triumph that follows. Although his body and strength were taken away, he did heal himself. He did build himself back. He learned a great deal from the experience. And, now he speaks of the triumph. Jonathan's story encourages us all to never give in . . . to embrace life no matter what hardships are thrown at us.
As a stroke survivor, Jonathan is dedicated to helping others in similar situations and educating health care professionals on how to better work with their patients.
