In Business Magazine: What Lead Advisory Board Member and Mentor Taught The Perfect Companion Founder Jon Siegel About Leading a Phoenix Senior Care Company

Jon Siegel, founder and president of The Perfect Companion, shared the leadership lessons he learned from his mentor and lead advisory board member in the November 2026 Feedback section of Greater Phoenix In Business Magazine. For Phoenix families looking for an in-home senior care company they can trust, his message was clear: the people he serves can reach him directly, and he tells them the truth early.

Siegel was one of five Valley business leaders asked what traits they valued in their mentors and how they bring those traits into their own leadership. He named Patrick van den Bossche, president of Realty Executives International. “My mentor, Patrick van den Bossche, president of Realty Executives International, taught me that the most valuable thing a leader can give is time,” Siegel writes.

He explains that van den Bossche has stayed available for everything from sensitive personnel questions to major business decisions, and that their relationship works because there is no agenda behind it. “Patrick tells me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear, and I trust him because of it,” Siegel writes.

Siegel says he leads The Perfect Companion the same way. “At The Perfect Companion, our caregivers and the families we serve can reach me directly,” he writes. He also measures his success by how well the people around him are doing rather than by his title.

He closes with the lesson in its simplest form: “Show up. Be honest. Make it about them.”
