“If you’re looking for a speaker that absolutely must deliver, Jason should be at the top of your list.

“There are many speakers on the circuit who tout their ability to drive performance, culture, and stronger leadership. Few speakers can both engage audiences AND partner with companies to ensure their message aligns with business needs. Jason is one of the special ones. I have had the pleasure of working with him on a ton of speaking and content opportunities, and he consistently crushes it.”

His presentation was so engaging and upbeat, and there was so much energy in the room when he kicked off his session. He provided practical and specific tips on how to have a check-in conversation with staff, and there were plenty of takeaways that our attendees can implement at their organizations. He crafted his examples, stories, and key points in a way that really resonated with our audience.”

Leaders everywhere are asking

“HOW DO YOU ATTRACT THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND GET THEM TO STAY?”

And you hear the same things over and over:

Pay them more.

Offer cool perks.

Give them better benefits.

But you know that’s not enough.

Lead with Relationship

HI, I’M JASON…

I was a corporate executive for almost a decade, but I’ve been a workplace optimist for my entire career.

I’ve always been insatiably curious about WHY work is broken — and why the way we TREAT people at work is broken — ever since I was a kid growing up on a farm in Iowa, witnessing my dad being mistreated by his boss.

For far too many people, work sucks. My question was, “Why?” I knew it didn’t have to be that way. After sifting through thousands of employee surveys later on in life, I finally figured it out:

We experience work as a RELATIONSHIP.

If we want to fix work, we need it to feel like any other healthy relationship in our lives. If we want our people to feel ENGAGED at work, then they need to feel appreciated, trusted, and cared for. And, if we want them to give their BEST at work, then we need them to feel empowered to explore their full potential.

Today, I lead keynotes, training, and retreats that help organizations, leaders, and teams break free of outdated paradigms, so they can transform how they work, lead, and live.

We’re redefining work, one relationship at a time.

Will you join us?

“Jason makes viewer engagement seem so easy.

Consistent 5-star feedback ratings and high praise from viewers don’t begin to paint the complete picture of Jason’s ability to connect virtually with audiences on nearly any subject. I continue to marvel at how he makes viewer engagement seem so easy. He is well-prepared, leaves nothing to chance, and is the consummate pro.”
