“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.

KEYNOTES
CONNECTION IS THE STRATEGY
The Advantage Most Leaders Underestimate
Feeling connected at work gets treated as a “nice to have,” a cultural outcome that takes a backseat to strategy and execution.
The reality is simpler, and more uncomfortable.
Connection is one of the main ways strategy actually turns into results.
When it’s weak, execution slows and engagement suffers. When it’s strong, people move with clarity and commitment.
This keynote draws on the Human Connection Study, one of the largest studies of connection at work to date, with data from 286,000 employees across more than 1,600 organizations. Jason reveals where connection is built, what erodes it, and which widely held assumptions the data overturns.
Your audience will leave able to strengthen the connection that drives execution, engagement, and retention.
THIS KEYNOTE IS IDEAL FOR AUDIENCES WHO ARE:
- Driving a strategy that keeps stalling somewhere between the plan and the execution
- Investing in engagement and retention without seeing the results they expected
- Ready to treat connection as a performance lever, not a “nice to have”
YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE WITH:
- A clear understanding of how connection drives results and strategic execution, and why it’s a core leadership responsibility
- Insight into the conditions — leadership, cultural, and operational — that most shape how people experience connection at work
- The Connected Performance System — a practical way to turn connection into a competitive advantage through leadership clarity, organizational alignment, and management capability
PERFORMANCE IS CULTIVATED, NOT MANAGED
Unleashing the Power of the Check-In Conversation
Employees are not machines—they’re complex, living creatures who are capable of extraordinary things. If we want to keep up with the rate of unprecedented change, we can no longer ignore an urgent truth: given the right opportunity and support, most human beings would choose success over failure. In other words, performance is human nature. It doesn’t need to be managed; it needs to be cultivated.
When we adopt a Cultivation Mindset, everything about how we see, approach, and think about leadership starts to shift.
We can make better decisions, meet people where they are, and remove the barriers preventing them from reaching their full potential. This is the style of leadership employees want, and the culture they need to deliver their best.
THIS KEYNOTE IS IDEAL FOR AUDIENCES WHO ARE:
- Tired of traditional performance management systems that don’t deliver results
- Looking to create work environments where employees naturally thrive
- Committed to meeting employees where they are to unlock their full potential
YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE WITH:
- Actionable strategies to create conditions where employees naturally choose excellence
- A powerful four-step check-in process that cultivates employee potential
- Proven methods for building a retention-friendly culture based on human-centered principles
