Together We Are Limitless

I am not your ordinary motivational speaker. With a powerful personal narrative, a little wit and a strong inspirational message, I provide perspective to audiences and open their eyes to see the power of interdependence.

Although I cannot see my audiences, I can help them see how to effect change and positivity in their own lives. My mission is to help people suspend judgment and focus on the good. My objective is not to dictate how to succeed in life; I speak from experience to convince individuals that independence is good, while interdependence is great.

How will you find the power of interdependence in your life?

Audience takeaways:
- Seeing the Power of Interdependence
- Suspending Judgment
- Focus on the Good

Jeremy was an absolute treat for my strategic commercial customers. I truly believe they were inspired, motivated and entertained the entire time. Jeremy CONNECTED PERFECTLY with the audience. To quote my manager; "You know the keynote is great when a large amount of the award winners quote him on stage while accepting their award!" He was a HUGE reason the event was such a success. I was just reliving it with my manager and she said he was BY FAR THE BEST SPEAKER WE’VE HAD. I'm going to have to start searching for next year's speaker now. The pressure is on. He's going to be HARD TO BEAT!”
