I've had multiple leaders come to me to say they'd like to keep the convo around trust going on the heels of the momentum Jason created.
– JEN YINGLING, Senior Analyst, Emergent BioSolutions INDIA
Jason delivers! We hired Jason to keynote a virtual event in 2021. His message, delivery and enthusiasm was top-notch. He also agreed to do a pre-conference networking session where he helped lead a trivia session about the U.S. Air Force. We received numerous comments from attendees remarking how strong his address was. I highly recommend that you consider Jason.

This is a great reminder of the importance of building trusting relationships, prioritizing the people you love most and creating special moments on a regular basis.

Inspirational! Jason closed our first virtual conference last month and he nailed it! Trust has never been a more relevant topic and our nearly 500 attendees loved his personal story and inspirational message. Jason is an absolute gem to work with. He's accessible and inquisitive and works hard to tailor the message to your audience. I would highly recommend him to any organization or professional group that is looking for a fresh perspective and an inspiring story!

Jason is a gentleman of great depth, talent, and empathy. And, as a keynote speaker, he truly shines in his ability to connect before, during, and after the presentation. His focus on trust couldn't be more prescient as we search for what's needed to solve a few "small" crises.
