Testimonials

"As the organizer of our event, Jon made me look good! His heartfelt stories touched our lives and our hearts. Jon is a speaker who gets it - it's about the audience! We will definitely invite him back for our next event."

“Thanks for coming today, and for your excellent keynote sessions. This was the best keynote we've had in my ten Faculty Workshops.”

"It was great to hear someone talk about education and not feel like he had to use the words 'data' or 'standardized tests'. Jon showed us that working with and motivating young people can be the most important thing. We all know the importance of data, but it’s good to learn new ways that we can motivate our students to want to learn."

"What impressed me most was Jon’s empathetic view as a student, teacher, administrator, and parent. Jon’s eclectic personal experiences coupled with his anecdotal stories gave validity to his reputation as a motivational speaker! Jon’s words resonated with me on a personal level."

“I enjoyed your talk…Thanks for sharing your wit and wisdom on what folks now often call resilience. You presented valuable life lessons.”
