What Jake Speaks On

Practical, honest talks for engineers, professionals, and leaders who want to do great work without losing sight of what matters most. Every talk can be tailored to your audience and event.

Keynote

Be Fully Engaged

Most of us show up with our heads and hands. What changes when our hearts and souls show up too? A talk on bringing your whole self to your work, your family, and the people you lead.

Workshop

Self-Leadership

You can’t lead others well until you can lead yourself. A hands-on session for getting clear on what matters, doing less, and doing it better.

Keynote or Breakout

Death by Mediocrity

Mediocrity isn’t a sudden failure. It’s a gradual process. How reasonable, comfortable choices add up, and how to build something worth becoming instead.
