Keynotes and workshops on engagement and self-leadership for conferences, firms, and teams.
Keynotes · Workshops · Breakouts · In person or remote

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.
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.
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.
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.

“Jake’s keynote speech at PDX attracted a robust crowd of engineers who deeply appreciated his insights into creativity, intention, and growth. Months later, one of the attendees wrote to tell me how transformative the principles Jake shared had been on his life. Highly recommend Jake to any audience of professionals who are interested in growing into a better version of themselves.”
“Jake has been an amazing presenter at our annual education conference. He captures the audience and engages them on a personal level. We love his fresh approach in the engineering world and highly recommend him for any setting, whether a small intimate group or a large audience.”
Jake would love to be at your next event, whether it’s a team meeting, a workshop at your office, or a conference stage. Tell him a little about it and he’ll reply within 2 business days with a speaker sheet and next steps.
