In Do It Anyway , Jon addresses one of the most expensive gaps in leadership and performance. The gap between knowing what matters and actually doing it.
​
Rather than relying on inspiration or willpower, Do It Anyway introduces a practical, three-phase approach for building reliable action under resistance. Jon explains how the brain is wired to avoid effort and uncertainty, then teaches leaders how to train the capacity to move forward anyway, consistently, predictably, and without waiting to “feel ready.”
​
This keynote gives leaders a repeatable way to turn intention into execution.

In The Identity Narrative Grid™, Jon addresses one of the most overlooked drivers of disengagement: when effort no longer feels worth the cost.
He shows why capable, committed people don’t quit because the work is hard, but because the internal logic for the work falls apart. When role, purpose, or visible contribution becomes unclear, momentum slows no matter how talented or well-compensated the team is.
​​​
Rather than treating disengagement as a motivation problem, The Identity Narrative Grid™ offers a structural way to restore meaning. The result is renewed commitment, stronger ownership, and teams that can sustain effort through difficulty because the work once again feels coherent, personal, and worth it.
03/
In Think Second™, Jon breaks down what’s happening in the brain when judgment slips and shows leaders how to interrupt it in real time. Leaders leave with concrete practices to stabilize thinking, prevent escalation, and make better decisions when pressure is high.
​
This keynote reframes clear thinking as a condition, not a fixed trait. Jon shows why stress and high stakes narrow perception, speed up reactions, and creates false certainty... and why logic alone can’t fix it once that shift has happened.
Rather than pushing for better decisions inside compromised conditions, Think Second™ focuses on restoring the conditions that make good decisions possible.
