Personal Details

Bio

I apply my instructional design experience, facilitation skills, technology knowledge, learner/listener psychology obsession, brain function training, and international professional speaking and recording success to be the expert, storyteller, and coach you and your people need.

My experience includes: instructional design, professional speaking, presentation and leadership coaching, learning experience and strategy development, actor, voice-over artist, and best-selling author. After more than two decades in adult learning, development, facilitation, and enablement, I've become a specialist in partnerships, learner experience design, learner motivation and psychology, management/leadership training, and long and short-form speaking.

I have consulted, taught, and developed content on the training and learning front lines for 24 years. I have delivered 50 day-long presentation and leadership development workshops globally and coached managers and senior leadership on mechanisms for humility, team productivity, process improvement, morale boosting, content creation, teacher training, and team development.

I have spent years analyzing and solving the training needs of multiple global learner bases, amounting to 6000+ customer-facing learners. I've single-handedly created 400+ total minutes of e-learning, and developed/delivered 55+ sessions of intense skills workshops. Every training experience I've delivered has had measurement and impact feedback loops closed, scoring at least 10% higher than average. I have recorded more than 80 hours of audiobook narration, learning experience voiceovers, storytelling, and promotional material.

I am a member of the National Speakers Association and work with groups large and small on taking ownership of our stories, emotional toughness, how to deliver effective presentations for sales and customer service, training change management, and achieving goals. I'm the originator of the You're the Main Character and Essential Self Stewardship programs and approaches to improvement. I've spoken and taught in: London, Paris, Munich, Bratislava, Japan, Milan, Madrid, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more, as well as remotely across the USA, Brazil, and Europe.

Most importantly, I've been married for 24 years and my wonderful wife and I are raising seven kids together.

WIN THE MOMENT

A keynote presentation on how a simple, challenging shift in the way we see ourselves and the world can make a fundamental difference in our path forward, both in our professional and personal lives.

Ultimately, the idea that the only thing stopping us is ourselves is flawed and damaging and actually disempowers us. It's intimidating to believe that we are the only agent of change in our lives-- because that's a massive job.

Instead, we need to see life as a series of winnable moments and we need to see the people around us as potential allies and we must see the world as a series of opportunities.

PRESENTATION SUPERPOWERS

A one-hour presentation that can be expanded to a half or full-day workshop focusing on client and learner-facing presenters and helping them manage a room, ask critical questions and dig deeper, identify core concerns, and use non-verbals to amp up the power and impact of their presentations.

Additional topics/activities can include:
Crafting Better Content (fix your PPT deck in an hour or less)
Long-term Practice Techniques
Improvement Through Belief
Customizing Presentations on the Fly

Testimonials (3)
  • I participated in Jared's class on action sequences in novels at a writing conference. His presentation was well-organized and easy to take notes on and his teaching method was personable and friendly. It felt like taking a specialty class from your favorite teacher in high school, like he was tailoring the content based on what everyone in the room needed, even though that couldn't have been possible.
    Gina Denny
  • I've attended presentations by Jared on topics ranging from the behavior of cults to the motivation of authors. He's an engaging speaker. We had him talk to the League of Utah Writers at a leadership training meeting.

  • Jared is awesome! He’s not just a guy that speaks well but leaves you with vague motivational sayings. His background had about 200 young women and young men mesmerized and energized.
