“Jamie has been an important addition to our Xchange Canada conference series over the years. His presentations have been a breath of fresh air. They're innovative, practical and extremely relevant to our audiences. He consistently brings tremendous value to our events and gets top marks from our participants, which is why we keep bringing him back year after year. I’d highly recommend him to any group or conference looking for an injection of fun, energy and insight on leadership.” Julian Lee, President

Boost the energy and value of your next event with a leadership experience!Looking for a great keynote speaker to add great value and energy to your conference, client appreciation event or group meeting?
Join the thousands of people who have enjoyed a memorable, engaging experience while taking critical steps to grow their leadership (and their careers). As a professional speaker, I combine my light-hearted approach to presentations and leadership workshops with a healthy dose of practical application. My roll-up-your-sleeves approach has participants “doing” (and learning) a lot. I also use an effective blend of storytelling, humour and down-to-business exercises to inspire and motivate change (no stuffiness factor here). The professional keynotes and leadership workshops vary from brief energizers to the more extensive components of The Accelerated Leader Program™. Each speaking engagement addresses relevant challenges faced by new and emerging leaders and the senior leaders that manage them. Prefer to see me in action first?I don’t know about you, but I’d rather test-drive a car before I purchase it. If you’re the same, I’d invite you to get a feel for my speaking style by viewing the short video sample below.
Keynotes and Leadership Workshops:Coaching For Great WorkDo More Great Work Breakaway: Four Secrets to Breakthrough Leadership Coaching For Great Work:Real-world, results-oriented coaching skills for the time-strapped manager
Coaching effectively doesn’t have to be a “black-art,” require years of
training, the perfect personality type or as much time as you think. Indeed, when you have a proven,
straight-forward, paint-by-numbers system you can capture the bulk of the value coaching has to offer very
quickly and easily. Here’s what we’ll cover:1. Learn the four barriers that keep coaching’s value out of reach. Unaddressed, these barriers leave most HR coaching initiatives as simply “a nice idea that didn’t stand a chance.” 2. Take away the ten best coaching questions. Not just any questions, but questions designed to get to the heart of the matter, generate fresh possibilities and spark anyone into action quickly and easily. 3. Practice a coaching structure you can use in 10 minutes or less. Yes, you heard right, 10 minutes or less. Who has the time for regular, long, in-depth discussions; you’ve got a business to run. This interactive session is available in 1-2hr formats. Do More Great Work:Stop working so hard and getting bogged down in the busywork
Too often the seeds of our Great Work go overlooked and squandered. We keep our heads down and pound out work as fast as we can. We get buried in the day-to-day and the stuff we’re brilliant at and passionate about gets done ‘when I have time’ (which is rarely, if ever). It doesn’t have to be that way. In this session, here’s what we’ll cover (1-2hr version):1. Gain insight into what your Great Work really is. Without clarity, we naturally default to the tide around us – the urgent, the other’s agenda - or frankly we just keep doing what we’ve always done, it’s easier. 2. Discover the surprisingly simple way to categorize your work and what your mix of them is. Knowing this gives you the framework to make conscious choices and create time and space for Great Work. 3. Identify the biggest obstacles to producing Great Work. The two biggest ones are sneaky, under the radar and will trip you up daily. You’ll see why, and learn what to do about it. Optional ½ day team version also includes:4. Identify an immediate Great Work project you’re jazzed about; one that’s strategic and relevant to the organization. This isn’t a project to start ‘someday’ when your inbox is empty, but now. 5. Get out of the idea rut. Most idea generation stops just when the great stuff is about to show up. Discover how to quickly mine the idea-gold and amp up your project when most would settle for average. 6. Start living your Great Work by creating a specific, actionable project plan that inspires the support of your team and gets you into action fast. Breakaway!
