Sales + Business Development

"After attending Jake Thompson's two sessions at the Michigan Realtors Achieve Conference, especially 'Focus Like a Champion,' I have made improvements immediately. His Competitor Scorecard has helped me so much, I had to share it with my office, and my whole board. I'm confident this one tool, will dramatically change your daily focus, and help you accomplish more and be more productive during your day."

“Jake was a HOMERUN with our DFW sales team. He did his homework to understand his audience and had us captivated from the start. To win over a group of restless sales professionals in itself is a miracle, but to hold their attention, spark thoughtful interaction and elicit genuine laughter – all while making excellent points about mindset, being intentional, narrowing your focus & how your daily habits will impact the value of your self-image & – well, it was outstanding to watch. He was a true professional from beginning to end & I would highly recommend him for any event!”

"Jake was just what the doctor ordered for our annual team meeting this year. His message was clear and energizing! Our team is still Competing Everyday thanks to Jake and his time with us. If you want your team to get the mindset needed to elevate their game, then I would highly recommend having Jake come talk to them. Money well spent!"

"Jake kicked off our conference by bringing our theme of storytelling to life. Not only did he give our members valuable takeaways for everyday tasks, he inspired us to look inward to identify the makings of our own great stories. Jake's motivational messages aren't exclusive to any one field and the passion he has for what he does is contagious! Don't hesitate in booking him for your next event. I promise your audience will still be talking about it long after it's over!"

"Jake spoke at my real estate office last week to kick off our new year. Wow! He was amazing! He gave us the motivation needed to get things done this year. He gave us so many tips plus tools to use daily. I highly recommend Jake Thompson. I learned so much for my professional life but also tools for my personal life."

Staffing

"Jake was fully engaged, entertaining, and committed to presenting a unique approach to being successful in a competitive industry! He provided several action items for each of us to take away with and help focus on the daily grind. Jake exceeded expectations. He did not shy away from answering questions and making sure each individual left the room feeling better than when they entered. We would highly recommend Jake Thompson for any event needing a motivational speaker!"

"Shortly after our firm celebrated a strong first year in business, Jake encouraged me to keep the momentum going! He supported me in establishing and rolling out our 3 Core Values in our 2019 Kick-Off Meeting. Jake was the perfect opener as he took the time to craft and deliver a message that was not only motivating but unique and relatable to our business and team! He was extremely effective in engaging the audience and leaving everyone energized and ready to tackle the new year. I would highly recommend Jake if you and/or your team are needing some extra fuel and fire!"

Corporate Leadership

"I hired Jake to capstone an all-day business event with a small live audience but a livestream audience of thousands. We added him to the agenda late in the process, but working with Jake proved to be one of the easiest parts of the project. He was available and responsive in the lead-up to the event, and he was right on time and ready to work on the big day. His presentation was creative and directly on point with our audience, and the feedback we received has been very positive. I look forward to working with Jake again if and when the opportunity presents itself."

"As an executive sometimes it’s challenging to find the time to work on developing and continuing to improve my own skills. I’m glad that I took the time to invest in myself and listen to Jake Thompson’s message of competing every day and what it takes to be a champion. His message brought a lot of perspective to what’s important in life and what is just noise."

"Jake recently spoke to the transitioning military and spouses at Fort Sill, OK via an American Dream U event. He had a powerful message that resinated with the crowd. The audience left with key takeaways that they could take action on immediately. I've worked with over two hundred different speakers over the years, I would definitely recommend Jake!"

“To say that I was bombarded by emails and excitement about Jake’s visit would be an understatement. The impact he had on my team was profound. He inspired them to live the compete lifestyle for themselves and those we serve. They are all still talking about it.”

“What an honor to have Jake Thompson present at our annual GMs retreat for P-Fit DFW. Our team enjoyed hearing his message on Accountability, Action, Passion, and Success – all relevant in any setting from washing dishes to running a Fortune 500 company! His message is relevant regardless of your history, your intent or your business.”

"Jake’s energy, delivery, and ability to make the “7 ways to win in life” practical for the workplace and the home life was just what was needed in our plant. The material was very relatable for the diverse group of rising stars and leaders that attended. Jake was able to connect with everyone through his presentation and instill the competitive spirit it takes to WIN in ALL we do. It is truly great to see them spread the message and desire to Compete Every Day."

Education

“Jake is an awesome speaker. He kept the athletes, parents, and coaches engaged throughout it. These young ladies took a lot from the talk about being a better teammate and wanting to be remembered for that. He helped us realize that we are competing daily with the person in the mirror and wake up ready to be better than the day before. He is a great motivational speaker, came early, and stayed late and talked with some of the athletes individually who had some questions. It is a no brainer to have him come speak with your team."

"Our leadership students were inspired by the goal-setting workshop. Many of the students have referred to the goals they have set and are determined to achieve them."

"We brought Jake in this Fall to speak to our athletes at the University of Central Arkansas & he was awesome! He talked to them about how to 'Compete Every Day.' His topics were relevant & he really related to the athletes! I would highly recommend Jake if you are looking for someone to motivate your athletes or motivate your office workers!"

"Jake kicked off our 2019-2020 basketball season speaking to our basketball team, coaches, athletic directors, and administrators. I spoke with Jake ahead of time about the background of our team, and the high expectations we have for them. He absolutely nailed it! His message spoke volumes to our players, coaches, and administration. He challenged our kids and taught them about competing in school, life, and sports. All of the information Jake shared is content we can continue to build upon throughout the season. I highly recommend you invite Jake to come motivate your team!"

“Jake was an inspirational speaker whom our students enjoyed very much. He is engaging and kept the students focused on his topic”

"I have witnessed the magic that Jake Thompson brings as a guest speaker. He is a truly gifted speaker and is able to convey meaning and knowledge in an inspiring way. From a technical perspective, Jake is truly masterful. His presentations are logically structured and are interesting regardless whether you are an entry level team member or a CEO. He uses visual language, anecdotes, and powerful story telling to convey meaning. I recommend Jake for any inspirational speaking engagement!"
