INSPIRATIONAL PUBLIC SPEAKER

TRANSFORMATIVE SEMINARS AND TALKS

Jon is a much sought-after public speaker, delivering inspirational seminars and talks to corporate organisations, schools, universities, community groups and veterans.

“I am an ordinary person who has been through some extraordinary events,” Jon explains. “I simply use my story to inspire belief in what is possible when humans resolve to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.”

Harnessing the emotions and lessons from his life experiences, Jon speaks about leadership, motivation and resilience through the highs and the lows. His speaking style is honest, straightforward and deeply moving.

Jon blends his experience as both a leader and a team player with well established models, adding the colour and context of his own reality to academic thinking around mental health and resilience.

He focuses on creating a better understanding of how we function as individuals – explaining the importance of developing self-leadership first, before applying those principles to the leadership of others.

I will share with you my memory of standing on a bomb and losing three limbs. I will tell you my story of harnessing my anger to avoid depression and to achieve life goals, and how I later learned to let that anger go, and be a happier person – forgiving those involved in my tragedy by taking the ultimate responsibility: to forgive myself.
