A passionate seasoned professional speaker, and a highly creative and innovative program leader, Jay keeps the attention of his audiences and clients with dynamic and animated activities, high impact material and practical solutions to current business, management and customer issues. He is a firm believer in the theory that “those who are talking and participating are learning,” therefore, much of his programs and keynotes actively involve the audience or class. Through props, music, activities and his highly effective instructional method known as IDEAS, he assures that learning is practical, interesting and fun. At the heart of all great performance is an active mind, open to learning and inventing; Jay energizes each learner into larger views and more dynamic perspectives.
