Jason Young Speaking Topics

  • Inspired Talent — Do you have IT?

    Employee engagement is paramount. Without it, organizations struggle and employees remain disengaged, operating on the low end of performance and fulfillment. Research confirms only 29% of the workforce is fully engaged – meaning they like what they do, feel supported, productive and rewarded. The other 71%? Most are just trading hours for dollars with their heart, head and focus somewhere else. As a result, companies get less than they need from their workforce and suffer with poor results in sales, profit, growth, turnover and customer satisfaction. The answer? Inspired Talent. Because truly engaged employees are those who are motivated, committed and fulfilled. Motivation comes from within. Commitment is a decision that is made. Fulfillment is the result. And none of these happen unless leaders inspire – which is the powerful external influence that drives employee engagement. In this presentation, Jason Young shows leaders how to create an environment where employees are inspired, engaged and can do their best work. In this inspirational keynote, Jason teaches that Inspired Talent is the result of proven leadership practices that lead people to their full potential and help them, not just survive, but to thrive. Participants will come away with the practical insights and tools needed to have what every organization desperately needs… Inspired Talent.

  • Culturetopia — The Ultimate High-Performance Workplace

    Based on his experience as an insider at famed Southwest Airlines and consultant to dozens of other Fortune 500 companies, Jason Young offers a dramatically different approach to creating and sustaining a high-performance workplace. His solution for companies is to create an organizational culture where employees can do their best work and one that will produce the desired performance outcomes in productivity, profitability, employee retention, and customer satisfaction. The key is intentionally identifying and developing the essential factors that impact performance for any organization: leadership principles, management practices, team alignment, and employee behavior. These are the elements that truly define organizational culture and that have the greatest impact on results.

  • Servicetopia — The Ultimate Customer Service Experience

    In this presentation, Jason Young explains how a company can deliver a transformational service experience — Servicetopia — with each and every customer encounter. What is Servicetopia? Imagine an environment where all employees are aligned with the mission and vision of the company and they go to work committed to providing exceptional service to every customer, both internal and external. Purpose. Passion. Professional. Process. Pizazz. These are the hallmarks of Servicetopia, the behaviors required for delivering exceptional customer service, every day. In this presentation, Jason Young shares how a company can deliver on Servicetopia, where high levels of customer satisfaction and retention are sustained; and where employees derive personal and professional satisfaction from delivering great service and the customer is the beneficiary.

  • Lead Smart — High-Performance Leadership

    Jason Young teaches that leaders develop, motivate and empower people to achieve extraordinary results while providing vision and guidance throughout the entire process. Truly smart leaders know that is more than a mere statement of fact, but rather a personal and professional challenge to be met every day. Faced with two choices – lead smart or die – they’ll know what to do to achieve your organization’s success. They will find out the new definition of becoming a person of influence and how that applies to everyone in your organization. Your leaders will hear how organizing talent to build effective teams creates an incredible workplace culture and how applying successful coaching skills will help your teams excel.

    They’ll learn how to handle change – for better or worse – and how effective disagreement management can enhance team productivity.

  • Smart Teams — Creating Teams that Succeed Together

    Teamwork. Team building. Team player. Successful organizations know that business is not really a game to be won or lost. But to achieve success, everyone must use many of the same principles found on our playing fields today. In this presentation, Jason Young goes beyond the buzzwords to expose the keys that help people work together as a team to achieve real success. By developing goals, your team will create shared initiatives out of trust and mutual respect for one another. That active collaboration will lead to employee empowerment and organizational momentum. You’ll discover how your All-Stars can raise the bar within your organization without alienating your other players while creating an environment that rewards risk-taking. From base hits to home runs, everyone plays their part to attain victory.
