I Teach Frameworks That Create Consistent Performance - Not Just January Motivation.
Most Keynote Speakers Leave You Fired Up by Friday - but Your Team Is Back to Old Habits by Monday.
let's change that.
That's why I don't deliver feel-good motivation.
I teach proven frameworks that turn knowledge into action and build cultures where standards stick.
As a CSP® (Certified Speaking Professional, earned by less than 17% of speakers worldwide), I've trained over 100,000 leaders from pharmaceutical to the NFL to construction on how to better compete every day.
The difference?
My clients don't just get inspired for a day. They get systems that create consistent performance long after I leave the stage.
I've worked with hundreds of teams - from global sales teams and leadership groups to local construction crews and entrepreneurs who faced the same frustration:
*Strong kickoffs that lose momentum by March
*Teams that know what to do but don't do it consistently
*Accountability that "dies on the vine" when pressure drops
Why Your Last Keynote Didn't Stick - And How to Fix It
Most keynote speakers deliver feel-good motivation that fades by Monday. Jake Thompson teaches frameworks that create accountability cultures that last.
The problem is that your team knows what to do. The strategies are clear. The goals are set. So why does accountability die by February?
Why do good quarters turn into bad quarters? Why does success breed complacency instead of momentum?
Because knowledge doesn't equal action. And temporary motivation doesn't create lasting behavior change.
Jake's programs are built for sales-led organizations, construction leadership teams, and high-performing groups who are done with rah-rah hype and ready for systems that stick.
You'll walk away with:
✓ The C.O.M.P.E.T.E. Framework® - A 7-step system for building accountability that doesn't require constant external pressure
✓ The "Me vs. Me" Competitive Model - How to shift from comparing to competitors to competing with your own best
✓ Sustainable Performance Standards - Frameworks that turn good quarters into consistent results, not yo-yo performance
✓ Actionable Implementation Plans - Not just inspiration—your team gets 60-day roadmaps for embedding these systems into daily work
Jake's programs are a perfect fit for organizations are struggling with: accountability, translating knowledge into action, inconsistent results, complacency after success, and leadership that can manage tasks but don't inspire performance.
Jen Martin, Citizens Bank
“I am a huge Compete Every Day fan. I lead a global team of 500 as the Head of Enterprise Fraud and Claims for Citizens Bank. I really enjoyed the recent leadership book. I am having my son, who is a senior in high school, read Compete Every Day, and it’s resonating–if I can only give him the tools I didn’t have at his age. YOUR WORK HAS MEANT A LOT TO ME AND MY SUCCESS IN RECENT YEARS.
James Newman, LinkedIn
“I’ve been a fan of the Compete Every Day message for a while now. The gear is sharp, but the mindset behind it is what really resonated. I’ve been on a long transformation journey over the last few years, dropping over 400 lbs and rebuilding my life physically, mentally, and spiritually. I LIKE TO SAY THAT I’M THE UNLIKELY ATHLETE. I definitely need more CED gear as I keep changing sizes. Good problem to have.”
Claire Wells, LinkedIn
“Every damn time. Thank you, Jake, for being in the right place at the right time. I attempted my first Ironman 70.3 and made it 4-ish minutes in the water. Had to get pulled out (by my choice) because of panic. THIS MORNING’S MESSAGE STUCK BIG TIME. I headed out and completed a full 70.3, knowing these are just roadblocks.”

“Jake's message resonated deeply with attendees across industries, roles, and experience levels, delivering practical takeaways that extended well beyond the keynote stage. Rather than relying on abstract motivation, HE PROVIDED CONCRETE FRAMEWORKS THAT PEOPLE COULD IMMEDIATELY APPLY.”
BILL, MCCLONE INSURANCE
“We've had tremendous success for the last four years, and we believe the thing that will elevate us to the next level is a different mindset. The thing people will implement most is the commitment to follow through and holding each other accountable. We've done pretty good with accountability, but like anything, accountability dies on the vine if you don't live and breathe it every day. JAKE'S 'COMPETE EVERY DAY' FRAMEWORK WAS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED.”
KARL, HIGHSTREET INSURANCE
"I've been following Jake's Compete Every Day message since 2017, and his philosophy has been a powerful influence on how I lead and how our teams show up every day. We brought Jake in for our National Sales Summit, and HE DELIVERED IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. What stood out most was the intentionality and preparation he brought to the table—he didn't just show up and speak, he customized everything to our needs."
