BE KNOWN FOR RESULTS.

The greatest leaders consistently take on challenges, deliver deep value to their organization, develop themselves and understand their team members.

But what happens when those leaders feel underdeveloped or overwhelmed by their roles? A recent study shared that 69% of millennials feel a lack of leadership development.

That is when Jake Thompson steps in.

Jake Thompson

When you think motivational speaker you might think of a speaker that simply helps people “feel good,” but I am here to flip that definition upside down and raise your bar. I might not be the motivational speaker you’re used to. 

 

 

My name is Jake A. Thompson, and my mission is to teach as many leaders as possible to Compete Every Day, achieve the professional and personal outcomes they want, and reach their full potential. 

 

 

I have experienced the soul-crushing weight of giving up on your dreams. I also know what it’s like to work hard, start with nothing, and build it into a successful organization and fired-up team. 

 

 

Integrity is important to me. I am happiest delivering tangible implementable improvements for my clients and audience and won’t rest until I do. I’ve been lucky to work with global brands like Titleist/FootJoy, National Breast Cancer Foundation, and Direct Diamonds, leveraging experience from building a 7-figure organization that I started by first selling t-shirts out of the trunk of my car. 

 

 

To date, I am grateful to have impacted over 80,000 people directly with my messages on competing every day, and host a podcast for leaders ranked in the top 1% globally.

 

 

Here is what I have learned; success isn’t a secret, a magic formula, a hack… but understanding how shifts in focus & daily actions build a champion’s mindset – it will transform our day-to-day into a winning life. I’m on a mission to show you how.

TRUSTED FEEDBACK

Jake’s presentation was inspirational, engaging, and thought provoking and his energy grabbed our attention from the beginning to the end.

Jake’s ability to blend his personal story with strategic insights provided motivation that has lasted well beyond the event. 

One of the things that sets Jake apart is his preparation. Prior to the summit, Jake took time to understand our company, our business segment and some of the challenges that we were facing in our plants. He used this information to tailor his comments to what was most relevant for our team.

I highly recommend Jake for future events. He will dramatically change the way you view your competition.

VP Operations, Westrock

We bring in guest speakers to talk with our Dallas Cowboys sales, service, and operations departments each year. These talks are organized as 90-minute lunch and learn and after surveying our group, Jake Thompson was one of their all-time favorites.  Jake’s message to our group was about competing every day and the mindset required to elevate your performance and your team’s.

 

His thoughts on leadership, controlling the controllables, and his competitive formula resonated, and everyone left fired up and ready to seize the day! Jake’s talk helped set the tone for 2024.

Brett Dougherty

Sales Manager, Dallas Cowboys

So glad we utilized Jake for our sales team.

Jake delivered the principles in a very relatable, upbeat and positive style and really helped the group to appreciate more how they are accountable for their own success and personal growth. The lessons acted not only great reminders but also highlighted new tactics on evaluating personal effectiveness and efficiency that will go right into action with our team. Enlightening, impactful and applicable. We definitely got better as individuals and sales professionals as a result.
