Are you planning a Meeting, event, or conference in Dallas?
You know the drill. You book a keynote speaker for your Dallas event. The talk gets good reviews. Attendees feel energized. Two weeks later, everyone's back to old habits.
Meanwhile, your competitors are building momentum. Your top performers plateau. Your leadership team drifts toward "good enough." And you're left wondering: What was the point of investing in this event?
Here's what many Dallas event planners won't admit: Most corporate events waste their speaker budget on temporary inspiration instead of lasting transformation.
Dallas is one of the most competitive business markets in the country. Your team doesn't need another motivational speech. They need a competitive operating system that works when the applause stops and drift sets in.
That drift is what Jake Thompson is built to interrupt.
Jake is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP®) — a credential held by fewer than 700 professional speakers worldwide - and an anti-complacency strategist who has delivered 500+ keynotes to sales organizations, construction leadership teams, and executive groups across pharmaceutical, financial services, insurance, real estate, and franchising. Clients include Dallas’ own Deloitte, Dallas Cowboys, TEXO, Cacique, Affinius Capital, Weaver, and more.
He founded Compete Every Day in 2011 and grew it into a brand worn by competitors in 62 countries. The frameworks he teaches from the stage were pressure-tested in his own business first.
What your Dallas audience leaves with:
Jake builds every program around your industry, your language, and the specific drift showing up in your team. Your audience walks out with:
*A diagnostic for spotting complacency before it shows up in the numbers
*The C.O.M.P.E.T.E.® Framework — a system that runs on a random Tuesday when no one is watching
*Language leaders can use in Monday's meeting, not just at the conference
*One standard to hold themselves to: beat yesterday
Compete with yesterday.
Collaborate with your team.
Conquer your market.
“I had the pleasure of having Jake speak at our recent conference (in Fort Worth), and his presentation was nothing short of inspirational and impactful. Jake possesses the rare ability to seamlessly blend personal stories with actionable strategic insights, creating a tapestry of motivation and practical advice that resonates deeply with his audience.
What sets Jake apart is his meticulous preparation. Prior to the event, he took the time to understand our organization’s unique challenges and goals. This resulted in a tailored presentation that not only engaged our team but also provided us with real-world strategies for enhancing our operations.
Beyond his prowess as a speaker and author, Jake is a joy to work with. His professionalism, punctuality, and approachability make him an ideal partner for any event, big or small.”

Questions Before You Book
-
Jake builds every talk around your industry, your audience, and the specific drift your team is facing—post-record-year complacency, a comfortable plateau, or busy work that isn't closing.
-
Fees vary by event format, audience, and customization. Share your details and Jake will respond with availability and a clear proposal.
-
This is the single objection your differentiation doc flags as the fear "every culture-minded buyer has." A warm prospect on a booking page is exactly who's quietly worried about it. Answering it preempts the biggest reason a culture-focused HR or C-suite buyer hesitates.
-
Pure logistics, and it does double duty: it answers a real planning question and plants gentle urgency (calendar fills up) without any of the "act now!" desperation you've banned. Warm bookers are often scoping timelines.
-
Speaks directly to the "intentionality and preparation" your clients praise in testimonials. It signals the process is collaborative and reassures the planner that customization isn't extra work on their end.
-
Yes. Sales teams, construction and leadership groups, associations, and growing organizations all book Jake. The problem he solves—complacency after success—shows up everywhere.
