Following Jasons GroupM threw an awards ceremony that Jason says rivaled the Oscars and he was pleased to take part and present awards alongside Swee Lynn Chong, GroupM Chinas Managing Director of Corporate Communications, who said, "Jasons speech was well delivered, inspiring, easy to understand and digest which isnt easy to accomplish with an audience whose native language isnt English," and added, "he is friendly, personable, but at the same time humble and deeply respectful of our culture. We had a lot of fun working together!"
With more than 200 trips to Asia, the Middle East and Oceania under his belt Jason is always looking for more opportunities to bring the results of his research on speed, productivity, growth, leadership, innovation and reinvention to companies around the world who are committed to embracing change and growth.

Jason Knocks it Out of the Park for VW
"Jason asked what it would take for him to deliver on my expectation for our team leadership teams conference. I stated the teams body language, their engagement while he was speaking, the response to his stories and examples and the overall reaction from my team when he was done would determine how he did. Based on the reaction, engagement and response Jason Jennings knocked it out of the park. Thanks to him for a very strong message. I had many people come to me after the event telling me how much they enjoyed his presentation and how the information he gave them touched them in so many different ways. "

EDUCATION

Event: Executive Leadership Experience Workshop
Result: Standing Ovation
Dear Jason:
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the outstanding workshop and lunch presentation you provided for our Executive Leadership Experience program. The participant feedback was outstanding. More than that, the time you took to get to know the participants and answer their questions during the meals and breaks was an example of the generosity of spirit that sets you apart from the typical "speaker." You became a part of our class, and by building those relationships you were far more influential. The messages you provided and the way you brought your points to life with warmth, honesty, and candor, created a truly transformative session that I know these participants will not soon forget.
I hope that you will be able to come back to Belmont soon.
With highest regards,

"HI Jason--
I left Deerhurst on Friday night and am just now back in the office after a little recovery. I had planned to reach out to you this morning but you beat me to the punch! The conference was just fantastic. Our group was engaged and reinvigorated. You were a big part of that success. Our folks absolutely loved your presentation. The straw poll shows that you were the best among our outside presenters. There were so many positive remarks. Your content was bang on. You were funny and thought-provoking. A great package. Dirk and I couldnt be more pleased. I hope our paths cross again in the future. If you are in the Toronto area at some point in the near future and find yourself at odds for lunch or dinner, please call on me."
Best,
Susan
P.S. We have a post-conference survey in circulation right now. Once I have the results back, Ill send you further insight on your presentation. Im sure there will be a gem of a quote that you can use.

Result: Standing Ovation
In June 2012 Jason did a keynote address for Curian Capital in Denver, Colorado. Curians business model is based on a simple idea: change the way America invests by delivering benefits to mainstream investors that were once reserved for the wealthiest individuals and institutions. In attendance were the Curian leadership team and a select group of independent financial advisors who represent one billion dollars of Curians ten billion under management. Jason was captivated by the leadership of Curian and they were obviously captivated by his performance as the standing ovation and the following words indicate:
"Jason Jennings is a dynamic, energetic and wildly charismatic speaker! His ground breaking research identifying the unique characteristics that define the excellence of the best companies in the world can provide visionary leaders with a proven roadmap to success. If you choose to be great, you must first embrace change and embrace the ideas that Jason so joyously and vividly shares to his audiences around the world."

"Jason,
I would like to thank Jason Jennings for the outstanding job he did at Greene, Tweed's Innovation event, we recently held in Monterey, California. Jason led our top customers and Greene Tweed's executive team on a journey through the most innovative companies in the world, delivering over 2 - 1/2 hours of high impact innovation best practices and lessons learned. He and his research team, built a data based roadmap of how we all can truly impact our organizations now and in the future.
The time we spent with Jason were more than we could have hoped for! Not only did Jason deliver what promised, but his continuous interaction with our group and obvious passion he has around business and innovation spilled over into the larger group. A number of our customers wanted to find out if Jason was available to speak to their teams and kept us talking late into the night, well after we should have gone to bed.
What you get with Jason on top of the actual speech, is the desire and effort to connect with the various organizations when he is not "on the clock". His pre meeting phone calls to our customers, sitting down with us at breakfast, interacting with the group whenever he could find time was truly exhilarating.
Simply put we were "wowed"!

"I have been thinking of you all day today. What a fabulous session we had yesterday. During last night's reception and all day today I have been hearing wonderful reviews. Just left a meeting with a CIO on another topic and he quoted you and thanked me for bringing you in. That is the highest form of flattery.
The content and delivery of your presentation were perfect. The engagement of the audience was palpable and their enthusiasm for this topic was heartwarming.
The highlight of my evening last night was when our CEO approached me and thanked me stating that this was just what we needed and well done. By the way Charlie also personally thanked me and noted how the event exceeded his expectations.
I want to thank you personally for your commitment to this work. You truly walk the talk and are a steward of leadership learning. It has been a pleasure working with you on this. I am sure our paths will cross again in this journey, until then, be well my friend."
