For our premier event we were looking for someone to bring incredible energy to a program that mirrors our relentless culture. Not only did Jon put in the effort to understand and work into the program our new mission and brand identity, more importantly he was able to captivate every single person to participate, and did so by creating a fun and collaborative environment. A truly first-rate experience.

We hired Jon Colby as a motivational speaker for a recent Corporate Workshop. Jon delivered an exceptional presentation, which was on-point with our desired prospectus, while successfully keeping everyone engaged, mainly due to his entertaining way of conveying the message. Participants expressed what a pleasure it was to attend the half-day session. We would strongly recommend Jon to others who are planning events of this type, and we will definitely utilize his services in the future.

Jon Colby has presented to two different audiences for my company and both times he received RAVE reviews. The presentations were grounded in sound business principles and strategies while maintaining an energy-infused, awesome level of engagement and interactivity. The audience was up on their feet, interacting with each other all while they were absorbing the solid strategic messaging about agility and communication. Jon did an excellent job of investigating what we wanted to accomplish and infusing our culture into his event. We wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.

Jon’s engaging, laugh-provoking improv session loosened up a group of quiet, nervous college sophomores on a Saturday afternoon. Not only did their participation allow them to meet and talk to new students; but, they also learned valuable communication skills and were motivated to keep striving for their goals and to never give up. The students unanimously voted Jon’s session as the most powerful one of the day!

This workshop went above and beyond my expectations! I loved how he tied the activities into practical lessons like communication, listening skills, and teamwork. If you’re looking for something for your staff, you should totally use him! Your staff will have a blast! I have already shared some of his activities with my husband, who is a youth pastor. We enjoyed how he made everyone feel comfortable and his humor was refreshing. It was awesome to hear everyone laughing! In my opinion, I think our staff had the best Back-to-School meeting ever.

During the Spring of 2018, I reached out to Jon Colby to serve as the keynote speaker at our upcoming summer commencement. During the whole process, Jon was extremely professional. I was absolutely blown away by his speech! He effortlessly weaved poignant life-lessons through the lens of humorous improvisation, which was no easy task! A testament to his skill, he even got the entire audience on their feet to participate in games that emphasized the very points he was making. I received nothing but positive feedback with one corporate executive even telling me afterward that Jon was the best investment we had ever made for graduation. If you’re looking for someone who deeply cares about nourishing the human spirit through humor, look no further! Jon is a truly gifted professional speaker – you will not regret utilizing his services!

If you are looking for a high energy, fun, engaging, and unconventional keynote speaker and breakout leader that has useful takeaways, then look no further! Jon Colby was easy to work with and really wanted to get to know his audience. He tailored his presentations and activities to our group and that is something that not all speakers can, or are able to do. Jon was contacted by several of our members to set up trainings in their own school districts!
— Sheri Shipp, RD - Executive Director, Indiana School Nutrition Association
