At the heart of Jay’s keynote approach is a brilliant metaphor: driving. From road rage and potholes to gear shifts and detours, Jay draws eye-opening parallels between our behavior behind the wheel and our behavior at work. His signature philosophy, “You are what you drive,” challenges audiences to reflect on their habits, assumptions, and communication patterns—and then shift gears toward something better.
Jay’s delivery is anything but static. He weaves in humor, real-life stories, and interactive moments that keep audiences engaged and inspired. His keynotes are grounded in a deep respect for individual differences and the belief that small mindset shifts can unlock big results.
Jay’s passion for human performance was ignited by profound personal loss. Within a single year—just before graduating college—Jay lost his mother to cancer, his grandfather, and his best friend to suicide. These experiences shaped his lifelong dedication to helping people find purpose, shift perspective, and thrive through adversity. He often shares how changing your thoughts and behaviors can chart a new course both professionally and personally.

His message continues to resonate with organizations navigating change, managing conflict, and building high-functioning teams. Clients appreciate that Jay’s message connects with everyone—from the C-suite to the front lines—making it ideal for organizations seeking alignment across the board. Whether it’s R&D, Sales, Customer Service, Human Resources, or any other department, Jay’s insights meet people where they are and give them tools they can immediately apply. Whether he’s speaking to CPAs, CFOs, or construction executives, Jay’s ability to “connect the dots” between industries—and people—makes him a powerful presence at any event.
