YOU can’t get ahead until you take people with you and you can’t take people with you until you create an emotional connection.
We live in a world that celebrates massive accomplishments, millions of likes and huge followers. Rarely do we talk about the little moments that got us there.
As a story strategist, artist, animator and performer, Jason brings a fresh perspective to creativity and presenting with a focus on the power of emotional connection to build transformative change.
He works with leaders and organizations who want to bring their purpose and values to life, to lead in a way that amplifies their culture and relationships for sustainable growth.
“STORY IS OFTEN TALKED ABOUT BUT FEW PEOPLE TRULY UNDERSTAND IT. Jason empowered us to do it ourselves for long term growth and change.”
EBONY REMPEL - CEO YWCA Banff
WHAT YOU LEARN
The Own Your Story framework was developed from the learning Jason gleaned over 25 years working in film, television, video game, advertising and teaching. It is a road tested process focused on FINDING, CREATING, and SHARING your stories with maximum impact.
OWN YOUR STORY framework
CREATE - SHARE - ITERATE
It’s not enough to create something and declare the work done. You must put it out in the world, sharing it with customers, employees and other audiences to gage their response so that you can iterate on your ideas to share them again.
THE PROGRAMS
Using a TELL, SHOW, ASK methodology, you will be taken through interactive experiences that include drawing, writing and presenting as you flex your creative muscles and iterate your ideas in real time. Programs are available as a keynote, workshop, masterclass, and 1:1 coaching.
big LITTLE moments
It’s time we appreciate and share our big LITTLE moments.
Explore four road-tested story frameworks and build narratives to create action. Unpack the Audience Analysis tool and craft your own Neanderthal Purpose Poetry. You’ll write, draw and present as you uncover and iterate on your own big LITTLE moments to connect in a genuine and emotional way.
SHOW DON’T TELL
Stop presenting pdfs and start performing with purpose.
Using the SHOW don’t tell methodology, you’ll learn how to present and pitch in a way that engages your audience and invites the actions you want to create. Visually driven and rooted in your own unique style your presentations will always be remembered for how you made people feel, not what they read.
OWN THE MIC
Control the message you want to share.
Speaking is hard. Doing so with a microphone in front of you only amps up the stakes. When you’ve take the time to FIND your backstory, CREATE your messaging and SHARE key soundbites, you’'ll present with greater confidence, clarity and conviction every time.
