Honored to be the keynote speaker at 2019 HR Symposium for the Columbus, Georgia SHRM Chapter on October 24th 2019. The theme is: RIDING THE RAPIDS OF HUMAN RESOURCES. Grab your life vest and join hundreds of HR professionals from all over the State of Georgia and east Alabama at our 11th annual fall Symposium as we learn to ride the Class VI rapids of HR! This year”s event will feature several high impact speakers, concurrent sessions, and much more.
My interactive keynote presentation will be on building high performing teams and engaged cultures. Attendees will be playing Cards Against Mundanity in small groups to experience how to build high levels of trust, closeness, and teamwork in minutes.
Here’s an overview (and more information on my keynote speaking can be found here):
Think about the best team you’ve ever been on. The team that was the most collaborative, connected, and productive. How did it feel to be connected to something bigger and feel like you could accomplish anything? What if you could recreate that feeling and success on every team you were on? What if you could accomplish this across your entire company?
That feeling (and success) you just thought of is the most powerful business asset. It’s the foundation for a highly successful “culture and people strategy.”
In this interactive presentation, attendees will learn how to “dial in” to the right behaviors to build a high performing culture and maximize teamwork and employee engagement in minutes. They’ll also play the Cards Against Mundanity game (in small groups) so they’ll experience how these strategies will work for them (including how to skyrocket trust in minutes).
Attendees will walk away with deep relationships with other attendees and be much more engaged at the conference.
The presentation based on research studies where participants built their closest relationships in their lives with a complete stranger.
HR professionals can also use these strategies with hiring, new employee onboarding, conflict resolution, trainings, and many other areas.
More than 25,000 employees have played Cards Against Mundanity at Amazon, Southwest Airlines, Ernst & Young, Google, Gillette, Microsoft, Oracle, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Worldwide Express, CareHere, Oklahoma City Thunder (NBA team), Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Novartis, Merck, Vonage, and many others.
Attendees will:
1. Learn the “secret” strategies to quickly maximize engagement, teamwork, culture-building and employee retention.
2. Discover how to build high levels of trust both internally and externally with third-parties to instantly create great working relationships, reduce conflicts and maximize productivity.
3. Walk away with best practices tools (including a free copy of Cards Against Mundanity PDF version) that can they can implement right after the session to improve company culture and employee engagement.
4. Use the strategies from the session to influence others and get more buy-in for HR initiatives.
3.0 HRCI Recertification Credits & SHRM PDCs will be applied for those attending.
Looking forward to speaking in Atlanta tomorrow on how to build high performing and engaged culture for sales teams. See the sign-up link below at Vonage office w/ MarketSource Inc..
We’ll also be discussing how to create great teamwork, resolve conflicts and more effectively communicate. This information can also be used with customers and prospects to close more deals and upsell
This is interactive. Attendees will play Cards Against Mundanity in small groups to experience what it feels like to build deep, trusted relationships in minutes. Everyone will get a PDF version of the game (& you can buy physical card deck). 25,000+ managers and employees are using it.

What you just thought of is the most powerful business asset. It’s the foundation for a highly successful “people strategy.”
Teamwork is the number one “soft skill” every employee must master. It’s also the least understood skill.
In this interactive session, attendees will learn how to “dial in” to the right behaviors to maximize employee engagement, teamwork, and performance to make a significant impact in their organizations. They’ll also play the Cards Against Mundanity game (in small groups) so they’ll experience how these strategies will work for them along with building relationships with other attendees.
More than 20,000 employees have played Cards Against Mundanity in organizations such as Amazon, Southwest Airlines, Ernst & Young, Google, Gillette, Microsoft, Oracle, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Worldwide Express, CareHere, Oklahoma City Thunder (NBA team), Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Novartis, Merck, Intel, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and many others. It’s been used in every size organization and every industry.
Attendees will:
Speaking in Minneapolis @TCSHRM Spring Conference “All In!” Spoke at Oklahoma State SHRm Conference yesterday. Video clip from small group team building game we played, Cards Against Mundanity, to skyrocket trust in minutes to maximize teamwork, performance, engagement and effort.
Takes 200-400+ hours to build close work relationships. This does it in 45 minutes. It’s essential for today’s agile workforce and key piece of any “People Strategy”.
Attendees experienced why this process will work for them & get a tool to use!

“Jason was an excellent and very motivational speaker at our April Social Media Dallas event. His innovative framework for building successful and efficient teams is without a doubt a breakthrough practice that every business can and should immediately implement. Our members really enjoyed playing his Cards Against Mundanity game and getting to know each other. We were all very impressed with his ability to connect with the audience and provide valuable takeaways! We hope to have Jason back as a key speaker for next year!”
