Ever meet one of those people born to be on a stage? That’s Jon – and that’s why he left the corner office, company car, country club membership and highly successful career as a corporate Vice President to fulfill his purpose and passion to challenge others laugh louder, perform better and Achieve More!
After that? There was no turning back. With a unique skillset, a purposeful presence, and the kind of energy that seems to transform a room – he gets audiences on their feet, and to the edge of their seats hungry for the innovative insights and game-changing solutions he shares for leaders, teammmates and organizations. As a motivational speaker, event or conference emcee or business magician, he engages and energizes the crowd. He uses his amazing art of performance, inspiring stories and his unique “It’s Showtime” performance philosophy to bring home the belief and very real desire to create greater impact in what we do and with the people we do it for. It’s at this point we begin to demonstrate and achieve the sense ofSignificance and making a difference.
Hi, It’s Jon. I’m happy to talk anytime about your event and what we can accomplish with your participants. Call me anytime – I’m still old-fashioned and answer the phone (even in an airport).
How did he get started? Jon Petz is not a business magician who decided to turn “opening keynote speaker.” He’s a relatable “everyman” who has worked in a warehouse, flipped burgers, driven a forklift, sat in the cubicle, made cold calls, managed in corporate America, competitively grew a highly successful sales career, and managed a national sales team across 52 offices. His ability to draw on these experiences and more allow him to resonate with audience members with humor – and the human touch. With Jon, there’s no “Diva” or drama. And that? Makes him a favorite for corporate audiences, association events, event planners, and leadership teams. Bottom line? He gets people. From all backgrounds, positions, and diversities – and they get him because when they laugh, they learn more. When he connects from the heart because he’s walked a time in their ‘shoes’ – they pay attention. They can see themselves in the answers. And that? Makes all the difference.
When he’s not on the road wowing audiences and empowering others to realize significance, he is at home with the real stars of the show, his beautiful wife and daughters.
From mediocre to MAGNIFICENT. What can that do for YOUR organization? Skyrocket productivity. Send morale soaring. Fuel long-term team connectivity. All of which helps them create a culture where creativity is applauded, service is exponential—and customers can’t wait to share their story about YOU!
Anyone on your team flying under the radar? Meeting expectations but not much else? Time to pull out all the stops. Jon draws from his own sales career and on-stage career experiences to share the value in turning mundane moments into SIGNIFICANT, memorable—even MAGNIFICENT chances to impact your customers while gaining mind and market share.
Transform customer and team moments from boring to BOOM! Organizations today want teams who are engaged, passionate, and purposeful in their work. They’re hungry for the how-to’s that can help everyone from the person answering the phone to the one in the corner office understand their significance and treat every opportunity and relationship as the main event that it is rather than the dress rehearsal it is not. We often don’t realize that successful relationships are not a ‘thing’ we conquer; they are a series of significant moments that matter. When we understand that significance is not something we can personally create, but rather something that is gifted to us – we can make the shifts necessary to stand-out in our careers, communities and life.
What you will learn:
How to identify, deliver and appreciate the simple moments that are the foundational building blocks to achieving significance.
Which suits YOUR event needs the most?
In today’s world Leaders don’t have the luxury of “just showing up”. They’ve got to put rock solid foundations beneath their teams, help them understand the impact that each of them make no matter their position, and lead them to reach far beyond what any one individual believes possible.
The most hysterical, inspiring and jaw-dropping meeting you will ever have! This original and most popular program appeals to all types of events as it’s designed for executive leaders, to business owners as well as the “It’s my first day” participants.
It’s not enough to ‘just’ show up, be ‘just’ an employee, or to stick with the status quo. In today’s world, merely meeting an expectation can be like doing nothing at all. Organizations need every team member and leader to show up strong and perform every day. And don’t we all want to be appreciated, respected and recognized for how we surprise and delight our customers, our team or our boss? Of course, we do! However, we struggle with mindsets, the unknown and the fact that we’re so busy JUST trying to make it through the day. To solve this, Jon will prove peak performance is simpler than you think. That you can perform at your best when the spotlight may suddenly shine and create a true SHOWTIME moment to be remembered. By combining the power of NOW, with the power of WOW you will leave this keynote experience and never be “JUST” anything ever again.
