This session invites audiences on a funny, honest, and deeply human journey through the voice in our heads that keeps us small.
Drawing on neuroscience, storytelling, and interactive exercises, Jordan helps professionals recognize, name, and reframe their Inner Critic—transforming it from a relentless saboteur into an unlikely ally.
Through vivid stories (including his own), practical frameworks, and live reflection, participants learn to uncover the “rules” that quietly run their lives, reconnect with what truly matters, and strengthen their Inner Champion—the wiser voice that fuels courage, creativity, and authentic leadership.
Equal parts insight, laughter, and real talk, this keynote leaves people feeling seen, lighter, and ready to lead with more compassion and clarity.

A perennial challenge for any successful lawyer is developing a practice and expertise while still servicing clients at the level expected of an elite law firm, and continuing to generate new business, take care of yourself and your family, and do it all with a smile on your face.
How can you balance your desire to deliver high quality work while maintaining a full pipeline? How can you ensure that you are looking after your personal well-being and the well-being of those who rely on you? How can you keep everyone happy? And, should you?
This session teaches participants tools and strategies for finding the balance between business development, client work, firm responsibilities and family and self-care.
Specific learning outcomes include understanding:
How to map out and strategize for the next phase of your career
How to minimize the incidence of burnout
How to leverage mentorship in designing your practice for balance

This session is a punchy, practical keynote about taking the leaps you’ve been avoiding — career, creativity, relationships — and why you already have everything you need to make them.
Jordan breaks down fear (what it is, how it shows up, why it’s useful), then gives you simple practices to identify your “scary things,” test small experiments, and build the muscle of moving toward them.
Designed for junior, mid-career, and pre-retirement pros facing “diving-board moments,” this talk blends candid personal stories, audience Q&A, and clear next steps.
Expect less pep talk, more progress: clarity on what you want, tools to act, and the courage to keep going—even while scared. (“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality,” as Seneca quips.)

Originally designed as a 6 part workshop series for a global, 4000+ employee packaging enterprise, this is an interactive leadership development program for organizations that want to strengthen their culture of growth, learning, and connection.
Designed for emerging and experienced leaders alike, it helps participants redefine mentorship—not as a checkbox or HR initiative, but as a core leadership competency.
Through practical workshops, small-group learning pods, and hands-on tools, participants learn how to build trust, foster psychological safety, and have the conversations that drive real development.
By the end, they leave with the confidence and skills to mentor with purpose, communicate with clarity, and lead in ways that inspire others to grow—creating a ripple effect of engagement, innovation, and impact across their teams and organizations.
-
Designed specifically to navigate the challenges of “hot topic” conversations in the workplace, this workshop is an interactive keynote for anyone tired of avoiding the hard talks that matter most.
Jordan draws on his years as a lawyer, coach, and human being who’s learned—often the hard way—that the only way out of conflict is through it.
Blending story, psychology, and practical frameworks like Non-Violent Communication and the ENTER Model, he helps audiences recognize what’s really happening beneath disagreement, stay grounded when emotions rise, and turn confrontation into curiosity.
This is not a lecture on being “nice”—it’s a guide to being real: how to listen deeply, speak honestly, and walk away with your relationships (and self-respect) intact.
Perfect for teams, leaders, and professionals ready to replace defensiveness with dialogue and rediscover the power of human connection.
