Your educational, often humorous, and on target message was applicable not only to them but to their spouses, employees, and children. I have no doubt that steps were taken that very day to implement transformational steps into their lives. Thank you for making a difference, and your extra effort was visible and impactful."

"At our annual Summit in the Rocky Mountains, we gave Jon the unenviable task of delivering the keynote address on the final morning to an audience of 250 weary restaurant managers and headquarters staff. Not easy. Fifteen minutes into it, I had people whispering to me "that this was good!"  For the next 75 minutes Jon had the entire group listening intently to his every word, cheering at all the right times, taking copious notes and leaving the meeting on a terrific high with actionable steps to return and become their own CEOs. You could feel the energy. I highly recommend Jon Gordon!"

"WOW! You set such a positive tone to the start of our convention. To feel the energy you shared with us left us not just feeling good but feeling terrific about the ride ahead! Your message of enthusiasm transcends both professionally and personally. The personal stories that you shared with us touch the heart of the human spirit. I have had many of my mangers tell me how they are now committed to be the driver of "their bus." The results of faster service times for our guests tells more of the action they have taken from your talk and the “10 rules for the ride of your life” from your book, The Energy Bus. Your shared excitement for life is contagious! Thanks again!"

"This year our local chapter of SHRM is celebrating its 50th anniversary so our theme for our annual one day conference was "Investing in the Profession, Investing in You." We wanted a keynote speaker who could motivate our participants and provide them with tools to immediately apply to their personal lives and carry into their workplaces. Jon, your presentation did just that. The Energy Bus, 10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work and Team with Positive Energy was very well received. The energy in the room was contagious! A number of the participants have asked us for your contact information so they can have you come back and present at one of their company meetings. We wish you the very best as you spread the word and hope to see you again in the near future."

"Jon Gordon was a huge hit at the 6th Annual Texas Governors Conference for Women. His session was one of the most anticipated presentations at our Conference and judging by the response of the crowd in attendance, Jon delivered. Energy is truly a topic that people want, need, and flock to. I'd highly recommend Jon as a featured speaker at future events."

"Having Jon present to us at our annual conference was like catching lightning in a bottle. His energy, passion, and charisma not only set the tone for our convention, but left every franchisee with a spark to take back to their restaurants."

"We believe the idea of aligned team focus with energized individuals can deliver remarkable results. We as individuals and teams can choose to think about what is possible, be positive and to make a difference for the good each and every day - life is too short not to be on the right bus. Jon Gordon is a brilliant, friendly reminder of the power of this type of thinking."

"Jon's Energy and Passion put our entire company on 'the Bus.' We have had a record month in sales & I attribute our success to the "ENERGY BUS!"

"For the members of our management team, your amusing anecdotes and entertaining delivery underscored a powerful message of gratitude and appreciation. Thank you for reminding us that even the smallest success is worth celebrating. By simply recognizing how lucky we are to do what we do each day, your presentation inspired a renewed enthusiasm in this dedicated team of professionals."

"What an exhilarating start to our school year! It is often a daunting task to find a speaker who touches all hearts and minds in a diverse group of educators. Jon Gordon did just that, creating an energy "burst" across rows of 500 educators and coaches! His message is one easily taken into classrooms, meeting settings, coaching situations, and personal lives. Our Principals were amazed at the enthusiasm brought back to the buildings with a determination to implement Jon's "10 rules for the ride of your life". We're confident Jon's message and books will have a lasting impact on our school district."

"I cannot thank you enough for engaging the UniCare associates during the Fueling the Future event in Orlando, FL. Your message was unequivocally the highlight of the training event.

The spirit of your presentation remains at Organic Valley and for many, that hop on the bus has changed lives forever. You are an inspiration to us all and a remarkable example of the power of positive thinking!"

"Jon Gordon's concept of the Chief Energy Officer teaches us that attitude alignment isn't just little but a non-linear leap that makes the ultimate difference between abundance or lack of happiness, success, performance, motivation, ability to be team oriented, and our reality of achieving our personal goals in all parts of our lives."

"In every business environment, success or defeat is determined by the mindset of its leaders, and the ability to motivate and energize each member of the organization towards a common goal and culture. As the keynote speaker at our 2008 9th, annual awards luncheon, Jon provided our group of 400 award winners with positive strategies for their business and their lives. Jon has an innate ability to genuinely motivate and encourage” our sales associates walked away with a renewed enthusiasm and focus on the simple things they could do to infuse their lives with positive energy. Jon inspired our sales associates and leadership team in such a way they could not wait to start reading The Energy Bus and implementing the philosophy contained in the pages. Great job Jon!"

"I am always reading to find ways to improve myself and my athletes. I have used the principles from Jon Gordon's books "The Energy Bus," "The No Complaining Rule," and "Training Camp" to teach our Arizona State University players and the USA teams I coached how to enjoy the process and maximize their success. These books have helped create the foundation for our team to build positive healthy relationships, to develop individual toughness, and a Championship culture. I have even had my 10-year old son read them and he is anxiously awaiting his next Jon Gordon book. I have learned and taken so much from John Maxwell and Ken Blanchard over the years and now Jon Gordon is my new favorite author!"

"In the midst of external and internal change at the New York Public Library, Jon's lecture on Thriving during Waves of Change was very well received by our staff. He tamed many of our fears and uncertainties and by giving real life examples of overcoming adversity and change he showed us how to use change as an opportunity for renewal and vitality. Thank you Jon, for bringing hope and inspiration to all of us who were listening."

"We've always worked at helping our guys become better team leaders and grow as men. Jon's books and visit with the team are a valuable step towards taking the leadership training to another level, a level that we hope will help each and every member of our program not only next year but for the rest of their lives."

"Jon kicked off the conference with enough positive energy to fill the ballroom! His inspiring message drives home the importance of bringing joy and passion to our work as school leaders. It was a pleasure to work with him to plan his presentations as he truly walks the talk.

Every member of our community has shared our “word” and pledged to fuel one another on our mission to live purposefully as we grow together."

"Jon, thanks for your energetic presentation at our annual BKD Partner’s conference. I believe you sent our folks home with some real enthusiasm. We appreciate the time you invested in learning our standards and values and incorporating those into your message. Many guest speakers say they will tailor their message, but don’t do a very good job of it. It was clear to me that you spent the extra time and effort to tailor your program to our culture, and that really helped your points resonate with BKDrs. That sets you apart."

"I would recommend Jon to anyone! He immediately had everyone’s attention and they were taking notes the entire time he spoke. Most importantly his message stuck. Months later my team is still talking about him. Jon knocked it out of the park for us. It wasn’t just a home run it was a grand slam!"

"Hendrick BMW/MINI invited Jon Gordon to speak to our Management Team in January to deliver a positive message and motivate our team to kickoff 2011.

Beyond the shadow of a doubt, we will work with him again."
