Keynote Speaker and Workshop Leader: Professional Organizations, Small Businesses, and more

Head over to Jack's Speaking site for more information.

Data can be annoying. It's no secret that sometimes working with data is a real headache and if you're still using manual processes to gather and work with the data - it can really become time-consuming and grueling.

Jack wants to fix that. As a keynote speaker, workshop leader, and entrepreneur, he's focused on helping small businesses be more data-driven in a way that's simple enough for everyday use but also incredibly impactful. A classic tagline of his is "easier than you think and more impactful than you can imagine!"

Jack knows firsthand that data can be daunting, regardless of what level of data-driven you're at. He's on a mission to help small businesses become more data-driven, one relationship at a time. By combining his love of numbers with his passion for people, Jack has created a business that's all about unlocking the power of data for strategic insight and a speaking career that helps folks do it on their own!

Keynote Speeches

Everyone has a bunch of data in their company. Financial, sales, marketing, operations - the worst thing you can do is let it sit in the background. Most people only use a small portion of their data and they can't use it to its full extent because they don't have the right tools in place! Jack knows that with the right approach, data can actually be enjoyable. In fact, he has a whole keynote speech dedicated to the idea that "Data is Annoying. Let's make it fun!". It's a whole lot more usable and even fun when data doesn't feel like data - it can feel like an interactive performance view into your company!

In this speech, Jack takes the audience on a fun and entertaining journey through the world of data. He shows how data ties to business goals, provides a framework for tracking the right key performance indicators (KPIs) and discusses dashboard best practices to loop it all together. Naturally, you can also expect some pineapple fun facts thrown in along the way. Who doesn’t love a good icebreaker?

While Jack does hope you walk away with some new pineapple knowledge, the ultimate goal is for his audience to feel significantly more “data-confident”.

Jack’s other main keynote speech is for all the numbers folks out there trudging through endless boring P&L reports. Jack knows that visualizing your financials can make a huge difference in your business. That's why he has another keynote speech called "P&L's are for Bookkeepers. Dashboards are for Decision-Makers."

In this speech, Jack shows how having a dashboard that displays exactly what you want to see can make you more efficient, effective, and decisive - even if you hate financials. By automating the process of creating, analyzing, and acting on your financial data, you can take your business to the next level!

Workshops

Jack’s workshops are perfect for groups of 10 - 20 that would like a bit more individual attention and guidance. Jack’s expertise in data-driven decision-making and how he goes about presenting it is an engaging and confidence-building experience for participants. Each audience member will normally come away with at least one action item!

The workshop can cover the topics listed above or go more in-depth on detailed instructions and processes for how small business owners can leverage data to grow their businesses and make informed decisions. Participants learn about various data analysis tools and techniques, how to identify and track key performance indicators (KPIs), and how to create and use dashboards effectively. It covers real-life examples and best practices that demonstrate how data-driven decision-making can be both impactful and easier than you think.

Ultimately, participants develop a more positive and productive relationship with data, while also feeling empowered to take their businesses to the next level.
