Self Before Success
In 'Self Before Success', Jake draws on his own experience and conversations with high performers to challenge the belief that happiness lies on the other side of greater achievement. Exploring perfectionism, comparison and the pressure to do more, he offers a different approach: ambition without self-destruction and progress without dismissing the life you already have. This deeply human keynote invites audiences to redefine success, stop postponing happiness and build a life they do not need to escape from.
 
AI... The Human Edge
In 'The Human Edge', Jake explores why the biggest challenge of AI is human, not technological. Drawing on his experience in high-performance environments, he examines how trust, curiosity, creativity and judgement help people embrace change. Rather than focusing on AI tools, this keynote explores how leaders can create cultures where people feel secure enough to learn, experiment and adapt.
 
The Low Reel
In 'The Low Reel', Jake shares the personal setbacks and difficult experiences behind his public success. He explores how these moments shaped his resilience, empathy, curiosity and determination, without suggesting that everything happens for a reason. This deeply personal keynote invites audiences to embrace the chapters they are tempted to hide and recognise how perceived weaknesses can become foundations for growth.
 
The Five People
In 'The Five People', Jake explores how the people around us shape our attitudes, ambition, behaviour and sense of what is possible. Drawing on stories from sport, broadcasting, business and his own life, he reveals the power of proximity in influencing who we become. This keynote goes beyond surrounding yourself with successful people, inviting audiences to create environments at work and at home where better habits, courage and high standards become the norm.
