Leadership Keynote Speaker for Pressure, Change, and  AI Disruption.

Dr. Jason Jones is an organizational psychologist, executive coach, and keynote speaker based in Dallas, Texas. He speaks on leadership, resilience, change, and performance under pressure — including how teams adapt to AI. He holds a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Oklahoma, is the founder and CEO of LeaderPath, and has written two bestselling books, Activator and NeuroAdaptive Leadership.

Dr. Jones delivers four core keynotes. Rewire for Pressure is about becoming NeuroAdaptive and leading with agility through disruption and AI. ACTIVATE! is about leading a culture of motivation and engagement. EVOLVE & THRIVE is about building a mindset that holds up through change. UNLOCK YOUR BRAINPOWER is about focus, flow, and high performance. All four are grounded in neuroscience and shaped around your audience.

Most leadership speakers tell you what worked for them. Dr. Jones is a trained organizational psychologist, so he explains what is actually happening in the brain and gives proven and practice neuroscience-based strategies. He has also led from inside a business.  He led executive education at AT&T for more than 6,000 leaders worldwide, has led high-performing teams, and has owned multiple businesses. That combination of science and operating experience is rare on a keynote stage.

NeuroAdaptive Leadership is a neuroscience-based model Dr. Jason Jones developed to help leaders rewire how they think, respond, and perform under pressure. It is built on 5 core skills: Attuning, Decoding, Aligning, Programming, and Transferring. The idea behind it is simple; when leaders become more brain-adaptive on the inside, they lead more clearly and steadily on the outside. It is also the subject of his 2026 book "NeuroAdaptive Leadership."

Every keynote is customized before Dr. Jones takes the stage. It starts with a planning call to learn your theme, your audience, and what you need people to do differently afterward. From there he works in your language, your examples, and your real challenges into the content and lines the message up with the rest of your agenda and event theme. If it helps, he will also talk with a few of your leaders or attendees beforehand to gain as much insight as possible. 

Dr. Jones is a strong fit for leadership summits, annual conferences, executive retreats, sales kickoffs, and association meetings where the audience is made up of leaders and professionals who want to build greater brainpower and learn practical strategies they can apply immediately. He is not the right pick for a pure entertainment or after-dinner comedy slot, and he does not speak on political or religious topics.

Dr. Jones has spoken for Fortune 500 companies and national associations across technology, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, financial services, professional services, and sports. Clients include Microsoft, IBM, AT&T, American Airlines, Porsche, McKesson, Seagate Technology, Chick-fil-A, and the Dallas Cowboys among many others. 

Yes. Dr. Jones delivers virtual and hybrid keynotes and is a Certified Virtual Presenter through eSpeakers, meaning his camera setup, lighting, audio, and on-screen delivery have been independently reviewed. Virtual sessions are built for a screen rather than shrunk down from a stage talk. Tighter segments, more interaction, polling, and chat worked into the flow.

Yes. Many clients pair the keynote with a half-day leadership workshop, a breakout session, an executive roundtable, or a book signing. Dr. Jones also delivers longer leadership training programs and one-on-one executive coaching, so a keynote can be the front end of a broader development effort rather than a one-time event.

Dr. Jones travels from the Dallas - Fort Worth area and speaks across the United States and internationally. Most events are booked 3-6 months in advance, though shorter timelines are often possible depending on his calendar. Reach out as soon as you have a date. This will allow him to put a hold on a date costs nothing and protects your slot.

Every keynote includes ten free copies of one of Dr. Jones's books for your team, a 20% discount on bulk book orders for attendees, a customized resource webpage with reinforcement content your people can use after the event, and promotion of your event to his own audience on social media. It also includes the use of his proprietary ActionKeeper® system that tracks attendee commitments and provides follow-up coaching and accountability. 

Most keynotes run 45 to 60 minutes plus time for Q&A. A shorter 30-40 minute version works well for opening or closing a general session, and a 90-minute format leaves room for more interaction and exercises. Tell Dr. Jones what your agenda allows and he will build the session to fit it.

Call 214.810.4900 or use the contact form to inquire. We will have a short meeting to talk through your event, your audience, and your goals, followed by a written proposal and agreement. Once the date is confirmed, planning and customization begin well ahead of the event.
