About This Speaker

Jason Kotecki is a speaker, author, and artist who travels the world helping individuals and organizations to create Adultitis-free lives, with less stress and more fun, by embracing strategies from childhood. A leading expert on life balance and stress management, Jason was named the Rising Star of the National Speakers Association of Wisconsin. Jason is a prolific artist and author of four books, including “Escape Adulthood: 8 Secrets From Childhood for the Stressed-Out Grown-Up.” Funny, engaging, and inspiring, Jason delivers humorous and heart-warming programs that are packed with practical advice and pragmatic tips for turning stress into laughter and having more fun each and every day.

Many stress management and productivity speakers focus on treating symptoms. Jason’s approach is unique because he skillfully empowers his audiences to fundamentally shift their perspective and focus on the bigger picture. This helps foster real, permanent change. The truth is that most of our stress comes from the details of life. But when you have a broader understanding of and sense of control over the wider “Story” you are living, most stress melts away and the bigger challenges become more manageable.

When people walk away from Jason’s program, they have…

• more passion and optimism for their work.
• inspiration and ideas to have more fun while getting more done.
• a treasure trove of tools to melt away built-up stress and fatigue.
• a richer, more balanced life amidst the busyness.

Time and time again, people rank Jason as one of their favorite speakers they’ve ever heard, and often wish friends and family members had been there to hear his powerful message.

With the majority of people today being visual learners, Jason’s presentations say adios to boring, bad PowerPoint by using rich imagery that includes live cartooning as well as his own original artwork and photography. His masterful ability to combine powerful images, hilarious anecdotes, and uplifting stories makes Jason a perfect fit for a number of situations. He will happily customize the talk to the special needs of any audience.

Life balance is a top priority for Jason. With a young family, he only accepts a maximum of 52 invitations to speak each year. That being said, his schedule fills up fast, so don’t hesitate to contact us to learn more about bringing them to speak to your organization.
