“Every 2 years we organise a global meeting for some of our most experienced leaders, from over 25 countries. Finding a speaker who is genuinely relevant and thought provoking for an intelligent, sceptical and astute audience is therefore always a challenge. And this is where Dr Jason Fox came into play. As both our opening and closing keynote speaker and moderator, Jason successfully engaged our leaders.
He evoked new thinking, and drove a much richer level of conversation, honest reflection and strategic thinking, which truly resonated with this audience.
Having worked with a number of ‘speakers’ for similar events over the years, we found Jason to be a consummate professional. We placed immense trust in him to assist in delivering some differentiated messages and experiences for this event—he did this and more. Throughout the design, planning and preparation in the lead up to the event, to the intuitive support, shrewd thinking and adaptable 'can do' attitude he demonstrated throughout, Jason became a trusted advisor amongst the team. I warmly and enthusiastically recommend him.”

“It seems there are many people who now speak on Artificial Intelligence—but we wanted someone who could bring insight beyond the obvious. That’s why we hired Dr. Jason Fox.
Jason brought the lens of complexity science to the emerging field of AI, helping our audience to think deeper (and further) about the confluence of intersecting trends accelerated by this new technology. With much-needed scepticism, humour and warmth, Dr. Fox encouraged our audience to ‘keep their wits’ about them and ‘become connoisseurs of quality thinking’ as we attempt to find meaningful progress in this exponential age. Many have said that this was the most impactful session from the whole event.”

“Earlier this year the Environment & Resources business at Arup planned to hold a business planning retreat (or offsite) to set the strategy for the next three years. And then Covid-19 hit and we were compelled to look at how we might do this in a virtual environment.
We immediately appreciated that driving blue sky thinking, via an interactive session, involving multiple participants (160 staff) in multiple locations (across Australasia) in an online environment, was ambitious and would require careful planning. We needed help, and so we engaged Dr Jason Fox to serve as, what he described, ‘a wizard advisor & facilitator-host’ to help us conceptualise, plan and run the event, ensuring that event remained engaging and on point.
From the start I loved working with Jason: he was engaged and thoroughly collaborative, seeking to understand our vision and desires and then helping us to frame an event that was structured and robust, whilst flexibility enough to pivot as the conversations unfolded. He brought adventure, intrigue, innovation, whimsy, energy and clarity.
As I write those words, I appreciate they are odd descriptors, but an online event requires something unique to maintain the energy and engagement and Jason absolutely nailed it.
The event was a massive success, exceeding all our expectations. Attendees appreciated the intimate and honest discussion we were able to facilitate through the breakouts, the new connections they established across our Australasian business, the courageous conversations, the deep collaboration and investment from our leadership and the strong vision for the future the event engendered. All of which was made possible by the careful stewardship and facilitation of Jason.
I have revelled in this experience and we will certainly be working with Jason in the future.”

“I have admired Jason’s work for many years now. He is immensely intelligent and yet maintains a warm and humble curiosity that is infectious—and very appropriate for these complex times. We booked Jason to open our Annual Conference on Leadership & Leadership Development—one of the most important events we run each year.
Jason’s style is distinct, engaging, entertaining and wickedly irreverent to convention.
What I really appreciated was just how ‘in service’ Jason was to the overall event. He had our audience conversing at depth within his session; and this helped set the tone of authentic and courageous exploration throughout the event.
His sessions were voted amongst the best we have had over our nine year period of hosting these events.
I am beyond elated to have had Jason contribute to our event, and I heartily recommend him to any event organiser that values curiosity over conviction.”

The Leadership Circle

“Every two years, we gather the most important people in the global travel, tourism and hospitality industry together at The World Tourism Forum in Lucerne. Our speakers and participants include Prime Ministers, Heads of Tourism, leaders of NFPs, CEOs of large enterprises, and the directors of new and impactful startups. This is a vitally important event and with such a discerning audience, it is essential we work with only the highest quality speakers.
Dr Jason Fox would have to be one of the best speakers we’ve ever worked with.
He played a key role throughout the event. As our opening keynote speaker, he was able to set the tone for the whole event—moving our audience into an open state of curiosity. His message was completely congruent to our theme—‘staying relevant in uncertain times’. With such a diverse audience (we had representation from over 75 countries), we wanted to maximise the opportunities for rich and deeply relevant conversations and connection. And so we had Jason facilitate a large and interactive ‘world cafe’ session. This was immensely successful, and a highlight for many who attended the event.
Jason also delivered a closing keynote experience that enabled our participants to translate their intention into meaningful progress. Throughout the whole experience—from helping to set the theme of the event, through to the flow of the run sheet—Jason and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with.”

Professor Martin Barth // President & CEO
The World Tourism Forum Lucerne

“Every two years our whole research division meets together for a very important strategic planning day. Over the years, you experience a heap of facilitators, and you get used to the standard thing. But this year, we engaged Dr Jason Fox, and what he provided was very different—something fresh, relevant, practical and compelling. If you're looking to develop and progress new and important strategy, I highly recommend Dr Jason Fox.”

Professor Nicholas Fisk // VP & Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Research
The University of New South Wales

“Wow. What can I say? Jason Fox. Given the immense pace of change we face as a business in the world today, I wanted a senior leadership forum that would challenge complacent, hum-drum, default thinking. I wanted us to venture beyond the default—and Jason Fox leading our quest worked a treat.
Jason is thoughtful, challenging, motivating, funny, always entertaining, and incredibly insightful.
He seemed to ‘get’ Arup quickly and won the crowd over within minutes. He was just what we were looking for. Jason has the ability to just knock you over with undeniable home truths; incredibly, right there in the moment, and with a laugh. Not just in a challenging keynote, but by linking together new learning across all sessions. His impact in the room was tangible, and any default thinking that emerged was quickly exposed!
The feedback on Jason was overwhelmingly positive and I felt strongly that we had moved our senior leadership forward a long way at our best forum ever. Thanks Jason!”

Peter Bailey // CEO & Chair

“At Prestel & Partner we host exclusive events for Principals and Family Offices that have at least £150 million in assets. It is therefore essential that we have speakers of the highest integrity, calibre and character. People of proven reputation, and who do not feel the need to ‘pitch’ to the audience. Dr Jason Fox is a shining example.
He came enthusiastically recommended to us by one of our audience, and we gave him the task of opening our event in London. His opening keynote was original, practical, humorous, relevant and deeply insightful. And most importantly, Jason was able to 'humanise' the conversation. People lowered their guards, and embraced the opportunities to connect and engage in authentic conversation.
As an event organiser, I've seen a lot of keynote speakers—Dr Fox is the absolute best.
We are so grateful for the chance to work with him, and we look forward to future opportunities.”

Tobias Prestel // Managing Director
Prestel & Partner

“We engaged Dr Jason Fox to speak at our country-wide roadshow event, which lead to an unprecedented amount of positive reception. The demand was so high that every city sold out, and we had to find larger venues to fit hundreds of participants. Such a good problem to have!
Jason offers a genuinely fresh, relevant and [meta]modern perspective to motivation and leadership. His understanding and empathy for leaders looking to change culture and drive innovation within organisations is unmatched.
It has been a privilege to share the success of this event with Jason and to bask in the glowing feedback coming from our audiences across all of Australia. And it doesn't end there—Jason and his team are a total joy to work with. We are incredibly happy!”

Dana Grgas // Director of Development & Research

“We do a lot of presentations in corporate land, 95% of them tend to be exactly what a person with no exposure into the world of banking would expect that a topic presentation in a bank would go like. Powerpoints, graphs, safe, expected, informative, but often as soon as they’re done, they’re forgotten. And then there’s that 5% that break through and leave a lasting impression. This was one of those.
Jason’s talk was like an idea grenade. Thrown into a room of people who had no idea of the event they were in for. He has a brilliant way of holding up a mirror to the room and making everyone reflect on what truly matters. Funny, entertaining and the perfect amount of inspiring everyone to think ‘Oh man, I wish we could think and speak like this all of the time’.
Absolutely loved the session and the feedback from colleagues was overwhelmingly positive. If your team/workplace sorely needs a shot of creative adrenaline, then this is the talk for you. You’ll be so glad you did.”

Daylan Pearce // Digital Strategy & Transformation
National Australia Bank

“Jason was an excellent and engaging speaker, an inspiring keynote for our Small Business Festival launch event. As it was the first event for a month long program, his delivery and content needed to be impressive to ensure that attendees felt enthused to register for future events—and they were. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and registrations for other events jumped.
For this event we wanted an engaging, thought-provoking speaker, someone who would bring different and new concepts and challenge old ways of thinking—but in a positive and constructive way. Jason did this for us. But more than that he really listened to our brief and tailored his content to suit our audience. His delivery was both conversational and informative, warm and heartfelt with facts, insights and moments of humour.
I first heard Jason speak around 10 years ago at a tourism industry event and have followed his museletters ever since. If anything, his ability to weave a story, include examples and cite references throughout his talk has become even more impressive. He ensured that the audience was an active participant in the event and tailored his content to suit our local context. The feedback from audience was excellent. We would highly recommend him.”

Katherine Cooper // Team Lead

“Inspiring, challenging and stimulating a group of seasoned Management Consultants can be a tough ask. Dr Fox, however, exceeded all expectations.
Dr Fox delivered wonderfully motivating leadership wisdom in such an entertaining and insightful way.
Being a bit nerdy myself around the psychology of leadership, I loved that he was able to share—with such a diverse audience—philosophical and psychological concepts in a manner that was very accessible and practical.
He provided a great platform for the remainder of our leadership retreat and I have since been able to pivot from many of the ideas you shared to help us rethink and reimagine what we can do. Just a joy to work with him. Looking forward to doing more together.”

Galia Cornish // CEO
Synergy

“Once every 2 years we run a very important event that brings together our most senior leaders from 23 different countries. These guys are all very switched on, and have seen a lot of the conventional ‘change leadership’ stuff before—but Jason provided something that was incredibly fresh, clever and practical. This provoked new thinking, and stimulated very constructive discussions amongst our leaders. Jason contributed greatly to the success of our event.”

Steve Wilson // Director of Talent
Pepsico

“Hi Jason, just a quick note to say thank you again for your fantastic presentation on Friday. The audience adored you and I have had nothing but fabulous feedback from all that attended.
The comments I have received are all so positive and the whole day just went so well thanks to you. I really couldn’t have been happier!! Thank you also for your calming words and advice leading up to the event—you are truly amazing! I hope our paths cross again in the future, it was truly a pleasure working with you.”

Dr Gabby Walters // Senior Lecturer
The University of Queensland Business School

“We had Jason speak at our 925festival in Helsinki—an event designed to empower Finland business leaders to think bravely and work smarter.
The Finnish audience is very discerning, and we’ve worked with some of the best thought leaders from around the world—and I can honestly say Jason is world-class.
He provided insight that was fresh, bold and very pragmatic. The audience loved his wit, passion and highly original style, including hand-drawn slides. As a bonus, he was a pleasure to work with.”

Saku Tuominen // Creative Director & Founder
Idealist Group

“We really appreciated the way you artfully and craftily guided us through our quest in early December—your pitch was en pointe and you created a safe and open space for thoughts and issues to be shared while also allowing creativity to blossom and aspirations to flourish. I would thoroughly recommend you to other groups who are seeking to find their common purpose, build their team culture and explore innovative concepts together outside of traditional siloes and boundaries.”

Professor Susan Morton // Director of The Research Institute for Innovative Solutions for Well-being and Health
University of Technology Sydney

“We loved working with Jason. He took the time to understand our strategy and context, and tailored his delivery to match. In half a day—and with 120 of our most senior leaders—Jason delivered an insightful masterclass that was timely, relevant and deeply engaging.
Jason’s diverse experience and refreshing perspective evoked rich and meaningful conversations amongst our people, and continues to be talked about and referenced to in the business.
Importantly, Jason brought a pragmatic focus—and as a result, we concluded our event more than just inspired. We had our sleeves rolled up, ready to lean into new behaviours to lead meaningful progress and change.”

Lizzy Geremia // Head of Internal Communications
BUPA

“Within our Business School we hold an annual teaching and learning event for our academic and professional staff. In organising the event I wanted a keynote speaker who was a bit out of the ordinary from the usual ‘academic’ speakers we normally have. I had previously seen Jason present and he made a big impression on me so I knew he would be perfect for this event.
Jason was one of the best speakers I have ever seen and the attendees at our event certainly felt the same. I have never seen someone hold the attention of an audience so well. His presentation was funny, informative, thought provoking, and highly engaging.
Even though as academics we present all of the time, many of us were amazed with his presentation style—absolutely fantastic! Jason and his team were a pleasure to deal with in the lead up to the event and the briefing discussion before the event with Jason made sure that we were on the same page about what we needed. Without question I would recommend Jason to anyone looking for a highly engaging and dynamic speaker. I hope I get to hear him speak again soon.”

Dr Lisa Ruhanen // Associate Professor
The University of Queensland Business School

“We worked with Jason for our Regional Leadership Conference covering key leaders across Asia Pacific and South America with a brief to inspire our leaders to deliver. We were looking for a speaker and collaborator who could not only inspire the team to think beyond the ‘norms’ of leadership motivational theories, but someone to provide real, usable tools. Jason definitely delivered on this and more. His engaging style saw all of our leaders put pen to paper as they captured his ideas and insights. As we continue to develop our leaders across Beam Suntory, we will certainly look for Jason’s input and continue to work with him where we can.”

Evelyn Jackson // VP of Global Development, Engagement & Culture Beam Suntory

“We first engaged Jason to facilitate an important strategic offsite with our senior leadership team. The opportunity for such offsites is rare, and the time senior leaders have together at such offsites is very precious. It was essential we engaged someone who could not only cover the agenda, but also provide space to explore new possibilities. Jason did this and more. He immediately built rapport with the team, and was able to challenge us to think beyond our defaults.
The result was a strategy that was refreshing, courageous and differentiated, and a leadership team that was inspired to make it happen. We couldn’t have predicated this, but Jason’s unique approach allowed it to happen.
We have since then engaged Jason to help us build momentum with our people. He delivered a keynote to our business in support of the strategy, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. We loved that he was able to tailor it serve the strategy.
Then, recently, we engaged Jason again to facilitate further strategic development. And it just gets better and better! We look forward to such experiences, and will be working with Jason again in the near future.”

Alli Smith // Executive General Manager
Suncorp

“After admiring Jason’s work for some time, we had the opportunity to work with him on our inaugural Purpose event. Jason was a highlight of the program for us and our attendees. He brought so much enthusiasm and creativity to the project and gave so much thought to the audience’s energy, the cognitive flow of the event and how he could help us to provide the best possible experience for them.
Jason and his stellar team are a pleasure to work with and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. Turns out I don’t really need to as numerous audience members have already reached out to me to enquire about booking Jason for their next important event.”

Sally Hill // Founder
Wildwon Projects

“Jason was the perfect guide for our leadership—entertaining, intelligent and deeply thought-provoking. After just one day invested with Jason, we decided on new and innovative ways to take our leadership development to the next level. Jason’s involvement allowed us to make great progress in this new area of investment, and it really motivated people to get excited about the possibilities and future of the industry. I recommend Dr Jason Fox if you are looking to progress great thinking and pave the way for real innovation.”

Brad Fox // Manager of Brand Strategy
Singtel Optus

“Jason Fox has a unique and thought provoking approach to strategic and cultural change. He challenged us to think differently and was invaluable in assisting us to communicate change in a way that was engaging for our whole business—including franchisees, executives, and most importantly the managers and crew in our restaurants.”

Andrew Gregory // CEO
McDonald’s Australia

“Jason recently facilitated a workshop for me and my team. I set pretty high expectations of facilitators and Jason absolutely delivered the goods. His style is a perfect balance of unassuming and disarming. He really challenged us to think and reset our priorities in a meaningful way.
The proof is in the pudding—a month down the track and the ‘rituals’ we committed to are still confidently on track. That is the winner—if the outcomes continue long after the day itself then you know it is a great investment.”

Jenefer Stewart // General Manager of Business Banking
ANZ Bank

“We had the pleasure of having Jason address a conference of our senior leaders earlier this year. He came with strong recommendations from people who had seen him speak previously, and certainly didn’t disappoint.
The engagement in the lead up to the session was great, Jason was genuinely interested in our team, what they were feeling and what was appropriate for the day. His experience and areas of expertise (meaningful progress, autonomous teams) were PERFECT for our team and I walked in to the day with high expectations. And Jason managed to exceed these expectations! He was funny, engaging, but also really thought provoking. The team loved it and the time raced by. Perhaps the ultimate measure of success: 2 months on and I once again quoted Jason today to a colleague!
Thanks Jason - your insights really stuck with me and the team enjoyed your keynote immensely!”

Andy Hitchen // Divisional General Manager
Medibank

“The feedback about the Annual Forum was excellent and I have lost count of the people that specifically commented about your session. Thanks for finishing the day so well. I found your approach and content extremely refreshing.”

Rich Hirst // Director
The CEO Forum, Gartner

“During the past 25+ years in the IT Industry, I’ve attended all manner of conferences and events. Typically, the keynote speakers have shed little insight into ways to really grasp and drive organisational alignment and change. In a brief but insightful 45 minute presentation at the recent conference on the Gold Coast. Jason challenged the audience to understand the ‘why’ we do what we do rather than focussing on the ‘what’ we deliver. I’m hooked !! Thanks again Jason—world class work.”

Carlo Calleri // Director of Sales
Duxe Software Systems

“Jason is an original and thought-provoking speaker. His ability to challenge thinking across an organisation and provide insight into motivation and behaviour change is of great value to us as human beings. His style is authentic and engaging, even when presenting virtually as he did for us today.”

Nicole Photiou //Senior Advisor
Level Crossing Removal Project

“Dr Jason Fox was the closing keynote speaker for day one of our annual conference. We wanted someone that would bring a different energy to the room (we have some reasonably heavy, serious content) and he certainly did that.
His unique presentation style and content got our audience thinking and I can’t recommend his session on ‘How to lead a quest’ more highly. We had excellent feedback from our guests too. If you’re considering using Dr Fox for your next event, book him now.”
