"Hustle is an act of focus, not frenzy" was just one of the messages Jon left the EMC Finance leadership with this week. Jon spoke directly into the challenges our managers are facing at a time when we need it the most. His energy, encouragement, and insight was the perfect way to wrap a week on inspired leadership.

In the middle of a challenging season, Jon did a virtual event for our team that provided encouragement, clarity and actionable next steps we could all take. I told him after, 'I never looked at you once during your presentation because I was so engaged taking notes from the content.'

We asked Jon Acuff to talk directly to our team to supply them with the tools to overcome these mental obstacles in our new virtual world. The call was incredible. In my team debrief a week after our call with Jon, it was astounding to hear all the different tips, techniques, and tools that resonated with each individual in an hour-long call, equipped with Q&A with Jon. We are so grateful for his time and for his ability to truly listen to the needs of the team in the pre-prep meeting. He's so personable, approachable, and smart. He speaks to people in a way that is real and resonates. This was an exceptional opportunity for me and my team.

Thrivent has booked Jon to speak for years so we were confident that he'd knock it out of the park even on a virtual event. From pre-meeting prep to having a dedicated studio for a high quality experience to interactive engagement with our viewers, every detail was flawless. If you have a team you want to encourage, a customer group you want to inspire or work force you want to support with a hilarious, helpful message, book Jon for a digital event!

'Pivot, Don't Panic' was the perfect topic for what we're going through right now. It was informative, inspiring and a whole lot of fun. You can also tell Jon has spent years on camera because he brought the same energy, enthusiasm and presence to the virtual event as he would a live event. I received numerous messages from advisors, managing directors and members that appreciated his keynote. If you have a virtual event on your calendar, make sure you add Jon Acuff to the lineup!

Jon Acuff was brilliant and engaging. Our employees absolutely loved the talk. We didn't have any negative feedback and in our survey actually 100% of employees agreed it was value use of their time which was more than any speaker we had that week.

Jon spoke to a group of players working to build their professional skills and identify areas of interest outside of football. The principles Jon focused on were relevant, motivational, and enlightening for the group. Jon is also very relatable in his content and delivery and approachable while engaging in follow up questions and conversations. Ultimately, he helped set the stage for the players to succeed in their off-season pursuits.

I was inspired by Jon's talk and invited him to speak to my class of seniors at Vanderbilt. Three students have already written me to say how relevant and applicable Jon's comments and advice were as they think about graduating and marketing themselves.

Whirlpool Corporation strives to bring excellent development opportunities to our members. We found all of Jon's content to be relevant and insightful, often incorporating examples and references specific to our group.

The human desire for a greater purpose and to chase one's dream is often a heavy subject, but Jon Acuff inspires audiences and shares achieving your dream as not a chasing of the wind, but as an attainable goal for anyone willing to put forth the effort.

We have heard nothing but positive feedback from our students . . . they really responded well to him! fit perfectly into the current "Vocational Emergence" theme we are emphasizing in our co-curricular programming.

Our company kick-off was forced into a virtual setting due to the pandemic but that didn't take away from the impact that Jon was able to bring to our team of 500+ employees. His setup was professional and his delivery still packed a punch, expertly weaving in our core company goals and strategies that were top of mind for our organization. Hiring him definitely elevated our event.

Like many companies in 2020/2021, we had to change our annual sales meeting to a virtual format with over 1200 attendees. Jon was very gracious with his time and did several prep calls with our team to customize his message to resonate with our sellers. His message was simple, impactful and fun and we had very positive feedback from our teams across North America.

Jon, we told our team that you were going to hit a homerun and you delivered (Babe Ruth style). Thank you for asking us great questions and taking our insight and making it practical, personal, and fun for our leaders. The energy in the room is buzzing as our team talks through the questions you inspired us with. We can't say thank you enough. Great job!
