I have participated in a lot of workshops, but Teamwork of Art is absolutely the best! The activity, the concepts taught, and the excitement driven into each one of my team members was astounding!
Nathan Jamail is a record-setting performer, CEO, Adjunct Professor in the MBA program at SMU’s Cox School of Business—where he has earned over 18 Teacher Excellence Awards - and bestselling author of multiple leadership and sales books- though he’ll tell you he’s not a writer—he’s a business leader who writes for leaders.
During his tenure as an Executive Director at a Fortune 100 company, Nathan built and led seven #1 producing teams across five states and Puerto Rico. He has also built, scaled, and sold multiple small businesses. That real-world performance—at both the corporate and entrepreneurial level—drives everything he teaches today.
For more than two decades, Nathan has coached and developed leaders on three continents and thousands worldwide. His coaching principles have become the leadership backbone for hundreds of organizations across manufacturing, finance, technology, communications, hospitality, and beyond.
In a business climate shaped by AI acceleration, economic uncertainty, and constant disruption, Nathan brings clarity and execution. He teaches leaders how to leverage technology without losing their edge, build accountability without sacrificing culture, and create teams that win because of discipline, ownership, and trust.
AI can automate. It can analyze. It can accelerate.
But it cannot replace real leadership.
Nathan shows organizations how to amplify human ingenuity —building connection, resilience, and IMPACT that technology simply cannot replicate.
It’s not the market that determines whether your organization succeeds. It’s the mindset and practices of your leaders and teams.
The organizations that outperform the competition aren’t more talented. They’re more disciplined, more practiced, and more aligned. They refuse to set “realistic” goals that shortchange their people and their potential. They don’t just see winning as an outcome—they see it as a mindset, one that shifts what they expect and what excuses they’re willing to accept.
In this culture-changing keynote, Nathan shows leaders how to foster a mindset where winning becomes expected and coaches their employees to higher levels of commitment, discipline, and performance. Leaders leave prepared to choose logical over realistic goals and equipped to build teams that believe in what they do, commit to the process, and practice the behaviors that drive exceptional results.
Today’s workforce desperately needs leaders who know how to set expectations and hold their team accountable. That’s where Nathan comes in.
Accountability is crucial to an organization’s success, yet many leaders struggle to maintain a high standard. They hesitate to challenge underperformance, tolerate excuses, and leave their teams floundering—unsure what’s expected and how to perform at their best.
In this keynote, Nathan shows leaders why accountability creates ownership, making it one of the most important things they can do for their people. Leaders learn how to hold others accountable without damaging relationships, create clear expectations, reinforce standards, and build a framework for elevating performance without fear or confusion.
Every client interaction matters. So how do you make sure each sales conversation connects with your client? Practice.
Selling isn’t an innate ability—it’s a skill that needs to be developed. Yet many sales professionals and teams spend most of their time on process and product knowledge, with little time spent practicing the skills that actually drive performance.
In this high-impact, interactive keynote, Nathan challenges audiences to treat sales like the performance activity it is, even when it feels awkward. Through practical tools and real-time scrimmaging, teams learn how to elevate their skills, build confidence, and prepare for the small moments that determine the big outcomes.
Trust is a competitive advantage. But leaders can’t demand trust or assume it will happen—they have to earn it. And that starts with clarity.
As expectations rise and information moves faster, leaders need their employees to trust them more than ever. Yet too often, leaders avoid difficult conversations, soften expectations, or allow unclear communication to create fear and confusion.
In this keynote, Nathan challenges leaders to stop confusing trust with silence and start creating clarity through proactive communication, courageous conversations, and clear expectations. Leaders learn practical tools for addressing difficult conversations, removing fear from engagement, and building a culture where trust strengthens performance.
Shows leaders in the middle just how powerful they are without pretending that leading employees and reporting to bosses don't require different skills. It fills the gap between the books those leaders read and the information they actually need and answers the big questions that constantly confound leaders and their companies:
The answer: Leaders in the middle too often serve down to their people and defend up to their bosses, instead of serving up to their bosses and coaching down to their employees.
This is why so many companies struggle to innovate and get stuck--leaving everyone frustrated and looking for answers. Serve Up, Coach Down changes all that. Great leaders don't feed their people fish; they coach them on how to fish for themselves and then beat the competition by catching more fish. Those people in return serve their leaders and the people those leaders report to by delivering maximum performance for the organization. Achieving that performance, however, requires leaders in the middle to focus, have confidence, and commit to changing their mindsets.
