For 10 years, organizations like yours have trusted Jonathan to provide a high-energy, high-content message on Motivation, Leadership, Communication, Change, and Sales.
Here’s why: he’s funny, his energy keeps audiences fully engaged, he has a gift for inspiring people to achieve at a higher level, and most importantly, his strategies work. Throughout his 10-year career as a motivational speaker, Jonathan has been consistently recognized as a leading authority in helping people and organizations like yours get their breakthrough.
“How to Have a Bigger Year”
As a top keynote and motivational speaker, Jonathan’s philosophy was developed over a decade of honing the strategies he has used to help people and has applied in his own businesses. Having faced many of the same personal, financial, and organizational challenges your audience has endured, Jonathan “gets it.” He knows what looks good on paper versus what really works in the real world. Because he has been there, he speaks to the intangibles that finally connect the dots between theory and implementation. He uses elements of his personal journey from failure and embarrassment to becoming a top-rated expert in his field to remind his audiences to aim high and reject excuses.
Jonathan Sprinkles’ message has made him a favorite at banquets, conventions, and training events. He has also received high praise across the board among the top organizations in Houston, Texas. Jonathan’s company, Sprinklisms, Inc was recently honored as the Houston Citizen’s Chamber of Commerce Pinnacle Award Winner for excellence in business. Jonathan was voted Houston Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” for being one of the top entrepreneurs in America’s fourth largest city.
He has also been voted National Speaker of the Year (APCA), Marketer of the Year (JMI), and Mentor of the Year (Disney/Eastman Kodak) –twice.
Jonathan’s passion for helping people perform at their best stems from the agony that he felt when he lost his father to cancer at the age of 15. Attempting to mask the pain, he gave into peer pressure and the low expectations that surround many African-American men. However, Jonathan’s spirit wouldn’t allow him to stay down. Refusing to settle for life’s second best, he graduated college from the fourth-ranked marketing program in the country. At graduation, he was awarded the two highest leadership designations given to any student out of an enrollment of over 53,000.
After college, Jonathan enjoyed a thriving career as a top salesman at Dell, Inc. Jonathan was hand-picked by senior management to join an elite group of Senior Account Managers who were responsible for acquiring new business in the fastest-growing segment of the company. Because of the leadership, customer service, and
team-building skills that he developed within a high-stakes sales environment, Jonathan was bestowed with the coveted title as the “Significant Achiever” among a pool of 400 of the corporation’s best sales reps.
Jonathan opted out of the fast-track in his corporate position to launch his own company and live his mission to inspire people to live bigger lives as a motivational speaker, which he has done for 10 years. His high-energy presentations on motivating yourself and others, connecting (communication/relationships), being a Change-Maker™ (leadership), and prospering under pressure (change) go against the grain of traditional thinking that is rooted in myths that sound good but don’t work in today’s marketplace.
Jonathan’s strategies are so effective, they have become favorites among corporations, government agencies, professional associations, universities, national media outlets and organizations at home in Houston, Texas.

“CONNECTION IS KEY!™”
How to motivate, persuade, and move people to action
{Communication}
Get what you want—when you need it most. Using his strategies that have been featured on TV, radio and in magazines, Jonathan teaches you how you can connect with anyone and persuade them immediately into action. He shows you how to thoroughly impress and win over an audience during your next presentation or one-on-one negotiation. If your career is dependent upon your ability to influence your coworkers, clients or customers, and you need results now, this information will change the way you approach every person on a daily basis.
How this presentation is different from others:
While most sessions on this topic focus on tactics rooted in coercion, bullying and manipulation, this presentation focuses on the #1 tool of persuasion—listening. Your coworker, client, or prospect is unconsciously sending you clues about how they can be persuaded, but you have to know what to look for.
You don’t have to be a people person. You don’t have to be forceful. You don’t have to memorize any complex scripts. By learning to ask the right sequence of questions, it is easy to know more about them than they would ever knowingly reveal to you. In short order, you can get the information you need to position the sale or request in a way that naturally produces a “yes” when others only hear “no.”
Your organization will learn:
- How to use the Laws of Influence to close more sales, lead with confidence, and present with power.
- The first thing you need to instantly boost your self-confidence so that people like you and listen to your ideas.
- Which dead-giveaway queues to look for when you need to know if someone is telling you the whole truth or if they have a hidden agenda.
- What colors to wear to influence people’s unconscious thinking—and the four colors that subconsciously melt away people’s resistance.
- The secret to winning over difficult or strong-willed people and creating relationships that are mutually beneficial and promote teamwork.
- The “Magic Moment” time to ask for — and get — the information, resources, and buy-in you need from your coworkers, clients, and prospects.
