A uniquely versatile speaker, Dawkins excels at both informational and motivational speaking.

About

In a culture where many speakers are more concerned with selling stories than telling stories, Jack Dawkins is a bonafide storyteller who loves to use words, and uses words to love. Originally from New York City, the Denver-based public speaker, performer, and father has always used his gift for language to motivate, inspire, and lead audiences of all kinds, from captaining college athletics and running a restaurant concept to overseeing guided meditations and writing his own one-man shows. A uniquely versatile speaker, Dawkins excels at both informational and motivational speaking. On the informational side, he has given talks on entrepreneurship, business savvy, and creating customer experiences for institutions like Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, Fortune 500 companies, and TEDx. But he also is in his element during more intimate and creative forums focused on personal narrative, growth, and self-improvement, like his recent workshop for Denver’s 2024 Fringe Festival. Fluent in “corporate speak” and equally well-versed in the deceptively tricky art of storytelling, Dawkins is at his absolute best on stage, whatever that stage may be.

As a speaker, Dawkins’s number one priority is to be of service to his audience. His role is not to dispense easy answers, but to empower the audience to ask themselves the right questions, using his own knowledge and experience as tools. Always showing up with an open mind and open heart, Dawkins is known for incorporating impromptu feedback throughout his talks, creating more of a collaborative process between speaker and listeners. Rather than reciting a one-size-fits-all script, he tailors his insights to the unique needs of each individual group. Dawkins is able to intuit shifts in his audiences’ mood or energy, and years of performing on stages and in other high-pressure environments have given him the resilience to pivot or change approach when needed–without ever losing steam.

Dawkins has a deep appreciation for the intrinsic power of words, and harnesses that power in service of his life’s mission: to help people feel less alone. He has an extraordinary ability to foster connections, bridge gaps, and instill a sense of community in anyone in his orbit. Whether you are one of five people in a workshop, or five hundred people in a conference hall, he promises that you will feel seen, heard, and understood. It’s obvious to anyone who has witnessed the pure joy, magnetism, and exuberance radiating off of Dawkins while he addresses a room that the stage is where he belongs. His resume, background, and dedication make him a natural public speaker, but more importantly, he is driven by a rare passion for his craft. For Dawkins, any chance to speak in front of a crowd is an opportunity to learn, create, and improve, not just for his audience, but also for himself.

Jack Dawkins is seeking opportunities for keynotes, workshops, or workshop series, particularly ongoing engagements that allow him to work with a group of people over time. For more information or for booking inquiries, please contact his manager Christian Hundley at (email hidden)
