Jason Todd

Reconnect. Refocus. Perform.

Book Jason Todd for your event and expect something refreshingly different from a conventional wellbeing keynote. Jason is an entrepreneur-turned-speaker who helps individuals and teams cut through the noise, question familiar assumptions about success and reconnect with what genuinely helps them think, feel and perform better.

His approach is grounded in experience rather than theory overload. Jason has lived the pursuit of success from the inside. He chased it, built it, sold it and eventually discovered that many of the things we are encouraged to strive for do not necessarily create the happiness, fulfilment or wellbeing we expect.

That hard-earned realisation now sits at the heart of his keynotes. Where many approaches encourage people to add another habit, goal or technique, Jason strips things back. His message is simple: the best version of yourself is not necessarily something new that needs to be discovered. Sometimes, it is already there, buried beneath pressure, expectations and the distractions of modern life.

From coal delivery to £20m flotation

Jason Todd’s story is a genuine rags-to-riches journey. As a young man, he delivered coal. His career would eventually take him into international recruitment and all the way to being featured in the Financial Times after floating a company on the Alternative Investment Market for more than £20 million.

By most conventional measures, Jason had achieved success. Yet somewhere between the status, achievements and shiny things came an important question: can you really buy happiness?

Jason thought you could, so he tried. More than once.

His experiences eventually led him to a different understanding of success and lasting wellbeing. What he learned through building businesses, pursuing ambitious goals and experiencing the realities that accompany achievement became the foundation for the ideas he now shares with audiences.

This personal journey gives Jason credibility without the need for preaching. He understands ambition and the desire to achieve because he has experienced them himself. He also understands what happens when external measures of success begin to distract us from the things that actually make a difference.

Understanding what makes people tick

Alongside his entrepreneurial journey, Jason brings more than 25 years of experience in international recruitment. He has spent decades observing and understanding people: what motivates us, what influences our behaviour and what sits behind the things we do, think and say.

That experience gives him a practical perspective on performance under pressure. Rather than presenting audiences with jargon or an overload of theory, Jason explores the human realities behind motivation, happiness, success and wellbeing.

His sessions challenge assumptions and invite audiences to look at their own behaviour from a different angle. He creates space for people to consider what they are chasing, why they are chasing it and whether it is actually helping them perform and live in the way they want.

Audiences leave with:

• Practical tools they can start using immediately rather than saving for “one day”
• A powerful reset around success, happiness and performance
• Renewed energy, clarity and perspective
• Permission to stop chasing what does not work and focus on what does
• An experience designed to be as entertaining as it is impactful

The aim is not to give people more things to squeeze into already busy lives. It is to help them remove some of the noise and get out of their own way.

Keynotes that change behaviour

Since 2018, Jason Todd has taken these ideas to stages across Europe, helping individuals and teams reconnect with what actually works. His sessions blend humour, honesty and high-impact insight, creating an atmosphere where audiences can laugh while also confronting some uncomfortable truths.

Jason is a firm believer in “fun theory”. His keynotes are light-hearted without being lightweight. Energy, warmth and authenticity make the ideas accessible, while his personal and professional experiences give them substance.

This balance matters. Jason does not want audiences simply to enjoy themselves for an hour and then return to business as usual. His goal is to create the kind of insight that sticks: ideas people remember, discuss and put into practice after the event.

That means questioning some deeply embedded ideas about motivation and achievement. It means exploring whether constantly chasing the next milestone really improves performance. And it means helping people understand that feeling and performing better can sometimes begin by stripping away rather than adding more.

Book Jason Todd for your event

Jason Todd is a compelling choice for organisations looking for a speaker who can connect wellbeing with the realities of ambition, pressure and performance. His combination of entrepreneurial experience, more than 25 years in international recruitment and a personal journey through the highs and misconceptions of conventional success gives him an unusual perspective on human behaviour.

Book speaker Jason Todd when you want your audience to receive more than a temporary burst of inspiration. His practical approach is designed to create a genuine shift in perspective and give people ideas they can apply straight away.

At the centre of Jason’s work is a powerful thought: the best version of you does not need to be invented or found somewhere in the future. It is something you can return to.

By helping audiences stop chasing, reconnect with what matters and focus on what genuinely works, Jason creates keynotes that can lead to better thinking, better feelings and better performance.

Expect energy. Expect laughter. Expect uncomfortable truths. Most importantly, expect practical ideas that stay with your audience long after Jason Todd has left the stage.
