Early in his career, Jamie worked behind the scenes with Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, observing how elite leaders mentor judgment when stakes are high and scripts don’t exist. That experience shaped his core message:
Leadership isn’t about having answers. It’s about mentoring people to think.
Jamie’s keynotes are known for being strategic, story-driven, and immediately actionable.
Audiences leave with language they use in boardrooms, frameworks leaders apply Monday morning, and a renewed understanding of how mentorship reduces burnout, strengthens succession, and builds cultures that outperform in uncertainty.
He is a frequent media commentator featured on CNN, Forbes, TED.com, and national broadcast outlets.
