Jason Thompson

Vistage Speaker | Storyteller | Founder | Consultant | TEC Canada Speaker

Jason Thompson is an artist, storyteller, and speaker who spent two decades as an animator, director and writer for studios like Disney, National Geographic Kids, and Electronic Arts. For the last decade he’s been making complex ideas impossible to ignore for the leaders who need to hear what he has to share. His work began with a sketchbook and a conviction that the small moments are the ones that matter most. It grew into a 31-year career in film, TV, and video games, a book, a podcast and a sold-out solo show that has made grown men call their mothers on the way home. Jason believes choosing love is the most courageous thing any of us can do and he lives and leads with honesty, humour, and the kind of specificity that reminds people what they’re actually working for.

Jason’s Topics

In big LITTLE moments™, Jason gives leaders a specific, practical framework for finding and sharing the small, purposeful moments that build outsized trust, loyalty, and results. Through three proven story frameworks and a live creative process unlike anything you’ve seen, Jason shows you how to slow down strategically and speed up sustainably You’ll leave with tools you can use the next morning. And a story, and a culture, only you can build.

Dare to Love is an experience for high performers who are ready to ask a harder question: What does it cost to keep leading the way I’ve always led? And what becomes possible when I stop? Jason makes the case that love isn’t the soft option. It’s the courageous one. Grounded in research, driven by personal story, and delivered with the kind of honesty that makes you laugh before it makes you think, Jason challenges your group to examine the script they’ve been handed and choose a better one. This is not therapy. This is not self-help. This is the experience your members didn’t know they needed and won’t stop talking about after.

This experience upends the traditional way of presenting and pitching and amplifies the power of storytelling, connection and persuasion. It’s more than a talk, it’s your toolkit to not just change how people listen, but to change what they do next. Because everyone needs to influence someone, even if they never stand behind a podium.
