The Purpose, Engagement & Performance Edge
SPARKED AT WORK
Work could be so much better, and organizations could win so much bigger: Stressed out, disconnected and unfulfilled, that’s the state of work today. Some 55% of workers are dissatisfied, 66% are not engaged, 33% feel like they’ve reached career dead-ends and the fastest-growing segment—young, purpose-seeking workers—are fleeing jobs devoid of personal significance. At the same time, organizations with highly-engaged teams grow earnings 4-times faster, are more productive, retain employees longer, and show 21% greater profitability.

The Good
Life:
A Simple Path to Your Best Life Now
The Good Life
A good life. It’s what we all want. What we devote so much of our waking hours to. Yet, so often, it feels like the good life is forever just ahead, around yet one more corner. Never to arrive. No matter how hard we work or how much we sacrifice, we find ourselves perpetually unfulfilled, disconnected and asking “is this all there is?”
What if you could feel differently? Not someday, but today. What if, pursued differently, living a truly good life was entirely possible—today? Turns out, it is. And, it’s not about big, disruptive changes, but rather discovering a simple yet powerful new model and taking tiny daily steps—steps that lead to exponential change.

We wanted this session to set the tone for the year, re-charging and inspiring our managers, and challenging them to work in new, creative ways – and you delivered and then some! Feedback from attendees has been incredibly positive, with comments not only about how valuable your advice was, but also that your tips seemed practical and actionable. Thank you for taking the time to understand our goals for this session and crafting a presentation that so perfectly achieved our desired results. We hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future.”– Ronald A. Redmon, Jr., Capital One

We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you again in the future.”– Jennifer Fisher, National Managing Director of Well-being, Deloitte
- “Jonathan came to Charlotte and filled the hearts and minds of our community with perspective-shifting, soul-searching wisdom and insights. The room teemed with hundreds of eager souls (you should have seen our wait list), all there to hear him speak. And each and every one of them went along for the exhilarating ride, because they knew they were in the hands of a master—someone who delivers deep value while being at once authentic, vulnerable, disarming, engaging, challenging, and damn hilarious. Let me put it this way…and I mean this literally: lives were changed that morning.”– Matt Olin, Host, CreativeMornings/Charlotte
- “If you are thinking of hiring Jonathan as a speaker, I have just two words for you. DO IT.Jonathan spoke at our FreedymFest event. And even though the multi-day event had almost 30 speakers, his session was, by far, given the highest rating. It wasn’t even close. In fact, 2 years later, I still get emails from attendees saying how Jonathan’s talk changed their lives. And it’s not just the “content”… it’s the WAY he delivers it. His passion. His humor. And his ability to speak with authority, and yet, with such humility is quite rare.”– Ryan Lee, FREEDYM
- “In six years of producing the World Domination Summit (WDS), Jonathan Fields is the only speaker to address our entire community twice.He first served as our closing keynote speaker during year one, and last year we were thrilled when he accepted an invitation to return as the opening keynote speaker. In other years he has also led Academies (half-day workshops) that quickly became the highest attended throughout the history of the event.Jonathan has a genuinely unique way of communicating with groups of people from a stage that make them feel as if they were talking one-on-one. If you get the chance to bring him to your event, don’t hesitate!”– Chris Guillebeau, Word Domination Summit
- “Jonathan was granted one of the four coveted speaking slots at the Invitational Consumer Health Summit, a private gathering attended by leading founders and personalities.

With hindsight of several years, Jonathan’s presentation has proved both memorable and prophetic.”– Michael Fishman, Consumer Health Summit
