Experience Jeff In Action
Change is Inevitable—Growth Isn’t
Jeff Has The Three Steps Needed To Transform Your Team From Uncertain to Unstoppable
Activate Your Purpose is more than a rallying cry—it’s a reset button for your team's drive and direction. In this high-impact experience, your people get energized with fresh possibility, engaged with a shared mission, and enabled to take bold, purpose-driven action. When purpose is activated, performance follows—and your team doesn’t just work harder, they care more, collaborate better, and lead stronger.
Innovate Your Process gives your team the mindset and method to meet change with creativity—not resistance. In this dynamic experience, your team will ideate bold new possibilities, iterate quickly with confidence, and integrate real improvements that stick. It’s not about change for change’s sake—it’s about designing smarter, faster, more human-centered solutions that move your business, and your people, forward.
Motivate Your Team connects head, heart, and hustle. It starts with a clear message that cuts through the noise, anchored in meaning—so every team member knows why their work matters. All together, they start to build momentum that turns intention into action, so every team member knows why their work matters. When people feel seen, inspired, and aligned, they don’t just show up—they show up ready.

Jeff Rogers doesn’t just light up a room—he rewires how people think in it. Born with a speech impediment, he went from tongue-tied to mic’d up, learning early that if you didn’t speak up in a family of 11, you didn’t get fed—or heard, he developed a rare blend of heart, humor, and high-performance thinking.
Today, Jeff is a nationally recognized speaker, emcee, and storyteller who’s worked with everyone from McDonald’s to Microsoft, from Major League Baseball to Merck. Meeting planners call him a “secret weapon.” Clients like Red Hat, Schneider Electric, and GM say he’s the best speaker they’ve seen in years—because he doesn’t just “present,” he galvanizes. Jeff guides sales leaders, C-suite teams, and innovators through the messy middle of change, unlocking what’s next with contagious curiosity, fast-footed humor, and story-driven strategy.
Certified in innovation and design thinking by Harvard, MIT, and Stanford, Jeff doesn’t chase the “next big thing”—he helps teams reimagine what they already have and turn it into something better, bolder, and brilliantly useful. If you’ve ever laughed until you had an idea, that’s Jeff at work.
He’s run with the bulls, opened for Jay Leno, impersonated a U.S. President on CNN, won the National Speakers Association’s Last Story Standing title over 275 competitors, received over 50 Creative Arts Awards, and paraglided off a mountain for a client. (No joke.)
But he’s just as driven by causes like Special Olympics and Autism Now as he is by standing ovations.
Based in Chicago (but booked worldwide), Jeff helps organizations ignite ideas, energize teams, and equip people to step boldly into their own brilliance.
His promise? To turn your people’s potential into performance—one story, one laugh, one spark at a time.
