"Young people need more role models in their own generation. It is one thing for seasoned veterans from one,
two, or three generations ago to try and influence high school kids. It is quite another for someone who
recently navigated the tough teen years himself to provide a personal, human example of success. Drawing
on impressive achievements in academics and athletics as well as his own personal disappointments and challenges,
Jordan, one of the gifted presenters of his generation, provides students with a unique opportunity to discover the
magnitude of their own potential."
Co-founder of Franklin Covey Company; Author of What Matters Most and The 10 Natural Laws of Effective Time and Life Management
"Jordan presents a thoughtful and engaging approach to teaching youth how to tap into their leadership potential. His presentation is not only well-organized, but it makes perfect sense and is immediately applicable."
- Sharlene Wells HawkesExecutive Vice-President Storyrock, Former Miss America (1985), and Mother of a junior high student
"Jordan is a gifted presenter to a teen audience. His message is compelling and relevant to a wide range of people, but is especially valuable to secondary students."
- Jack ZengerInternational Leadership Authority, CEO Zenger/Folkman, Co-Author of The Extraordinary Leader
"One of Jordan's biggest strengths with the "I Am Sovereign" seminar is his age. Not being far removed from the kids themselves, he brings a freshness and youthful enthusiasm that builds instant rapport with the kids--making them more apt to listen--almost as if they were hearing the message from one of their peers. Yet, in spite of his age, he also demonstrates the talent and quality of a professional presenter much older than himself--a rare and valuable combination."
- Charles CozzensAssistant Professor of management and organizational communication: Utah Valley State College
"Jordan is a dynamic speaker and excellent presenter. His message is a critical one in this age of constant change and challenge."
- Dr. Bruce H. JacksonExecutive Director: The Center for the Advancement of Leadership, Utah Valley State College
