The best inspirational speakers pair a credible personal story with a clear understanding of the audience and a delivery style that holds attention. Jon Dorenbos is known for combining his 14-year NFL career, story of resilience and forgiveness, world-class magic, and extensive corporate event experience. His 1,000+ keynote appearances include presentations for Fortune 500 organizations and major events.

Jon speaks at corporate conferences, company meetings, leadership retreats, sales kickoffs, strategic planning sessions, incentive trips, client events, trade shows, and national association conventions.

Yes. Jon’s keynote presentations are customized around the message leadership wants attendees to carry forward. Before the event, the team can share organizational priorities, audience context, event goals, and the business moment behind the program. Jon weaves those themes into his storytelling and magic so the keynote feels connected to your people, rather than like a generic motivational presentation.

Jon brings together three elements that rarely appear in one keynote: a deeply personal resilience story, 14 years of professional NFL experience, and world-class magic. His appearances as an America’s Got Talent finalist and regular on The Ellen DeGeneres Show add recognizable entertainment credentials. This combination creates a presentation designed to inspire, entertain, and give audiences a memorable connection to your event’s message.

For major conferences, annual meetings, incentive programs, and leadership retreats, begin speaker research as early as possible—often several months before the event. Earlier planning provides more flexibility around program design and date availability. When reaching out, have your event date, location, audience size, agenda role, and desired outcome ready so the booking conversation can move efficiently.
