Verified @indwes.eduDr. Jason Carthen will be an outstanding resource to your organization or at one of your organizational events. Dr. Carthen was the keynote speaker for our Indiana Wesleyan University PhD annual residency banquet. I have received numerous compliments about Jason from students and faculty. They used words like inspiring, motivational, authentic, and real. Some even used the phrase "unexpected," perhaps given to any preconceived thinking they might have had about professional or former professional athletes. As Dr. Carthen shared his journey of faith, hope, and perseverance to overcome challenges, integrating important principles of self- and other-leadership about how to build a life and context of influence, they reported renewed optimism and strength for writing the next chapters of their own lives and their organizations in positive and productive directions. I am confident to say that your students, your employees, and you (personally) will benefit from having Dr. Carthen speak, consult, and engage in your organization.

Verified @wbd.comI had the pleasure of connecting with Dr. Jason to explore him doing some work for us following the Warner Bros. Discovery merger. We wanted to run a speaker series to help employees during the uncertain period that followed, and give them some tools to help them manage during times of change. From the first moment I met Dr. Jason - I knew he was the right person to kick-off the whole series. He radiates positivity and has bundles of enthusiasm. Tie that in with almost 2 decades of experience and it was a no-brainier. We contracted Dr. Jason to be our opening speaker on the topic of mindset during change and uncertainty. Over the following weeks, he met with different members of the team, and asked all the right questions to make sure the session would meet our objectives given the tricky organizational landscape we were facing. The session was fantastic and so inspiring! His personable and upbeat approach landed very well with our employees, and the content was incredibly engaging. * Dr. Jason is flexible, thoughtful and ultra communicative - from a client perspective he's a dream consultant to work with! I sincerely hope we can continue our collaborations in the future.

Those individuals that did not see themselves having success in traditional employment opportunities were given the necessary tools to create a plan for success. I was also impressed with Dr. Carthen's ability to connect with the students. A mutual respect and level of trust existed that gave participants the confidence to seek personal counseling. All in all, Dr. Carthen did a phenomenal job in motivating the participants to seek a better life for themselves and their families.
