“I wanted to express how truly inspired I am by Jason’s story and his delivery of such personal life changing events!

I cannot even count how many people have approached me stating how much they enjoyed listening to Jason, there were tears in the crowd, laughter, and very eager engaged audience members.

WOW! The next time I begin to start a complaint, I pray that I stop and begin to make coffee instead.”

Katie Duitsman

Spectrum Health

“As an organization facing institutional change and disruption, Jason’s message of hope and perseverance was clear, transparent, and absolutely timely.

Jason delivered one of the most moving and impactful presentations I have ever witnessed, his message was precisely what were looking for!

I would recommend Jason Schechterle as a keynote speaker to any organization facing change in the near future. Jason held the attention of our entire team for almost an hour, before taking numerous questions from the attendees, the room went silent as each teammate listened intently to this message.

Perhaps more important than being a well-rehearsed speaker, Jason he is a true gentleman and will be a friend of our team for years to come.”

Kevin Corwin

AVP Internal Sales, Pacific Life

“I was so moved by your presentation last week. Truly, you deliver a story to perfection—so moving and so inspirational. Everything you said was remarkable.”

Diane Simon

Gift of Life Michigan

“I loved our time together and our conversation has had such an impact on my life.

For example, yesterday my husband and I spent the day in Flagstaff. We went for a hike, and it started raining… and then pouring. We got so completely soaked (head to toe), and as it was happening, I found myself reflecting on your words regarding acceptance when you were in the hospital. I consciously decided to accept the situation: we were about an hour away from the car, had no umbrella, and the rain was coming down heavily. I knew that I’d be soaked, so I realized that I might as well enjoy it.

From that moment, it was pure joy and pure FREEDOM. I jumped in puddles and didn’t care. I felt like a little kid again.”

Vered Kogan

Life Coach, and Speaker, Momentum Institute

“I wanted to convey just how much your story meant, not only to me but to our entire staff. We conducted a survey among the attendees, and your presentation received the highest ratings by a significant margin!

I understand that it was an incredibly busy time for you, so I want to extend even more heartfelt thanks for making the trip. You are a truly special individual, and my prayer for you is that you continue to share your story with others, allowing them to witness how one can emerge from genuine adversity with a smile on their face. My goodness, anyone who thinks they’ve had a tough day, week, or month should have the privilege of meeting someone like you! You made me both laugh and cry.

Bless you for your openness and for sharing your entire story!”

Lydia Stoner

“I saw you on a TV show, The First 48. I have diabetes and systemic lupus medically. I’m retired from the Navy due to nerve damage from an active-duty spine injury and spinal surgery. I’ve been trying to stay active and functional, but it’s been tough. When I read your story, I told myself that if you can go through what you did and still work, then I can push through the pain.

Thanks to you, I accomplished more this week than I have in the past two months. You are my inspiration to keep moving forward. Thank you.”
