Energy, Laughter, and Tools That Turn Tough Times
into High-Performing Leaders and Teams!

Shawn Doyle, CSP, never planned to become a speaker. He was selling foam cups for a food-service manufacturer when he volunteered to present at the company’s national sales meeting, with no speaking experience at all. Two weeks later, the training department called and offered him a job. He had found his calling.

Since then, Shawn has become a Certified Speaking Professional who takes the stage more than 100 times a year. He has written more than 24 books, including the popular Jumpstart series on leadership, motivation, productivity, and creativity. NASA, Microsoft, Disney, Coca-Cola, L’Oreal, Comcast, Vinci Energy, Hilton, ABC, Pfizer, IBM, The White House, Lockheed Martin, and every branch of the U.S. military have trusted him with their people.

His keynotes include Jumpstart Your Leadership, Jumpstart Your Motivation, and How to Get Motivated and Stay Positive During Tough Times. Behind them are more than 70 interactive training programs and an executive coaching process that help organizations keep the momentum going long after the event. Audiences are usually on their feet within the first five minutes, and they’re laughing soon after. He has been a contributing writer for The Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, Inc., The Good Men Project, and Addicted2Success.

Shawn’s own life has tested everything he teaches. After a five-year battle with lung disease and a double lung transplant, he now shares My Lungs Failed, But My Faith Didn’t! with churches and faith-based events. It’s a powerful message of hope, perseverance, and God’s faithfulness.

Whether he’s speaking to a ballroom of executives, a front-line team, or a church filled with families,  audiences don’t just leave inspired. They leave with something in hand: a personal action plan, Shawn’s 10 essential leadership skills ready to use, and practical “Think Tools” worksheets from his books. Shawn follows up with assessments, a structured coaching process with written action plans after every session, and an online resource library. Your investment keeps paying off long after the event is over.
