ABOUT JASON W. FREEMAN:
Whether speaking in front of thousands of people or coaching a client one-on-one, Jason Freeman has a unique gift to both inspire and guide his audience to recognize the best within themselves and take a step closer toward the goals and dreams they desire.
Aided by a speech impediment, Jason exemplifies the awesome possibility of turning limitations into leverage that, with persistence, can turn defeat into triumph. He has shared the stage with well-known speakers in business, education and (dis)ABILITY communities around the country and would love to help you or your audience make their goals actionable and attainable.
JASON'S TEDx TALK
“When I was eight, a voice started talking to me. My perfectionistic voice. Do you know that voice? We all do. And unfortunately, my perfectionistic voice has never had a speech impediment. I’ve always understood it, crystal clear.” And what it had to say was critical, unsupportive, hurtful, and harmful.
As the years went on, I listened to it more and more and more . . . Until, at age twelve, I lost complete sight of my beauty and potential. In isolation, I did the only thing I knew how to do: I attempted to take my own life. That was when another voice spoke up…”
We all have circumstances, mine started with a birth injury. Yours may be totally different.” ~ Jason W. Freeman
Moved by what you see? I can be much more than an encouraging video on your screen.
My Awkwardly Awesome Presentations are always fresh and valuable, never day-old donuts or musty socks.
I talk about powerful perspective shifts, practicing resilience, celebrating uniqueness, and courageous action-taking. I combine structured, impactful teachings with entertaining, impromptu moments that are sometimes funny, sometimes profound, and sometimes, admittedly, inspire a groan or two from the audience.

Jason was great to work with. Very timely in his responses. Very cost effective. Did a great job.
Jason’s talk was excellent: full of wisdom, encouragement, inspiration, and ‘Use on Monday morning’ content.
I am still smiling over the smashing success of last night! I was overjoyed to see so many teenagers – with so many questions!
