We invited Jason to facilitate the virtual leadership series for our student leaders and it was phenomenal! He did a five part weekly series for us based on his Rock Star Project® messages. He made the workshops incredibly engaging through Zoom and, in addition to the learning, the students had lots of fun! We even watched the number of our participants grow each week and nearly doubled by the end of the series! Jason was incredibly easy to work with and really responsive to the needs of our campus and student leaders. I would highly recommend him to any campus looking for a way to engage students and teach them some new techniques to navigate this more virtual world!

Jason LeVasseur’s Rock Star Leadership Academy is absolutely phenomenal! Jason worked with our student leaders for 5 weeks and he has a gift of creating an environment that allows all who participate to feel welcomed, comfortable, and confident. Even during these times of remote learning, this was a Zoom call that everyone looked forward to.

Jason presented at our first virtual session on our series on leadership at the American University of Kuwait. It was informative, engaging, encouraging, and fun! Jason combined leadership lessons with humor and music. He was able to connect to our very diverse student-body and convey a powerful and impactful message that not only contributed to developing the students, but also their communities. It was a thought-provoking, networking filled event! We can’t wait to have him back at our future events.

What could make a year like we’ve all had a little better? How do you transform the zillionith zoom call into a lively, engaging party? Hire Jason LeVasseur! Jason was the MC at Sunriver Management’s virtual holiday get together. He made it an entertaining, inclusive an amazingly fun evening. He told stories about growing up internationally, his funny summer camp years and his days touring with rock and roll legends; played games that got us thinking about what’s really important to us; and left us all feeling a little better. We definitely recommend the Jason LeVasseur experience!

Jason was a wonderful host for our Virtual Open Mic Night, an evening activity during our annual camp conference. The event was originally going to be in-person and he quickly pivoted to offering an online opportunity when we converted to a virtual conference. Jason was easy to work with, was a clear communicator, maintained calm through small tech glitches, and ran a highly engaging program for all ages! While he was prepared to perform himself, he really encouraged others to give it a try – both with advance sign-ups and impromptu volunteers. I think some of our attendees who weren’t originally planning to perform were actually inspired to put themselves out there because of Jason’s energy, encouragement, and supportive persona. We’d definitely do something like this again with Jason as the host and emcee!

Our Student Life Office at Eureka College had Jason booked to come to campus on 3/31/2020 for a Greek Leadership Workshop. Once we knew our campus was transitioning to online learning in light of the coronavirus crisis, I contacted Jason to discuss our options. I was elated at his willingness to rethink and redesign what we had originally planned. Jason offered to speak not just once to our students; he was willing to coordinate and help us promote a 3-part online series designed to engage students outside of their classes using the virtual platform, Zoom. Our first session was yesterday with the goal of encouraging students to stay connected, giving tools and resources to do so, while physically away from campus. I SO appreciate Jason’s creativity, positivity, resourcefulness, and collegiality! Jason is responsive, flexible, and great to work with. I look forward to the next two sessions! If you are seeking a virtual or in-person teamwork and/or leadership program, I strongly recommend Jason LeVasseur!

Jason’s leadership keynote is engaging and dynamic. He is able to blend high-quality content, music, and humor to deliver meaningful leadership lessons that inspire, motivate, and educate. He spoke at our regional leadership conference and many of the attending schools enthusiastically asked how they could bring him to their campuses. Highly recommended!

What a great way to end a full day of learning. Jason was so much fun! I love how he weaves together music and an inspiring message to engage the audience. I felt like I was at a show that I didn’t want to end. I’m certainly thinking about how “my band” is impacting our audience! I highly recommend Jason for any event!

I have had the true pleasure of working with Jason LeVasseur on three separate occasions and each time Jason far exceeded my expectations. He has the ability to tailor his content to his audience allowing him to connect with anyone no matter the situation, using music, humor, and life experiences to convey his message. I will continue to invite him to our future events as both a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator. I highly recommend Jason LeVasseur.

Jason’s a great keynote speaker to get your group inspired. He really engages with the entire room between playing his songs, breaking the ice, and really helping the attendees get to know each other. He’s a great person to bring out to any event that you have!

Jason’s leadership of the staff is superb. He connects well with the other counselors, motivates them to do their best work with campers, and helps them understand in a deep way the importance of our work with children. He is also patient and listens carefully and empathetically to campers and counselors alike. At the start of each summer, Jason holds motivational and team-building sessions with the staff to gear up for the arrival of the campers. The activities he creates are carefully orchestrated and a lot of fun. We always reach a point in the middle of the summer when the counselors start to drag. Jason is the one who steps forward to re-energize the group. His experience, his positivity, and his wisdom inspire the staff to do their best work. I recommend him without hesitation.

Jason LeVasseur has been a part of our club officer and advisor development day for two years, and has been pivotal in addressing student and advisor concerns when it comes to club and team dynamics. We choose to bring Jason back because of his ability to connect with and understand the diversity of our students and staff. He has an innate ability to make people feel comfortable while pushing them to be the best versions of themselves. This has been extremely helpful with our faculty and staff advisors. Being an advisor is purely voluntary, and Jason helps reinvigorate our advisors who have many required responsibilities to continue to empower our students to learn in the co-curricular.

Having Jason host our Virtual Summer Leadership Academy was the best decision we ever made. What could have been a disaster due to our limited experience with virtual programming became the best Summer Leadership Academy we ever held. We opted to hold five 1-hour weekly sessions instead of a 1-day, 5-hour session which worked amazingly well. Each week students were excited to return and Jason was able to build a real relationship with the students over the course of the five weeks. Because students were so inspired and motivated by Jason’s Leadership Academy many of the attendees stepped out of their comfort zones this semester and took on leadership roles in student clubs and a number of them even ran for seats on the SGA. Jason truly made a lasting impression on our students and set them up for success in college and beyond.

If you didn’t know that already, Jason LeVasseur Rocks! Ferris State has had Jason’s Rock Star Leadership Project on campus and now virtually too. At both, students connected with the content and had fun! Jason is down to earth, in tune with his audience, and flexible in his style. He was able to customize a unique presentation each time to meet the needs our students. Highly recommended!

Jason LeVasseur is an incredible event partner to work with. As the host in our Virtual Open Mic Sessions, Jason effortlessly creates an environment that is inclusive and welcoming for all that join in. While he has many musical talents, the ability to help and encourage everyone participating from around the country (and even the world) feel heard and safe, while keeping up the fun, energy, and momentum throughout the 2hr event is truly his super power.

Jason LeVasseur was the opening keynote speaker and MC for our multi-day virtual staff training conference. When we pivoted from an “in person” to “virtual event”, Jason quickly became an integral part of the planning team and shared his expertise so that our event was a memorable learning experience in every possible way from start to finish. No detail was left hanging from meeting with speakers ahead of time to lining up video editing to ensure a quality recording. Jason reels in participants quickly by incorporating music, super chat, index cards for emphasis, and a good dose of energy to keep the audience engaged until the very last moment. I give Jason LeVasseur my highest recommendation and would have him back without hesitation!

While working from a virtual campus during the COVID-19 Stay at Home order, we hosted our annual dance marathon event, DemonTHON. We hired Jason as our emcee to help “through the awkward” and he was perfect in every way. He made the students feel comfortable, helped them with the transitions between activities, sang songs, got them engaging in the chat and in their homes, and would dance right along with the students. I would highly, highly, highly recommend Jason for any virtual events you may need an emcee for.

Jason LeVasseur hit the ball out of the park! His engaging keynote inspired our new students to embrace their individual talents, get outside their comfort zone and thrive as members of our campus community. The message was powerful, fun and inspiring. We are looking forward to having him back in the fall.

Jason is simply inspiring! He presented leadership in a new way that kept staff engaged for hours, by the end of his presentation all the staff felt as if they were part of “the band”. His engaging smile and positive attitude was an excellent model for everyone. I was most impressed at how he wove into the day talking points we sent prior to his arrival. During his presentation he read the crowd extremely well and adapted what he did to the needs of the group. In addition, the live music was super motivating and refreshing!

Jason’s Rock Star Leadership Presentation was a perfect fit for our annual High School Student Leadership Conference! College student members of the Lake Land College Student Government Association planned and facilitated the workshops and used Jason as the Keynote Address for the conference. There were both high school and college students in attendance and it was exactly right to appeal to a mixed audience. Jason does a great job of interacting with the audience using the perfect blend of humor, music, and quality content to leave the students with a beautifully-crafted leadership message they will remember. In addition to the Keynote Address, Jason also facilitated a 2-hour team building session with various student groups on campus. The activities he utilized for the team building were excellent and the students quickly built a rapport with Jason and were easily communicating and sharing with each other. We have booked Jason for numerous performances over the years and he never disappoints, I would recommend him as a speaker or performer for your next event!

This is the second year in a row that we brought Jason back to campus. I am still on cloud 10,000 – It was wonderful! Jason got students really comfortable to the point where we had student after student going up there on stage with him. Some students afterwards said, “where did I find the strength, where did I find the energy?” It’s because Jason was really really powerful and he knows how to inspire and engage the audience.

It was so awesome to see the kids so engaged. He played the guitar and the drums and he had the kids participating and singing along and even some of our quietest kids were singing in their loudest voices so it was fun to be able to see them use that energy in a positive way. Thank you, Jason!

He’s very down to earth and I think that’s what’s different about him as a motivational speaker. He empowers the students to feel like they can make those “Rock Star” decisions every day because they have choices to make from the moment they wake up. I would highly recommend Jason for beginning of the year, orientations and first year experience events.
