Nathan Jamail is a record-setting performer, CEO, Adjunct Professor in the MBA program at SMU’s Cox School of Business—where he has earned over 18 Teacher Excellence Awards - and bestselling author of multiple leadership and sales books- though he’ll tell you he’s not a writer—he’s a business leader who writes for leaders.


During his tenure as an Executive Director at a Fortune 100 company, Nathan built and led seven #1 producing teams across five states and Puerto Rico. He has also built, scaled, and sold multiple small businesses. That real-world performance—at both the corporate and entrepreneurial level—drives everything he teaches today.
 

For more than two decades, Nathan has coached and developed leaders on three continents and thousands worldwide. His coaching principles have become the leadership backbone for hundreds of organizations across manufacturing, finance, technology, communications, hospitality, and beyond.


In a business climate shaped by AI acceleration, economic uncertainty, and constant disruption, Nathan brings clarity and execution. He teaches leaders how to leverage technology without losing their edge, build accountability without sacrificing culture, and create teams that win because of discipline, ownership, and trust. AI can automate. It can analyze. It can accelerate. But it cannot replace real leadership.


Nathan shows organizations how to amplify human ingenuity — building connection, resilience, and IMPACT that technology simply cannot replicate.

Speaking Topics

BUILD TO WIN Expect More, Execute Better: The Mindset And Practices That Deliver Exceptional Results

It’s not the market that determines whether your organization succeeds. It’s the mindset and practices of your leaders and teams.


The organizations that outperform the competition aren’t more talented. They’re more disciplined, more practiced, and more aligned. They refuse to set “realistic” goals that shortchange their people and their potential. They don’t just see winning as an outcome—they see it as a mindset, one that shifts what they expect and what excuses they’re willing to accept.


In this culture-changing keynote, Nathan shows leaders how to foster a mindset where winning becomes expected and coaches their employees to higher levels of commitment, discipline, and performance. Leaders leave prepared to choose logical over realistic goals and equipped to build teams that believe in what they do, commit to the process, and practice the behaviors that drive exceptional results.

FROM AVOIDANCE TO ACCOUNTABILITY: How Leaders Create Ownership, Raise Expectations, And Strengthen Performance

Today’s workforce desperately needs leaders who know how to set expectations and hold their team accountable. That’s where Nathan comes in.


Accountability is crucial to an organization’s success, yet many leaders struggle to maintain a high standard. They hesitate to challenge underperformance, tolerate excuses, and leave their teams floundering—unsure what’s expected and how to perform at their best.


In this keynote, Nathan shows leaders why accountability creates ownership, making it one of the most important things they can do for their people. Leaders learn how to hold others accountable without damaging relationships, create clear expectations, reinforce standards, and build a framework for elevating performance without fear or confusion.

PRACTICE MAKES PROFIT: Prepare For The Small Moments That Drive Big Growth

Every client interaction matters. So how do you make sure each sales conversation connects with your client? Practice.


Selling isn’t an innate ability—it’s a skill that needs to be developed. Yet many sales professionals and teams spend most of their time on process and product knowledge, with little time spent practicing the skills that actually drive performance.


In this high-impact, interactive keynote, Nathan challenges audiences to treat sales like the performance activity it is, even when it feels awkward. Through practical tools and real-time scrimmaging, teams learn how to elevate their skills, build confidence, and prepare for the small moments that determine the big outcomes.

CLARITY CREATES TRUST: Why Your Team Deserves Clear Expectations And Hard Conversations

Trust is a competitive advantage. But leaders can’t demand trust or assume it will happen—they have to earn it. And that starts with clarity.


As expectations rise and information moves faster, leaders need their employees to trust them more than ever. Yet too often, leaders avoid difficult conversations, soften expectations, or allow unclear communication to create fear and confusion.


In this keynote, Nathan challenges leaders to stop confusing trust with silence and start creating clarity through proactive communication, courageous conversations, and clear expectations. Leaders learn practical tools for addressing difficult conversations, removing fear from engagement, and building a culture where trust strengthens performance.

SELLING BEGINS WITH YOU: Start Building The Mindset Of A Top Performer

What separates average sales professionals from top performers? It’s not talent, experience, or even hustle. It’s mindset.


Sales professionals and teams who outsell the competition don’t do it by setting realistic goals. They do it by having the confidence and conviction to set logical goals—goals that feel impossible but logically are not.


Nathan challenges the excuses and complacency that keep sales teams from developing a mindset that sells. Leaders and sales professionals leave with a stronger belief in their product, themselves, and their profession—and the confidence, skills, and framework to set and achieve higher sales goals than ever before.

Testimonials

"Nathan’s workshop ‘Creating a Winning Culture’ is refreshingly direct and immediately actionable. While I believe Nathan’s principle-based messages are applicable to almost any organization, I appreciate even more the time and effort he took to really listen and understand how to apply it to our company. Nathan is superb at getting to root causes and addressing real issues that will impact performance."

"Nathan took time to understand our business model, and integrated his presentation with relevant language and illustrations particular to our company. It’s been two months since he presented here, and our sales force is still buzzing over what they learned, and how they put it into action, and asking when we will have him back! More than anything, Nathan is an authentic “walk the talk” guy, that exceeded our expectations!"

"Nathan’s passion and attitude are contagious! His ability to engage an audience and compel them to take action, is truly impressive. If you are considering investing in your people, Nathan will deliver the value and execute beyond your expectations. We plan on forging a long-term relationship with Nathan and his team."

“Nathan Jamail conducted a Sales Leadership training for 45 sales and engineering leaders. The Sales Leadership training would be better described as a highly interactive engagement with a continuous exchange of thought provoking ideas. Through entertaining and relevant dialogue, Nathan challenged the leaders to evaluate their leadership approach in terms of expectations, coaching/practice interactions, fostering a positive environment and continuously hiring and cultivating great talent. Nathan was able to maintain engagement and participation throughout the 6 hour session through high energy, fast paced dialogue and interactive exercises. The training was extremely valuable to the leadership team by creating a consistent set of leadership expectations, introducing common terms and increasing leadership collaboration.”

"Enjoyed is an understatement. He was phenomenal!! I heard comments from seasoned folks that he is the best they have ever heard! He did such a great job of personalizing his presentation to our group. He took the time to learn our organization, our acronyms (and we have a ton), meet some of our people and incorporated that into his presentation. He even wrote lyrics to a little song using our acronyms that was hysterical… I would highly recommend him!”

“After speaking with our sales team, I received only positive feedback from the morning we spent with Nathan. I’d highly recommend having Nathan speak with any sales force or group of sales leaders regardless of the current situation. Nathan’s message is one that can be inspiring for both senior level sales and entry level sales people as well as sales leaders. The message is succinct and to the point and really leaves you with an upbeat and optimistic attitude, that is, we’re living the dream every day!!”

“Nathan is a high energy individual and it makes the message more believable when you can see that this guy knows how to be successful. Nathan took a lot of time to learn about our organization and tailor his remarks for our benefit. I would certainly recommend him to any group with new or experienced managers.”

“Nathan, thanks for the energy brought to our team! The material in your book is spot on and your delivery is even better. You provided an opportunity to reflect on areas on my business that need improvement. These areas are not complicated, just difficult, and with that complexity, decisions don’t get made and challenges continue to slow progress.”

“Nathan is an excellent motivational speaker who brings a vast amount of business experience and parlays that into a great message for employees. Nathan does an excellent job of providing guidance to employees on how to win”

"You were a big hit with our leadership and sales team, so thanks for making me look good."

"In the 20+ years I've been in sales management, I've booked dozens of keynote speakers ranging from 4-Star generals to World Series-winning managers to captains of industry. In that time, no speaker has made a more positive impact on his audience than Nathan Jamail. His enthusiasm, passion, understanding of human behavior, and earnest nature all contribute to making him incredibly engaging and effective. Mr. Jamail's strength is his ability to deliver practical messages in a relatable way that is equally appreciated by and beneficial for any demographic or global culture."

"I was extremely impressed with today’s presentation. I gained a huge amount of insight and inspiration from the presentation. Nathan’s “real world” approach and relevant analogies are without a doubt effective and impactful. I’m excited to see what I am able to do by using today’s presentation to change my approach to coaching."

“I am so grateful to have had Nathan work with my team and I twice now. The benefits have shown themselves over and over again. Highly recommend bringing Nathan Jamail into your world.”

"Nathan was absolutely the most dynamic speaker I have ever seen and I know that our people thoroughly enjoyed him as well!!"

"In February 2014 we chose Nathan Jamail to be our key presenter at our Sales and Management Conference. Attendees included Corporate Management, Sales Management and Sales personnel. Nathan’s presentation on how to be a Sales Professional was outstanding. As a matter of fact we were so pleased with what he delivered in February that we invited him back to talk to Sales Management only recently, to assist them in managing, coaching and holding our sales team accountable for their results. His second presentation was equal to if not better than the first. If you are looking for someone to assist you and your team be better sales professionals I would recommend you listen to what Nathan has to say."

"I wanted to send you a thank you. I was at the Marco leadership training in Minneapolis a few weeks back. I have taken a lot of the items you’ve discussed and implemented them. My one-on-one's are dramatically more productive, and I have 3 interviews prepped for my recruiting efforts. My team has taken to the practicing very well. So much so they randomly come into my off to just ask and do it ad hoc. On my whiteboard I have one of your quotes so when I talk to my employees it’s actually over their head to see. It says “accountability is a selfless act” Thank you so much. As time goes on I know this will help with our customer interactions and sales. You are an incredible speaker and I truly enjoyed the time! No question one of the best trainings I’ve ever been in!"

"Nathan came highly recommended as a keynote speaker to help TelePacific accentuate specific themes to our direct sales leadership team at our recent sales management training in Las Vegas. Nathan's session was voted one of the highlights of our several day meeting as he not only delivered meaningful and relevant content, but did so in a highly passionate and entertaining manner that kept everyone engaged. I look forward to working with him again and leveraging his deep knowledge and understanding of sharing how to be a coach and not just a manager, It left a lasting impression on our team which we fully expect to pay dividends in our sales results."

"Very powerful message in which we can utilize in business and personal life. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for sharing your ideas to become a better leader. Nathan is very passionate, energetic and most of all REAL in his message. You are now my mentor in becoming a better leader and building a winning business team. I can't say enough how his message has changed my outlook in life!!!!"
