Jon Montgomery

“It was an honour to have Jon speak at the 25th Anniversary of the Southwest Agricultural Conference. Jon was inspirational, presenting with relatable anecdotes and humour, ending with an exhilarating conclusion as he shared footage of his Olympic win. THRILLING! After his presentation, with authentic enthusiasm Jon graciously spent time meeting and conversing with attendees, paying special attention to 4-H youth, and sharing his gold with anyone that wanted a picture. As a special treat, Jon auctioned off a “beer pitcher” with proceeds to support 4-H. Jon is definitely an excellent presenter, personable, down to earth, and Canadian to the core. Best wishes, and come back soon Jon!”

“It was such a pleasure to have Jon Montgomery host our Guys’ Night Out event at Hudson’s Bay Vancouver. He was enthusiastic and genuine with all of our guests, and his charisma was felt throughout the room. He took the time to shake everyone’s hand, take pictures with fans, and even let guests give his gold medal a try. He was approachable, great to work with, and made sure that everyone had a good time.”

“Jon Montgomery was a featured speaker at the Alberta Sport and Recreation Leadership Summit Olympic Athlete Panel Presentation. Jon’s passion and inspiration along with his charismatic personality had everyone’s attention. He is an outstanding spokesperson who is engaging and compelling. His ability to share his journey of what has transpired throughout his career on his path to an Olympic gold medal was absolutely brilliant.”

“Jon had a lot of energy and relatable experience. His delivery was humble and at the same time proud of his accomplishments. His story was very relevant to a Canadian audience and his participation with our audience was gracious. He took time to meet and greet many of the attendees at the conclusion of the event, signing autographs, providing his gold medal to anyone and everyone to touch and share in the experience. He is a true Canadian in every sense of the word!”

“It was a pleasure to have Jon Montgomery speak at our Gatorade sales rally this past January. He was engaging, inspiring, and incredibly authentic in his delivery. There wasn't a single person in the room who didn't feel intimately connected to Jon's talk and at the end, he took time to shake hands, take pictures, and sign autographs for each and every one of us.”

“Jon was the keynote speaker at our National Firm Retreat this past June. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and was very accommodating to our schedule and needs. Jon has a very down to earth, Canadian style about him that allowed him to easily connect with everyone in the room. He was able to tie his messages of taking ownership of your future and working collaboratively with others directly to the central themes of our retreat using humour and real-life anecdotes. Jon helped to get our retreat off to an energetic start and I would highly recommend him to anyone.”

“Jon did such a great job speaking at our conference; the delegates loved him and were so pleased to have opportunities to have photos with him before and after his talk. Yes that’s right, he was gracious enough to take photos before his talk while the AV was being set up. We have had nothing but positive feedback on his talk, and that he was the highlight of the conference!”

“Jon delivered a truly inspirational message at our national leader conference earlier this year. His message was right on the mark…inspiring leaders to take responsibility for challenging goals in the face of an uncertain path and really demonstrating how to take ownership for developing your full potential and that of your team. Jon is skilled at communicating his message in a way that resonates across a diverse audience with just the right blend of humour and candour. Jon Montgomery was the perfect keynote speaker for setting the stage at our national conference.”

“Thank you for helping give the Parks and Recreation Ontario Forum such a spectacular finish! You wove your understanding of our sector just beautifully into your story. People laughed, were inspired, felt emphatic, and celebrated your success. And, because you presented your story in such a genuine way, the delegates could see a little bit of themselves come to life. Lastly, you really made the day of everyone who waited to get a picture with you and the gold medal. For a moment, each of them was on top of that mountain, and the podium, with you. Stellar, Jon, just stellar!”

“Jon Montgomery gave a first class professional presentation at the Winnipeg Convention Centre to an audience of independent retailers, hardware vendors, and TruServ Canada staff at the TruServ Canada Spring Market. His presentation was very well received and cited by audience members as the best pre-market function ever. Jon is friendly, unpretentious and a captivating speaker with a great Canadian story. He connects with his audience and is a real crowd-pleaser. I highly recommend Jon as a motivational speaker in any context.”

“Jon was a wonderfully energetic and infectiously enthusiastic speaker. He spoke from the heart, and very naturally, about his journey to his Olympic dream, and kept our group captivated and entertained the entire time. He is a true Canadian spirit.”
