Despite being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and arthritis at a young age, Jason overcame these challenges to become the head of news and information at a national television network. There, he led team to national and international awards while dramatically increasing productivity.

Jason realized that there were many people, like himself, who worked in high–performance jobs while juggling chronic health issues.  Unfortunately, our society rarely recognizes that people with chronic conditions can and do occupy ambitious or challenging jobs.

Jason created Sick with Success as a resource for those people who wished to go beyond support groups and find ways they could thrive and be fully engaged in their lives and careers. Sick with Success also educates organizations about the unpredictable, invisible and long lasting nature of chronic conditions.

Chronic illness affects a third of the workforce and is responsible for more than a trillion dollars in lost productivity in the United States alone. Imagine how much our economy could grow if we just engaged those people a little bit better.

His real-world experiences as a manager challenged by illness gives him a unique perspective on how chronic illness affects organizations and their people.

In addition to being a professional speaker, coach, and topic expert, Jason is also a certified practitioner of Ericksonian hypnosis, having learned from the legendary Dr. Mike Mandel. He uses these techniques to communicate more effectively to his audience and help create positive and long-lasting change in his coaching clients.
