ABOUT JACK

Just In Time speech pic.PNG

Jack is a professional keynote speaker based out of Kansas City, Missouri. Jack has been able to overcome and grow from many different obstacles throughout his life. He truly believes these obstacles have been put in his life so he can learn how to “grow” instead of “go” through adversity. And now, it is his life’s work to teach as many people as possible how to overcome adversity, eliminate the victim mentality, and improve their mental health. Growing up in Kansas City, Jack thrived both academically and athletically. He was a straight-A student and 1st Team All-State athlete in high school. After high school, Jack went on to attend San Diego State University in the honors program. During his college years, Jack spent time as a competitive CrossFit athlete and later began his speaking and coaching career. However, in late 2017 all of that was put on hold, and he would spend the better part of the next 3 years in the hospital battling a chronic illness. Eventually, Jack returned to Kansas City and began inspiring positive change by sharing his story at universities, colleges, high schools, middle schools, and expos/events.

MORE TESTIMONIALS

“Thanks to Jack’s message I now feel hopeful about overcoming my struggles with stress and anxiety. During Jack's talk I both laughed and cried. I also learned a ton about what people are truly capable of. Knowing that someone else has overcome similar struggles makes me feel very optimistic about my future.”

-Cristina, student, MidAmerica Nazarene University 

"Jack Sernett is a dynamic motivational speaker who truly cares about students. Jack was able to connect with over 300 of our freshmen students this year and shared his engaging personal story of overcoming a range of challenges within his own life. Jack is professional, personable, caring and more importantly he is able to communicate with kids in a manner that they understand and connect with. If you are doing any type of work tied to the social emotional well being of your students, I highly recommend having Jack come and speak at your school."

-Kenneth Wright, Assistant Principal, Oceanside High School

"Jack really embodies the definition of having a positive mindset. Jack shared his struggles, his triumphs, and really connected with our audience. I can't wait to have Jack back for another speaking engagement, and I would encourage other organizations to hire him as a speaker."

-Omar Chavez, Program Coordinator, Just In Time for Foster Youth
