Jonathan Sprinkles – Speaking For People Who Already Know You (UT Austin)

I didn’t know what to expect. I was asked to speak to students at my alma mater, the University of Texas at Austin, at the McCombs School of Business. I was a Marketing major back in my day. This was the first time I was able to accept the invitation to come “back home” since I left. I was excited…

LOL. ROFL. LMAO…

Jonathan Sprinkles – When Things REALLY Don’t Go Well On Stage

I have to admit, I am really confused right now. I have no idea what to say about my recent experiences. I couldn’t even begin to give you a blow-by-blow account of the last five schools I’ve spoken for. I can tell you that this orientation season has been my busiest ever. While I’m certainly no Dave Coleman or SwiftKick (those guys are gone for six weeks at a time), I have been, by my standards, on the go. I’m writing this in a Hilton hotel lobby, not sure what to make of everything I have experienced over the last fortnight. Read more »

Jonathan Sprinkles – Returning For A Fifth Time…With A Twist (Ursuline College)

IMG_5477

Ursuline College gave me a rare opportunity to make my fifth annual appearance. I have been to different schools and organizations more than five times, but only a select few have I been there for five years. At this point, I am only seven full-time years into my career. This was obviously a milestone.

 Interestingly, the biggest lessons came long before I hit the stage. Their budget was slashed tremendously this year, so they couldn’t afford even the reduced investment that they were paying from previous years. I had to make a decision about what to do; go for the money or keep the relationship going. In this instance, there wasn’t one correct answer, so I had to think about the long-term benefit of both.

Jonathan Sprinkles – How to shine at a leadership retreat (Tyler Junior College)

IMG_5466

Wow. It has been so long since I last wrote an article, I have nearly forgotten what to write about.

 I promised Vince I would write about this event because I failed to do so last year. I think he felt slighted. Sorry man.

 Every year, Tyler Junior College does a leadership retreat at a place called Sky Ranch. It is, hands down, the nicest camps  I’ve been to. Ever. I’ve seen higher end facilities but nobody has as many activities. They have every sport you can imagine (except curling) and every inch of the vast land is well-manicured.

 I’m going somewhere with this.
