Hire Jon Harmeling for your next keynote.
Former West Point Instructor. Current Chick-fil-A Operator. Talks on AI, leadership, and significance that audiences actually remember.
"If you want a keynote speaker who holds attention and leaves your team with something real, Jon is the call to make."
Three keynotes. One operator who actually does the work.
AI for the Non-Technical Leader
A practical guide for leaders without a technical background who need to make AI decisions for their teams. Built for executives, operators, and senior managers.
Significance Over Success
A talk about what happens after you hit the metrics. How to choose work that compounds over a lifetime instead of impressing for a quarter.
Manager vs. Leader
The five behaviors that separate the people who get promoted into leadership from the people who plateau in middle management.
An operator, not an academic.
Jon Harmeling served in the Army, taught systems engineering at West Point, then walked away from federal work to operate a Chick-fil-A. Today he runs ten AI systems inside his own restaurant, from sales forecasting to inventory to hiring.
He speaks to leaders about how to actually use AI without losing the soul of the business. Not theory. Not vendor pitches. The framework of an operator who runs it in production every day.
Book a 20-minute Fit Call.
No sales pitch. Just a conversation about your event, your audience, and whether Jon is the right fit. If he is not, he will tell you and refer you to someone who is.
