UNCOMMON LEADERSHIP
Jason's mission is to help you become a better leader and to make leading easier. Traditional leaders focus on processes, titles, and KPIs. Uncommon leaders are different because they focus first on the person. They develop influence then they make an impact.
It was the first part of my second year as principal of a middle school and I found myself hiding in a portable classroom, lights out, during the middle of a regular school day.
I realized that I was leading through my title & not using the principles and practices of developing influence.
I vowed right then and there to dedicate my life to learning, practicing, and teaching, the principles of influence and I want to help you!
7 Practices that make Jason uncommon
I listen very carefully to understand your desires and customize my content to make sure that it fits your audience. I'll even dress up according to your theme.
I am tool-based, not full of philosophy. Participants will get practical, actionable, and memorable tools to make them uncommon.
Having spent 15 years working with middle and high schoolers, I know how to keep my sessions engaging and interactive for all participants.
The concepts and principles that I teach can be applied immediately - and I never leave an event without committing people to apply them in a personal way.
I am passionate, hard-working, and an eternal optimist. That means that I will make it easy for you and I will always be ready, even if the tech fails.
Stronger confidence, a more positive culture, better employee retention, and clear direction are frequent results of my messages.

Official Bio
Jason Hunt is a dynamic, engaging, and passionate author, speaker, and trainer. During his second year as a principal of a large middle school, Jason found himself hiding in a portable classroom because he didn't think he could do his "dream job." After realizing that leadership has less to do with processes and much to do with people, Jason turned around the toxic culture of the school in just over two years by developing personal influence with his staff.
Jason's messages focus on helping leaders lead through influence rather than title. Being an introvert himself, he has an interesting viewpoint and many unique tools that can help anyone navigate the complicated world of relationships, resulting in less turnover, a stronger organizational culture, and more job satisfaction.
Jason's first major leadership role was to run a branch of 100 church members in outer Siberia when he was only 19. Since then, he has continued to be involved in many leadership positions. He is the founder and CEO of Eye Squared Leadership and he has had the pleasure of working with over 23,000 people in organizations large and small.
Jason speaks to audiences in many industries, from manufacturing to finance, to project managers, to social services, and he does so over 100 times per year. He is the current president of the National Speakers Association of Minnesota and he was just awarded the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), a distinction that only 17% of professional speakers worldwide hold.
Jason has a degree in leadership from the University of Minnesota. He is also certified by the John Maxwell Leadership Institute. In 2019 Jason published his first book, The Other Side. In 2022, he published four more books as a series entitled The Uncommon Leadership series.
Jason lives in Owatonna, Minnesota with his wife and four kids.
