"To Step Back from the Baggage Claim means to exit the rat race, if only for a moment. In the act of 'stepping back' we make room for new ways of being and thinking, allowing our best selves and our best leadership to emerge. Jason's work with our staff was a hit. He has the genuine ability to be present with others in the moment. Because he 'shows up' 100%, the audience is fully engaged as well. His relatedness as a person embodies the basis of a culture of effective communication."
- Dr. Wiley "Chip" Souba, Dean, Dartmouth Medical School

"Jason is a remarkable speaker with a tremendous amount of energy and dedication to both doing good in the world and helping others become successful. He finds creative ways to engage everyone around him into working to their ultimate potential. I loved watching him captivate our students with positive reinforcement, humanity, humility, and passion."
-Karen Ramos, Education Abroad Program Manager, University of Cincinnati

"Jason's message was extremely well-received by our students, staff, faculty, and corporate partners who were also present at the event. Jason spoke as the keynote to one of our annual signature events for our students. He tailored his speech to address the theme of our event and was a pleasure to work with."
-Christian Bartels, Associate Director for Student Life, University of Minnesota

"The fast-paced and mobile world that our students are growing up in makes it difficult for them to define community. Their experiences cross so many different times and places, that it is easy for them to get lost in the shuffle. Jason's presentation was a wonderful reminder to our students and staff what true community is all about! Our students were encouraged to build, maintain and repair relationships with each other and those in need."
-Matt Peterson, Principal at Jones Middle School, Upper Arlington Schools

"Jason's presentation was right on target with the values and beliefs we strive for in our school district. He gave us all something to think about and his presence made us all reconnect to the privilege it is to serve our students, their families, and the staff we work with. We came away from the day feeling energized and encouraged about the job we have to do everyday. Jason's message is refreshing."
-Kyle Kanuckel, Superintendent, River View Local Schools

"Jason's presentation at our 2011 opening convocation for teaching and support staff set the tone for the exact culture we are building and nurturing as professional educators.  The notions of compassion, dedication, and service to others can be easily overlooked in this age of accountability and testing standards.  Jason was able to revitalize these ideas and bring them to the forefront of priorities for our staff!"
-Bob Fogler, Superintendent, Indian Valley Local Schools

Jason Barger spent seven straight days flying 6,548 miles to seven different cities - living only in the airports the entire time. He studied 10,000 minutes of observations at all four corners of the U.S. and reflected on how air travel can teach us about our lives TODAY. The airport metaphor leaps to life with funny and inspiring anecdotes that raise the question, what kind of leadership is needed within our schools? In a busy and mobile world, Step Back from the Baggage Claim is a refreshing call for Servant Leadership, Mission, Culture Change, Innovation, and Collective Responsibility. What ripples will you create today? Join the Movement.
