Hi everyone,

I’m Dr. Jason Carthen. Some of you know me by “The Leadership Linebacker™” or just Dr. Jason! I’m a former Professional Football Player with the World Champion New England Patriots, an international speaker, author, avid blogger, media-personality, and philanthropist.

As an Author

I have written three books, most recently 52 Ways To Tackle Leadership for Your Success™. I am also the author of the forthcoming book, Destiny Focused Leadership™ which is on the topic of leading with heart while guided by a long-term vision. I am also the author of several journal publications academic in research and scope.

I am the founder of How To Speak Life & Create Wealth,™ Speak Life University®, and The Speak Life Academy©.

My Content & Blog

I’m known as the Leadership Linebacker™ due to my passion for leadership and the study of  human capacities for leadership and follower influence. I train, coach, and provide consultative services in the domain of leadership while making it fun and interesting for my audiences (see Testimonials).  I also continue to publish in the areas of Leadership, Motivation and Sales with the goal of providing  audiences with a sense of hope and optimism regardless of their current circumstances.

My personal mission is to Motivate, Inspire and Challenge individuals and organizations to achieve their very best in this lifetime. You can find out more on my Speak Life Blog© page which provides key leadership practices to help us all lead more effectively. The Blog also provides a greater introduction to my academic positions and thoughts on leadership and business practice. I typically post three times a week, occasionally more.
