Keynote Topics
"MOTIVATION IN MOTION"
How ordinary people are capable of doing things that nobody has ever done before. Then Jones drives his point home by showing how he re-invented juggling to make it easier for someone with only one good hand.
Indeed, by developing a system that uses a knee and/or foot, in cooperation with his able left hand,
Jones can keep as many as five balls in the air for some time.
He tailors his upbeat message to meet your company or organization’s needs. And keeps everyone laughing so hard they are thoroughly entertained as well.
"HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH"
BlueCHOICE asked Jones to write a program for their 1995 Anti-Drug/Anti-Alcohol Scholarship Awards Dinner. The result was a speech called “Hold Your Head Up High.”
It explains how to get high on your own achievements instead of alcohol and other drugs.
The program was a “monster hit” and Jones has been performing it in schools ever since.
DISABLED / ABLED
Jones also does a program on disability awareness.
He has twice performed it for the U.S. Army, drawing standing ovations each time. An excellent program for schools colleges and corporations.
Jones explains how disabled people must often perform at a higher level than anyone else (applying for the same position) in order to even be considered for the job.
He tells of the many people throughout history who have overcome adversity to achieve success.
But Jones knows the best way to get any message across is to keep the audience entertained, by performing a truly hilarious show.
Read Full Bio
Comedy juggler Dale Jones Motivational speaker has been called the most unique juggler in the world with good reason.
Jones invented an entirely new way to juggle in order to compensate for his right hand (which he injured severely at age eight). Featured in both “PEOPLE MAGAZINE” and “USA TODAY,” the International Juggler’s Association has touted Jones as one of the world’s best jugglers despite his disability.
Jones performs world-class original comedy along with his juggling. In fact his act is so entertaining that after guest starring on the “STATLER BROS. SHOW,” (TNN), the producer said, “Dale Jones completely blew us away.”
On concert dates, Jones has shared the stage with Ray Stevens (Anderson Music Hall, Hiawassee, GA); KC & The Sunshine Band (Chip In’s Island Resort & Casino, Harris, MI); and Marie Osmond (Rickman Auditorium, Arnold, MO), to name a few.
Jones has even headlined a one-man show three different times in Branson, MO (Owen’s Theater). He is also one of very few jugglers to ever have star status in a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey television special (“CLOWN COLLEGE,” CBS).
Indeed, Dale Jones Motivational speaker has been featured on many other national TV shows as well. (“ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT;” “CBS EVENING NEWS;” and “AMERICA’S FUNNIEST PEOPLE” among others.)
Jones “travels in that rare air. He’s certainly one of a kind,” according to “THE ASSOCIATED PRESS” article on him. “He fills the act with wit,” said “CHICAGO SUN-TIMES” Comedy Reporter, Ernest Tucker.
To be sure, his act is a highly original, skill packed, belly-laughter, with a huge, rousing finish! Which allows Jones to state with confidence that “my goal is always to be the most well received entertainer anywhere I perform.”
Dale Jones Motivational speaker has performed for many companies each year. He offers a G-rated show that can be tailored to suit your needs. His skill packed performance is a perfect way to liven up conversations, meetings, award dinners and almost any corporate event.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses and other costs
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Deposits and securing a booking
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
