Jon Colby

Named a 2026 Real Leaders® Top Impact Speaker and a Vistage Top Speaker on Communication five years running, Jon Colby helps organizations build stronger leaders, better communicators, and higher-trust teams through practical, improv-based training.

With more than 25 years of experience applying improvisational principles to leadership and communication, Jon gets every person in the room participating, not just the brave few in the front row. Teams leave more collaborative, more engaged, and more confident making decisions in real time, with tools they can use the same day—on the job.

A graduate of the Second City Conservatory and an educator with over 15 years of classroom experience, Jon blends humor, structure, and psychological safety to create learning environments where participation feels natural and outcomes stick. Through the Colby Leadership Institute, teams keep building those skills long after the session ends, with guided exercises and video instruction.

Jon delivers fully customized keynotes and workshops for Fortune 100 companies, associations, and nonprofits. His clients include American Express, Honda, Salesforce, Duke Energy, AdventHealth, Intermountain Health, OneAmerica, Charles Schwab, Century 21, and Intuit.
