About

Jordan Toma

Before Jordan Toma was speaking on stages across the country, he was the student sitting quietly in the back of the classroom hoping nobody would call on him.

He struggled with ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, anxiety, self-doubt, and the overwhelming feeling that everyone else had life figured out while he was simply trying to keep up. School wasn't just difficult. It was lonely.

For years, Jordan believed the labels placed on him would define his future. He believed he wasn't smart enough, capable enough, or good enough to achieve the things he dreamed about. He was wrong.

Today, Jordan is one of the most sought-after motivational and mental health speakers in the United States, reaching hundreds of thousands of students, educators, and families every year. But Jordan's assemblies are about much more than motivation.

They're about connection. Students don't connect with Jordan because he stands on a stage. They connect with him because he understands what it feels like to struggle. What it feels like to be overlooked. What it feels like to sit in a classroom believing nobody sees you.

Every assembly is built around one simple idea:

Everyone wants to feel seen. Everyone wants to feel understood. Everyone wants to know they matter. Through powerful storytelling, humor, vulnerability, and real-life experiences & engagement Jordan creates an environment where students feel safe, understood, and empowered to believe in themselves & be themselves.

His message reaches far beyond the students raising their hands and participating. It reaches the students sitting quietly in the back. The students eating alone at lunch. The students carrying struggles nobody knows about.

The students who desperately need someone to remind them they are not alone.

At the same time, Jordan challenges educators, administrators, counselors, and parents to see what others miss. Because changing a life often begins with one conversation. One connection. One moment when someone feels noticed.

Schools across the country continue to bring Jordan back because his message doesn't end when the assembly is over.

The conversations continue in classrooms. The lessons continue in hallways. The impact continues long after the final applause.

Jordan's mission is simple:

To help people see themselves differently, see others differently, and remind every student that their struggles do not define them. They make them. Because sometimes the student who needs hope the most is sitting right in front of us.

We just have to see them. If you are ready to bring a message of hope, connection, resilience, and real-life impact to your students, book Jordan Toma for your next school assembly, conference, or event.

One assembly can start the conversation.

One message can shift the way a student sees themselves.

One moment can change a life.
