I know, that last statement sounds very fancy. You want to know who I am, what experience I have, and how I can help you. Let’s fill in those gaps. I am a husband, father, educator, mentor, and former coach whose purpose is to help people live a better life than what they would have if they had never met me. The vehicle I use to live that purpose is education, consulting, and speaking. Like most people with over 20 years experience in their field, I have evolved a lot by learning from experience, other people, and reflection. The people that have shaped me the most are my awesome parents, legendary student-activities director from Tulsa Union High School Denise Vaniadis, and school culture speaker and consultant Phil Boyte. I have been fortunate to engineer culture change with several groups and schools but the most significant was moving the student culture from surviving to thriving at Broken Arrow (OK) High School. In 2013, I accepted the challenge of igniting student culture at Broken Arrow High School by serving the Broken Arrow School district as the Director of Student Life and Activities. During my first year as activities director at Broken Arrow, a school that had over 3,500 students enrolled in grades 10-12, we only had 100 students attend our homecoming dance, our last home football game had 28 students in the stands, and we had one leadership class of 25 students. Fast forward to 2017, BAHS had 255 students in leadership, we had established numerous traditions and activities, and we won Varsity Brand’s Most Spirited High School in America contest which included a $25,000 prize. The student culture turnaround I ignited at Broken Arrow led to consulting, facilitation, and speaking opportunities. In 2018, I left Broken Arrow Public Schools to work as a full-time facilitator, consultant, and speaker for Phil Boyte at Learning for Living, Inc. My time at Learning for Learning revealed to me that the same system I used to ignite culture at Broken Arrow is universal and works for schools and organizations. In 2021, I recognized it was time to start Ignite2Unite. I look forward to partnering with you so your school or organization can thrive.

My name is Jayke (Jacob) Brown was born and raised in North Canton, Ohio. I have an amazing partner and a wonderful daughter. My family and friends are the inspirations behind a lot of my stories. I am an author, certified life coach, motivational speaker, positive psychology practitioner and relationship specialist. I tend to focus on empowering the LGBTQ+ community, individuals/companies in need and our allies! For over 15 years, I was an activity director in Health care communities. Along the way, I realized that they were helping me as much as I was helping them. Seeing the smiles on their faces brought so much joy to me. My residents helped me realize that we are always working on ourselves and creating new dreams. My dream of becoming an author started when a resident asked me, "What are you waiting for Jayke?" This lit a fire under me to stop waiting and I began making my dreams my reality! I am now working full-time as an entrepreneur following my dreams while traveling domestically, internationally, and virtually to help others reach their dreams too.
