The Jordan Toma Experience

Friday, March 28, 2025 @ 7:30pm



Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC)
30 North Van Brunt Street, Englewood, NJ 07631

Jordan Toma is a top motivational speaker in the U.S. who wrote the self-published book:  I'm Just A Kid With An IEP* that has sold over 150,000 copies, with a (home-grown) social media presence exceeding 3.8+ million followers inspiring audiences with his story and  message: My Struggle Is My Strength. (*IEP = Individualized Education Program) 

Diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia and dysgraphia, a reading comprehension learning disability, Jordan struggled in elementary school through high school missing countless days of school and never passing a test on his own. 

Despite those difficulties, Jordan turned things around during a “Step Ahead” (pre-college) program and graduated from Centenary University with a 3.3 GPA and a degree in psychology. Three years later, Jordan spoke with students in the same pre-college program he attended after 12th grade.  

Today, Jordan is a (35-year-old) successful businessman, a top insurance agent, and an investment advisor with a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio who speaks in schools and at corporate events all over the country - reminding audiences that some people simply think differently and to believe in themselves, to keep going; we are all one moment away! 

Audiences really respond to Jordan; his energy, enthusiasm and encouragement are infectious. Jordan Toma’s events motivate, build confidence and character, empower audiences, and promote kindness and inclusion. He has a way of connecting with people.
