Speaking Topics

RESILIENCY RX: STRESS PROOF YOUR BRAIN & BODY

PART 1: Micro Bursts: Your Pharmacy For Stress in 60-Second Doses

Stress in life and the workplace will always increase. Our jobs are never going to ask less of us, nor are our loved ones. Change and uncertainty are facts of life. Since managing or reducing stress isn’t possible, the solution is to become more resilient it. And Jenny can teach your leaders and teams how to do this 60 seconds at a time. Your team will have action steps and take-aways they can start using immediately. 


PART 2: Micro Beliefs: Your Source of Power, Clarity and Energy

Research shows that people who lack purpose are less resilient to traumatic events and have a higher incidence of depression and anxiety. They’re also more prone to burnout and are less engaged. The ultimate resilience super serum is working and living on purpose. This is the key to high performance, commitment, confidence and leadership. It’s the most powerful source of energy we possess and when we tap into it the possibilities are endless. 


PART 3: Micro Climates: Optimal Defaults...the Way That Requires No Will

PART 4: Micro Meals: Take a Bite Out of Stress

We all have to eat every day, and our choices are often affecting our chemistry and levels of stress without us knowing it.

What if you could eat in a way that optimizes your chemistry, energy, cognitive performance, focus and health… and in an easy and convenient way? Jenny will show you how. 


PART 5: Put Your Stress to Bed

Quality sleep is the foundation for resiliency, performance and health - it’s our #1 tool for energy recovery - yet more than half of us struggle with it on a nightly basis. When we’re stressed, it’s even harder: it creates a vicious cycle of being stressed about not being able to sleep, which makes it even more difficult. 


BANISHING BURNOUT: From Overworked, Overwhelmed & Overstressed, To On Fire, On Purpose & On Your Game

Employee stress and burnout are two of the top issues organizations are facing today. These are why good people quit, insurance rates are skyrocketing, and cultures turn toxic… employees are overworked, overwhelmed and overstressed. They’re OVER IT. So, let’s help your leaders and teams go from feeling Over It to ON IT - on fire, on purpose and on their game! 


In this keynote, you’ll learn how to energize and optimize your body and brain for sustained high performance, regardless of the stresses you’re facing. You’ll gain more stamina, energy, sustainability, and balance. By using a chemical approach, success no longer has to come at cost to your health or relationships. And your leaders and managers will also learn to help their people navigate burnout, exhaustion, and stress. You’ll embrace a transformative action plan that works in the busiest of schedules! 


After this keynote, you and your team will... 

  • Leverage stress as a stimulus for growth, by following it with recovery.

FROM RESIGNATION TO RESILIENCE: Ignite Your Passion & Persistence

Recent events have caused your leaders and employees to question their lives and careers. You’ve lost many valuable people and the ones who haven’t left are not as engaged as they used to be. They’re contemplating what they want – and need – from their work and are ready to consider other opportunities. A clear sense of purpose is essential at all levels - from leaders using it as a guidepost for making critical business decisions, to managers having conversations with teams about how their work is essential to the purpose of the organization, to employees understanding how they spend their days contributes to their sense of purpose. To be fully engaged, employees need to find meaning in their daily work.  


Unfortunately, fewer than half of people say they know their purpose or find meaning and fulfillment in their work. As a result, they’re easily overwhelmed when faced with change, are less resilient to stress, lose confidence and direction, and are less engaged. Research shows that people who are purposeful in their jobs perform better, are more likely to avoid burnout, and are more committed. Not only will your people experience the game-changing discovery of their current purpose, the rich group dialogue that takes place will form a deep sense of connection, understanding and unity. 


After this keynote your team will know... 

  • Why purpose is essential to success professionally and personally. 
  • How a clear sense of purpose improves resilience, performance, engagement, energy, connection, and sense of belonging.  
  • Practices for gaining clarity on their purpose. 
  • How to fully articulate their purpose and realize how it connects to the work they do. 
  • How to keep their purpose front of mind as they make decisions, engage with clients and co-workers, and deal with stressful situations. 
  • Ways to take daily action that are aligned with their purpose, as well as the purpose of your organization.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR CREATING A PURPOSE-DRIVEN LIFE (And How They Can Help You Find An Elephant When Necessary)

Life is full of journeys. But the most important journeys are the ones that lead us to our purpose. Throughout this keynote, I’ll take you on a captivating journey through the deserts of Namibia, where I joined forces with an elephant conservation organization with the purpose of tracking a majestic bull elephant named Porthos. During my work on this project, I began seeing important parallels between our desert quest to track down one specific elephant to our quests to track down our sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in our personal and professional lives. 


PURPOSE IS ESSENTIAL FOR ORGANIZATIONS: Purpose-driven companies make more money, have more engaged employees and more loyal customers, have a culture of trust, experience more growth, and are even better at innovation and transformational change. 


PURPOSE IS ESSENTIAL FOR HUMANS: People who are clear on their purpose are more resilient, confident, and healthy. They also experience better decision-making, emotional regulation, mental health, memory, and energy. 


In this thought-provoking keynote, I’ll teach you 6 powerful strategies I learned working with expert elephant trackers that will forever change the way you approach your own journey. (I’ll also share the wild and unpredictable moments that unfolded during my extraordinary trip.) 


Drawing important parallels between the vast wilderness of Namibia to the landscapes of our own lives and careers, we’ll: 

  • Dive into the secrets of seeing the world through fresh eyes - how to get out of autopilot, our silos, bubbles, and routines to cultivate experiences that inspire innovative ideas, profound thoughts, and powerful emotions. 
  • Highlight the significance of seeking diversity in opinions and perspectives to enrich our search for new ideas and insights. 
  • Learn how to hone our observational skills, embrace our internal guidance systems, and unlock a deeper understanding of our paths both professionally and personally. 
  • Understand how to tap into our courage to follow signs, navigate obstacles, overcome fear, and embrace the unexpected. 
  • Discover how to uncover hidden bits of information, growth opportunities, and how difficulties can serve as powerful fertilizer for personal and professional development. 
  • See how embracing a broader perspective empowers us to make informed decisions and navigate life's challenges with greater clarity. 
  • Answer the ONE question that guarantees clarity, direction, commitment, prioritization, and accountability both inside and outside of work.
