Leadership Isn't a Script:
Leading with Intention in an Unpredictable World
Leadership doesn't come with a script. The plan changes. People surprise you. Priorities shift. And the leadership approach that worked yesterday may not work tomorrow.
Drawing on her experience in leadership development, coaching, & even her years in theater, Jen helps leaders identify the anchors that keep them grounded across three critical areas: Work, Self, & Team. This keynote gives leaders a practical way to navigate uncertainty, make intentional choices, & adapt how they lead without losing sight of what matters most.
Key Outcomes:
-
Identify the Work, Self, & Team anchors that guide intentional leadership
-
Adapt your approach when circumstances, priorities, or people change
-
Use curiosity & intentional action to navigate leadership challenges with greater confidence
Can We Just Be Adults?:
What It Means to Be Human at Work

Jen challenges leaders to rethink the tension between humanity and business, showing that curiosity, empathy, & accountability don't have to be competing priorities. This keynote explores what it really means to lead humans while still getting results.
Key Outcomes:
-
Navigate emotions & difficult workplace dynamics with greater curiosity
-
Balance empathy and humanity with clarity & accountability
-
Strengthen relationships by understanding the human experience behind workplace behavior

-
Prioritize work based on impact, alignment, & responsibility
-
Reduce overwhelm by using simple tools to evaluate commitments & make clearer decisions

Director, Foundation
"Jen worked with a group of volunteer leaders from the Junior League of Denver and put together a fantastic workshop! Many of our leaders shared that it was one of the best trainings they ever attended and took away strong action plans that they can implement with their committees.
Jen took time to thoughtfully understand and plan this training and what was important for our organization to cover. She understood where we are and what goals we set forward for the year and tailored her training to meet our needs. Her communication leading up to the event was great and worked with us on some unique needs."

Jen didn’t just teach us about learning—she modeled it every day. Whether facilitating team workshops, coaching individuals, or leading large-scale organizational initiatives, she had an uncanny ability to make people feel both challenged and supported. Her work left a lasting legacy, fostering a workplace culture that values growth, collaboration, and continuous improvement."

"Jen is an incredible facilitator. I asked Jen to come in and help our board with our day long strategic planning session. She was efficient in her needs analysis and planned a strategic and balanced day that included connection, reflection of our past year and what we hoped to achieve in 2025.
She helped us create a clear plan for the year and designed activities where all voices and ideas could be heard. Jen is a strategic partner, and facilitator and I would highly recommend her services to other groups! Thank you for sharing your time and talents with the ATD Rocky Mountain chapter!"
