“Jennifer’s speaking style is engaging and dynamic, and her message transcends all professions and stages in careers.” 


Helping others be their best, personally and professionally.

 
Being your best.I’ve learned that there are some general keys to success that resonate across professions. From being prepared to networking organically, let’s talk about how to be your best and authentic self. Why? So you can realize your potential…

Being yourself.

When I walked away from my dream job, I didn’t have the word “authenticity” in my vocabulary, but later realized it was the key to personal and professional success. Embrace your true self to realize your potential in your current role or get ready for a change.

Getting it done.It’s no secret that it’s tough to keep it together. Whether you feel out of sorts because you are overworked or trying to keep it together as a working mom, let’s talk about how to get organized, manage your time, and prioritize.

Being productive without the burnout.

I’ve been there: overworked, burnt out, and can’t say no. Let’s talk about how to stay productive without exhausting yourself — so you are at your best at home and at work — and how to say no by saying yes to yourself.

Slowing down. After spending over a decade in a hectic career, I learned that wellness is a must for personal and professional success. I’ve picked up some practical tips on slowing down, enjoying your life, and avoiding letting work consume you.

Being intentional.

As a recovering perfectionist and Type A overachiever, I know it’s hard to slow down and there’s never enough time to get it all done. Let’s talk about priorities and how to identify them.

After a two-decade quest to achieve a professional goal — and grasping that brass ring — it hit me that I wasn’t happy. The disconnect between that dream and reality was disheartening, frustrating, and scary. It took me 2.5 years to find the strength and courage to walk away, but I have never looked back. I was lucky to find a position that is challenging, fun, and uses my skill set in a different way.

I didn’t have the word to explain why I left at that time, but I’ve since learned it was authenticity. Once I figured that out, I created JMT Speaks so I’d have a platform to share with the world the lessons I learned when I lost the plan and found myself.

I realized in changing gears in my career that the skill set I needed to achieve that goal is one that translates across professions. Sharing what I learned about finding and embracing your true self, quieting the imposter voice, extinguishing burnout, and becoming an effective communication translates across professions and resonates with diverse audience.

I am also pleased to help you share your message or call to action. Let’s “level up” your next presentation, ditch the stage fright, and work together to bring our your best self as a speaker
