Jill's Highly Requested Keynotes
Keynote 1: Being Brave Self-Leadership
Description:
True bravery begins within. Leading yourself requires the courage to confront your fears, challenge self-doubt, and take meaningful action toward your goals—even when the path is difficult.
Too often, we fall into the trap of seeking comfort and avoiding the discomfort of challenges. This pursuit of ease may feel safe, but it keeps us stuck—far from the growth, achievement, and fulfillment we crave. Many people struggle to overcome the mental barriers that keep them stuck: limiting beliefs, procrastination, fear of failure, and uncertainty. They hesitate to embrace ambitious goals, take bold action, or build the relationships they need to succeed. These inner obstacles lead to stagnation, regret, and unrealized potential.
Through powerful stories, scientific insights, and actionable strategies from Jill’s Be Brave Model, this keynote inspires individuals to embrace Brave Self-Leadership, helping them break through self-imposed limits to create lives of achievement and fulfillment.
Keynote 2: Change Your Mindset, Change Your Impact
Description:
True transformation—and true freedom—begins in the mind. When we proactively master ourselves, we unlock the ability to achieve bold goals, strengthen resilience, and create lasting impact. A Brave Mindset equips individuals with the tools to embrace challenges, reframe stress, and take charge of their inner dialogue—all while leveraging the contagious power of positivity to inspire results.
Organizations often invest in technical skills but overlook a critical factor: empowering employees to strengthen their mindset. Developing a Brave Mindset isn’t just reactive; it’s about proactively building the mental strength and emotional agility to thrive in any environment. When individuals take ownership of their mindset, the results ripple across teams, driving performance, innovation, and well-being.
If you have a brain, you have the power to do the work—to reframe your thinking, push limits, and become the best version of yourself. This keynote inspires individuals to embrace the science of mindset mastery to think courageously, act boldly, and achieve greatness.
Keynote 3: Courageous Connections: The Key to Accelerating Your Impact
Description:
True success requires the courage to build trusting relationships. Brave relationships are the foundation of collaboration, innovation, and growth—whether in careers or organizations.
Too often, people fall into isolation, fearing vulnerability, rejection, or asking for help. This keeps them from forming meaningful connections that drive success. Without strong relationships, teams turn into silos, leaders lose influence, and opportunities are missed.
Building Brave Relationships means curating a Brave Tribe—seeking those who can help you grow and stepping beyond your current circle. It takes courage to ask for advice and support, but people enjoy helping when approached authentically.
Equally essential are Brave Conversations—addressing challenges, giving feedback, and realigning expectations. These moments of courage strengthen trust and propel growth.
Through inspiring stories, research-backed insights, and actionable strategies from Jill’s Be Brave Model, this keynote empowers audiences to build Brave Relationships, helping them foster trust, collaboration, and mutual support to achieve their biggest goals.
