Keynotes

Keynote by speaker Jess Ekstrom: Chasing the Bright Side: Purpose-Driven Thinking leads to Unstoppable Growth

This keynote is perfect for: workplace engagement, overcoming burnout, adapting a more positive mindset at work, employee retention, increasing fulfillment, navigating change and hardships, startup struggles and culture building.

Nowadays, it’s so easy to get warped into negative thoughts and constantly feeling like you’re moving from problem to problem.

A recent study at the American Academy of Neurology found that prolonged negative thinking diminishes your brain’s ability to think or reason clearly and it quickly drains your energy.

You’d think the solution to negativity would be to tell yourself to “just be positive!” but we all know that doesn’t trick your brain, it only frustrates it.

Audience takeaways:

Finding the overlap between passion and profit

How to turn setbacks into comebacks

Why optimism is the key to positive growth

A better future starts with a brighter mindset

Keynote by speaker Jess Ekstrom: MEANINGFUL WORK: HOW TO BE FULFILLED...RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE

This keynote is perfect for: purpose building, audiences seeking fulfillment, hitting goals + targets, improve retention rates, improving connections to customers/clients, recentering your career to remember why you started.

Let’s get one thing straight: meaningful work is not assigned to you, it’s created by you.

Most of the time we believe that in order to do something meaningful, we have to do something else: live somewhere else, work somewhere else, do something else, be someone else.

But what if we didn’t have to change our circumstance to do something meaningful, but changed our mindset around it?

Audience takeaways:

Fulfillment is not a destination we hit one day, but a choice to how we live today

It’s not about the task, but what you make the task mean

Develop an entrepreneurial mindset to increase your agility and handle what's thrown your way

Learn what is success (purpose) and what is achievement (reward)

Keynote by speaker Jess Ekstrom: THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID: POWERING OUR INNER DIALOGUE SO WE CAN LEAD THE WAY

The perfect keynote option for any women’s group or women-focused event!

There was a study that asked men and women in their last moments of life what they regretted.

Women said, “I cared too much about what others thought of me.”

Men said, “I worked too hard.”

In other words, women had regrets over their thoughts and perception…men didn’t.

Whether or not we recognize it or hear it, we have this voice in our head: the voice in our head that tells us we’re not ready. The voice in our head that makes our failures louder than our wins. The voice in our head that compares us to the woman beside us. The voice in our head that tells us someday, but not today.

So what happens when we change the story?

Audience takeaways:

Recognizing the voice in our head and what it tells us

Learning that confidence is a voice, not a skill

The path to leadership begins with giving more airtime to our inner cheerleader than our inner critic

Understanding that we are always in control of our story
