Popular Speaking Topics:
Better Thinking Leads to Better Leadership: Why leadership is more than a set of skills. Discover how judgment, leadership identity, and decision-making shape the leaders people choose to follow.
The Leadership Shift: The leadership model that built your success won't build your next chapter. Learn how to evolve from doing the work to leading with greater influence, clarity, and strategic thinking.
Lead the Ask: A fresh approach to negotiation rooted in leadership identity, confidence, and self-advocacy. Learn how to anchor internally before you ever discuss salary, scope, resources, or opportunity.
Better Thinking in the Age of AI: AI should extend your thinking, not replace it. Explore how leaders can use AI as a thought partner while strengthening the uniquely human capabilities that matter most: judgment, discernment, and strategic decision-making.
Leadership Steadiness: Pressure is part of leadership. Learn how to lead yourself first by building the steadiness, perspective, and decision-making capability needed to navigate uncertainty with confidence.

"Jill hosted a series of Gallup CliftonStrengths workshops for our teams. She brought high-level strategy, plus individual and group coaching, that people are still discussing today. Jill is organized, adaptable, and, most importantly, incredibly attuned to the needs of each individual. This has contributed positively to team morale, management understanding of their direct reports, and high-level team growth. Looking forward to having her back for additional in-depth coaching for our teams. Truly cannot recommend her enough."

"We hired Jill as the keynote speaker during Disability Awareness Month to speak about Invisible Disability. Jill is a dynamic and relatable speaker who helped our audience understand the impact of invisible disabilities on the individual, the co-worker, and our company and what we can all do to create a more inclusive environment. The feedback from attendees was phenomenal. The audience was engaged, laughed, asked many questions, and was moved by Jill’s story. I highly recommend having Jill speak at your organization."
