Biography

Jen Slaw believes that a collaborative, engaged, and innovative culture is built on being open to receive new ideas and new ways of doing things…being ready to CATCH what’s coming next! She is on a mission to leave audiences feeling more connected, more capable, and more open to possibility.

A former structural engineer, youth non-profit director, and world record holding expert juggler, Jen enables leaders and teams to build stronger connections, improve engagement, and navigate change with a growth mindset. She is grateful for the opportunity to now share lessons learned from over 20 years of juggling life as a professional entertainer, engineer, artist, and boy mom in her interactive keynotes, workshops & staff training sessions for top companies like American Express, Amsurg Healthcare, Nikon, Deloitte, Con Edison, Genentech, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Skanska, & Turner Construction, empowering her audiences with tools to become more effective jugglers in their own lives and work.

With degrees in both engineering and art, Jen connects with both left and right brained learners as she shares her story of finding balance and transitioning from life as a structural engineer to entertainer, speaker and trainer, roles in which she felt she could have more impact, exercise more creativity, and be more connected to others.

Most of us are juggling more than feels humanly possible, and when an unexpected ball comes at us, it can bring overwhelm and fear. As a cancer thriver, Jen relates to audiences on a deeper level, acknowledging that we are all carrying something, often invisible to our co-workers, and emphasizing the importance of connection and empathy in our interactions. She shares lessons in moving from a place of overwhelm and fear to
one of creative exploration, in asking for help and letting go, and in learning to discern what we are going to catch and what we can release.

Jen has appeared across national media including the Late Show with David Letterman, Good Day Philadelphia, Huffington Post Live and the Food Network, presented at TEDx , won the International Jugglers’ Association’s Award for creativity, and has been called an “expert juggler” by the New York Times. She co-created and co-starred in the Off-Broadway show and Backstage Critic’s Pick, Perfect Catch: A Throw-mantic
Comedy, which was hailed as “the forward guard of an entirely new and captivating approach to the craft.”

Jen served for two years on the board of the National Speakers Association New York City Chapter as Director of Marketing & Communications, and Director of Programming, coordinating other speakers and hosting monthly chapter meetings, honing skills that extend to her emcee work.

She has HUGGLED (her special combination of hugging and juggling!) hundreds of strangers, friends, and celebrities, as a unique way to connect and share moments of presence and joy.

Jen loves getting her audiences up, moving and engaged with each other, taking the learning to a deeper level through physical interaction. Because when we throw and catch together, we build trust, communication, and connection.
