Why Book

Jenny brings a new, much needed conversation to the table, with a unique, fresh perspective. It’s nothing your audience has heard before and they will experience many moments of “a-ha”, and “no one’s ever explained it that way before.”
Jenny makes it easy for audiences to bring what they learned back to work, so your entire organization is moving toward being “On It” more often.
Her energy is infectious and she’s perfect as the opening keynote speaker, the closing keynote, or even that dreaded “after lunch” dead zone (she loves a challenge!)

Resiliency Rx: Stress-Proof Your Brain & Body

The Problem

Stress isn’t going anywhere. Deadlines won’t disappear, your boss won’t suddenly ask for less, and the pace of business isn’t slowing down. Stress is already costing organizations between $300–$500 billion annually in turnover, absenteeism, healthcare, and lost productivity.

The fallout is everywhere: leaders stretched to their breaking point, teams overwhelmed, and top talent quietly heading for the door. Left unchecked, stress hijacks focus, kills performance, and sabotages retention.

The Promise

Jenny Evans flips the script. Stress isn’t just a mindset problem, it’s a chemistry problem. And when you learn how to reset that chemistry, you reclaim control.

In Resiliency Rx, Jenny equips your audience with science-backed Micro Strategies they can use in 60 seconds or less to recover energy, sharpen focus, and perform at their best—without adding one more thing to their already packed plates.

The result? Teams that are more engaged, more resilient, and ready to thrive under relentless pressure.

If your event needs more than a pep talk, this is it.

Resiliency Rx blends science, humor, and real-world storytelling into a keynote that leaves people laughing, learning, and armed with strategies that actually stick.

You can book it as a standalone high-impact keynote or expand into the full 5-part Resiliency Rx Series. Either way, Jenny’s approach delivers immediate, practical wins—simple resets that take your people from feeling OVER IT to ON IT in minutes, with effects that last for months.

📈 Planner ROI: This isn’t just “energy in the room,” it’s measurable change: higher engagement scores, reduced burnout, and a ripple effect of productivity long after your event ends.

Banishing Burnout

The Problem:

Burnout isn’t coming for your organization—it’s already here. Stress is draining productivity, driving turnover, and strangling your bottom line.

Every burned-out employee can cost you $15K+ in turnover.
Burnout drains cultures of energy, engagement, and innovation.
Managers end up stretched too thin while top performers quietly disengage.

The Promise

Jenny Evans flips the script with a chemistry-first approach. Stress doesn’t have to destroy your people or your profits—when you know how to reset it, stress actually becomes fuel for growth.

In Banishing Burnout, Jenny equips your audience with science-backed Micro Strategies that recharge energy, expand capacity, and deliver performance without sacrificing wellbeing. This isn’t just motivation—it’s measurable change.

Keynote Overview

This isn’t your typical “self-care” talk. Jenny combines exercise physiology, performance psychology, and practical Micro Strategies into a dynamic keynote that leaves audiences laughing, learning, and ready to act.

Attendees discover how to:

Reset their chemistry in minutes
Build energy habits that stick
Create a personalized action plan they’ll actually follow—even during peak-demand seasons

Planner ROI: Your audience doesn’t just feel inspired in the room—they leave with tools that improve engagement and focus the very next day. That means rave reviews for your event, higher retention, and a culture that performs.

Key Takeaways:

After this keynote, your audience will be able to:

Turn stress into a stimulus for growth instead of a drain
Expand their capacity in healthy, sustainable ways
Identify what qualifies as “high-quality recovery” (physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually)
Balance demands with renewable energy supplies
Walk away with a personalized plan to sustain performance without burning out

The result? Teams are stuck in survival mode while your best talent walks out the door.

Guiding Principles for Creating a Purpose-Driven Life

The Problem:

Burnout isn’t always about too much work. More often, it’s about working without a why.

This is the silent saboteur inside your workforce: talented people burning out not because they’re overworked, but because they’re under-purposed. When meaning disappears, even routine challenges trigger the body’s stress chemistry—draining focus, motivation, and resilience. The result? Teams that are physically present but mentally checked out.

Purpose is the engine that turns effort into energy. Without it, every obstacle feels heavier, every task feels harder, and even success feels hollow. No amount of PTO can fix a lack of purpose—and no organization can thrive when its people are running on empty.

The Promise:

The fix isn’t fewer hours, it’s a deeper sense of meaning. When people understand how their daily work connects to something bigger than themselves, stress transforms from friction into fuel. Same pressure, completely different chemistry. Same challenges, dramatically different outcomes.

In this keynote, Jenny takes audiences on an extraordinary journey to the vast Namibian desert, where she trained alongside legendary elephant trackers and learned six crucial principles that hold the keys to finding anything—including your true purpose.

The takeaways are practical, powerful, science-backed, and immediately actionable, helping your people reconnect to purpose, reset their chemistry, and show up at their best.

Keynote Overview

Purpose-driven people don’t just feel better, they perform better, and they become more profitable employees. Research shows they’re more resilient under stress, more innovative, more profitable, and more engaged. Purpose-driven organizations? They retain top talent, fuel growth, and create cultures people want to be part of.

This isn’t theory. It’s science…and a little safari. Through stunning visuals and laugh-out-loud storytelling, Jenny connects the dots between tracking elephants in Namibia and tracking down your own sense of purpose at work.

The message is clear: purpose isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. And it’s easier to find than most people think.

Planner ROI: Your audience doesn’t just leave inspired, they leave with sticky tools that reignite engagement, drive better decisions, and boost event ratings.

Key Takeaways

After this keynote, your audience will be able to:

Reconnect to their sense of purpose and reignite passion for excellence.
Understand why purpose is the single most powerful buffer against stress and burnout.
Apply six principles of purpose-driven living at work and in life.
Make clearer, more confident decisions under pressure.
Leave energized, resilient, and equipped to create impact with meaning.

Performance on Purpose: Igniting Unstoppable Energy

The Problem

We’ve moved from people actually leaving (Great Resignation) to doing the minimum (quiet quitting) to now actively suffering while staying (quiet cracking, resentment). It’s a progression from active to passive resistance to internal breakdown.

Employees show up but don’t engage. They perform but don’t excel. They stay but don’t thrive. Disengagement, burnout, and turnover aren’t random; they’re the symptoms of a deeper disease: work that feels meaningless.

What this makes clear is that people don’t quit jobs; they quit when work loses meaning.

The Promise

Jenny Evans transforms purpose-starved employees back into engaged, energized performers. Using science-backed tools and powerful storytelling, she gives audiences a framework to break through disengagement, reconnect to what matters, and turn work into fuel instead of a drain.

When people find meaning in their work, their brains release dopamine and endorphins—neurochemicals that increase focus, motivation, and resilience.

The result? Teams that are energized, leaders that are more confident, and organizations that retain and inspire their best people.

Keynote Overview

Purpose isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a scientifically proven buffer against stress, burnout, and turnover. Employees who feel purposeful perform better, are more resilient, and stay longer.

In this keynote, Jenny delivers both the aha! of rediscovering purpose and the practical strategies to live it every day. She weaves together neuroscience, psychology, and interactive exercises to make purpose the competitive advantage your organization needs.

Planner ROI: Teams leave re-engaged, leaders leave with a clear framework, and you leave with higher event ratings and results that show up back at work.

Key Takeaways:

Why purpose is essential to success professionally and personally.
How a clear sense of purpose improves resilience, performance, engagement, energy, connection, and sense of belonging.
Practices for gaining clarity on their purpose.
How to fully articulate their purpose and connect it to the work they do each day.
How to keep their purpose front of mind as they make decisions, engage with clients and co-workers, and deal with stressful situations.
Ways to take daily action that are aligned with their purpose, as well as the purpose of your organization.

The Chemistry of Confidence & Resilience for Female Leaders

The Problem

Organizations everywhere face three critical challenges with women in leadership:

Getting Women to the Top

Only 1 in 5 senior executives is a woman.
And here’s the kicker: just 40% of women aspire to the C-suite, not because they can’t do it, but because they see the climb as steeper, the scrutiny as harsher, and the work-life tradeoffs as heavier.
Even worse? 61% of women check the organization’s leadership diversity before they ever apply. If they don’t see a path forward, your future talent pipeline may never even knock on the door.

Keeping Women at the Top

Women leaders are burning out, fast. They’re carrying the weight of the office, the home, and caregiving roles.
When they leave, it’s costly: up to 200% of their annual salary to replace them, with an average of 42 days to fill the role.
That’s not just attrition, it’s a drain on your culture, your budget, and your momentum as companies with gender diverse executive teams are 25% more likely to have above-average profitability

Supporting Women at the Top

35% of senior women report being the only female in the room, isolated, under a microscope, and constantly proving they belong.
“Onlys” are 2x more likely to be questioned on competence and 3x more likely to be mistaken for someone junior.
They don’t leave because they can’t lead, they leave because the environment makes it unbearable.

The Result?

It’s no wonder 42% of professional women report being burned out, and 1 in 3 are considering stepping back or leaving entirely. This “She-cession” is draining companies of top talent, leadership potential, and innovation.

The Promise

Jenny Evans helps female leaders reset their chemistry, reclaim their energy, and rebuild confidence. With science, humor, and practical Micro Strategies, she equips women with tools they can use immediately to thrive in demanding roles, without burning out.

The result? Women who feel energized, confident, and resilient, and organizations that retain, grow, and showcase their female leadership talent.

Confidence isn’t just mindset, it’s also chemistry. In this keynote, Jenny shows how biology, psychology, and daily practices combine to sustain energy, confidence, and resilience.

Through relatable science, engaging storytelling, and actionable Micro Strategies, women leaders learn how to align with their values, reset their energy, and show up with confidence that sticks.

Planner ROI:You don’t just inspire your women leaders, you equip them to thrive long-term. That means higher engagement, stronger leadership pipelines, better retention, and event feedback that proves the impact.

Key Takeaways:

After this keynote, your audience will be able to:

Strengthen confidence by aligning daily choices with purpose and values.
Use science-backed recovery strategies to prevent burnout.
Reset energy and resilience in 60 seconds or less with Micro Strategies.
Break the cycle of overwork and self-neglect with personalized action plans.
Lead with confidence that drives individual success and organizational performance.

Energy for Resilience

The Problem

The demands on your people keep rising. Their energy? Not so much. Burnout, absenteeism, and exhaustion are quietly bleeding your organization of productivity and potential. Leaders are stretched thin. Sales teams are running on fumes. And when energy tanks, so does performance.

The Promise

Jenny Evans shows your audience how to supercharge their internal energy chemistry—increasing, fortifying, and recovering energy on demand. Instead of white-knuckling through nonstop pressure, they’ll walk away with practical Micro Strategies to recharge quickly, perform consistently, and sustain high performance long-term.

Keynote Overview

Energy isn’t optional; it’s the foundation of everything. Without it, nothing happens.

In this keynote, Jenny blends humor, science, and her signature Micro Strategies to show audiences how to fuel their body and brain in ways that are:

Quick (most take 60 seconds or less)
Sustainable (not another system that fizzles by Thursday)
Actually usable (because no one needs another to-do list)

Your people leave energized, inspired, and equipped with tools they’ll still be using months later.

Planner ROI: This isn’t just inspiration. It’s real, science-backed shifts in energy management that boost productivity, engagement, and retention long after your event ends.

Key Takeaways:

After this keynote, your audience will be able to:

Increase daily energy with simple fueling strategies for both body and brain.
Fortify resilience with movement tactics that fit into any schedule.
Recover faster with proven sleep and reset strategies that recharge mind + body.
Build repeatable energy rituals that sustain performance under pressure.
Leave with a personal energy plan that keeps them out of the burnout cycle.

Jenny Evans Reviews

“Jenny was AMAZING. Seriously, I’m a tough grader and Jenny couldn’t have been better. I now have a new bar for what “no dip in energy” looks like over the course of a 5-hour session! So impressed. I can’t tell you how many people approached me after the session inspired by what they heard and saw. Thanks so much!”

— General Manager, Microsoft

“Jenny Evans spoke at our conference and was so impactful and powerful to a large group of high-energy, over-achieving sales executives. It was a tremendous investment in our team by someone they could relate to. Jenny has a special way (I am quite sure because she prepares well) to relate and connect to her audience. That makes the message resonate more! She is inspiring and exciting to be with. She was also very engaging in a follow-up conference call to the team initiated by Jenny to see of the commitment to better choices was sticking. I endorse her 1,000%.”

— Regional Vice President, Estée Lauder, Inc.

“Jenny was a fantastic speaker that not only has energy, emotion and tons of knowledge behind the topics she covers, but she really makes you think about your health, lifestyle and everyday routine that can be so easily influenced positively or negatively. In a world of change, enhanced technology and never-ending demands and challenges of everyday life, she has a great way of breaking down why you make the choices you do and how to fight your inner Sneaky Pete. Everyone really enjoyed Jenny, including myself, and I have made several changes to my everyday decisions based on hearing her speak!”

— Account Manager, Nestle Purina Petcare Company

“Jenny was outstanding! Everyone loved her message as well as her presentation style. Once people saw the agenda, there were lots of moans and concerns over a three hour speaker as we usually limit speakers to one hour. Jenny held 230 attendee’s attention the entire time. She was a perfect blend of being passionate, intense, funny and crystal clear with delivery. I can’t tell you how many people came up to all of us thanking us for the “gift” to them personally that Jenny’s presentation represented. People used words like “life changing”, “powerful”, “perfect timing”, “just what I needed” and “she’s a rock star”. Honestly, we all think she’s the best speaker we’ve ever had at our annual meeting!”

— President and COO, Kimpton Hotel and Restaurant Group

“In the past year, AT&T University has been recognized multiple times by national publications for our excellence in Executive Development. Jenny Evans played no small role in this success. Incorporating Jenny into our flagship program, Leading with Distinction, raised our game in a way we couldn’t have anticipated. There are so many things out of our control in our environment right now, and her message was just what our leaders needed. Jenny provided an opportunity for them to stop moving at break-neck speed for an entire afternoon and really concentrate on what was important in their lives. Over the course of six months, Jenny stood in front of more than 3,500 executives at AT&T for four hours at a time. Her obvious passion around the material and her genuine concern for the participants in the room created a tidal wave of action at this great company. This response was consistent from coast to coast in the United States and didn’t skip a beat when we took the program to London and Hong Kong. We could not be more proud to call Jenny Evans our friend and our trusted partner. She has changed our culture for the better and we are forever grateful.”

— Director of Executive Development, AT&T

“I selected Jenny Evans to work with the entire Clinique North American Sales and Education executives. Though we were fortunate to work with a number of outstanding outside consultants, Jenny was one of the special few who made a lasting impression and directly contributed to the health and productivity of our team.

As someone who specializes in adult education methods and talent development, I was impressed not only with Jenny’s level of expertise, but also with her ability to deliver a compelling message in an always engaging, respectful and positive manner. Jenny’s strategies work. Best of all, based on Jenny’s contribution, many executives reported positive long-term benefits after working with Jenny: decreased levels of stress, higher levels of energy and even healthy and lasting weight loss.

Jenny is a powerful role model who “walks the walk” as she balances a challenging career and the demands of home, family and community. She truly was an inspiration to our field both during the time we worked with her and long after.

Based on my experiences, I would not hesitate to recommend Jenny to any organization that wants to boost the performance, health and fitness of every individual on their team.”

— Vice President Education, North America, Clinique
