Energetic, Dazzling, Electrifying Speaker

Book Jen Glantz to Speak at Your Next Event in Person or Virtually

LEt's CHAT

I have a reputation you should know about before you get to know me.

I’ve spoken to rooms of people all over the world, from employees at Google, Apple, and WeWork to MBA students at the Wharton School of Business, and here’s the truth: 

They don’t want to listen to a speaker who will waste their time. Not in a world where push notifications are constantly flirting with our attention spans.
 
They want a speaker who will understand who they are, guide them, and solve the problems that they have.
People matter. They matter so much. People who are energized, fueled with knowledge, and eager to change have the power to transform businesses and the world. 
 
That’s what pulses in my mind before I step in front of any audience, whether in person or virtually, and use our time together to teach and inspire. 

I've spoken at:

Most people in an audience are asking themselves one simple thing: what’s in it for me?

Every talk I give carries that answer from the start to the finish line.

I speak to people quite often, whether it’s a company workshop, conference keynote, or team retreat. In the past 8 years of my professional speaking career, I’ve been in front of over 50,000 people. But no presentation is ever the same. It can’t be.

That’s why I spend quality time collaborating with the event organizer to understand the program’s objectives and then fully immerse myself with an understanding of who will be in the room.

One more big thing to know about me is that I have a zero yawn guarantee (even if there's no coffee in the room). I bring contagious energy, humor that lends to learning, and engaging activities that get people moving and thinking.

When your audience leaves the room, they'll feel different than when they entered.

They'll feel like they matter, and they'll feel equipped and energized to move forward in their careers and their lives.
 
I’d love to talk about how we can work together for your next event, conference, or team training.

DOWNLOAD MY SPEAKER BIO

hey there

I’ve spoken to a lot of people in my 8+ year career as a professional speaker. From auditoriums of business professionals to college students, from conference rooms for team training to video conference rooms for virtual retreats.

I speak on a wide range of professional development topics from public speaking and storytelling to imposter syndrome and communication in the workplace. My keynote talks range from personal branding to handling rejection, from how I started a viral company from a Craigslist ad to how to brainstorm and act on out-of-the-box ideas.

There are a lot of speakers out there, but what makes me different is my contagious energy, electrifying content, and actionable advice. It’s never Jen vs. the audience. It’s Jen + the audience = an unforgettable time that’ll light up the conversation in the Slack channel after.

"JEN, YOU WERE CLEARLY MADE FOR THIS AND REALLY SET THE BAR HIGH FOR OUR FUTURE GUEST SPEAKERS. I RECEIVED SLACK MESSAGES AFTER FROM THE TEAM ABOUT HOW WE WEREN’T ABLE TO WORK/MULTI-TASK CAUSE THEY WERE SO ENGAGED BY YOU."

“She knows how to captivate an audience within seconds, be relatable and keep them inspired.”

Jen is a breath of fresh air! Her lively personality and style of coaching was exactly what the team needed to become better, confident speakers. She knows how to captivate an audience within seconds, be relatable, and keep them inspired throughout the workshop. I know I will be using these techniques throughout my career and even in my personal life. Can’t recommend Jen enough!

Ron Berman, Assistant Professor of Marketing

The Wharton School

“This was awesome and the best speaker I’ve met in all my classes.”

Jen is a rock star. After her lecture, I often get three types of responses: ‘This was awesome and the best speaker I’ve met in all my classes,’ ‘The information she provided is so valuable, finally a speaker that gives us a very tangible and useful set of tools we can use tomorrow,’ and ‘How did you find her? She’s amazing!’ I wish I received such feedback for my own lectures . . . we always have a warm place at Wharton for Jen’s talks and workshops, and the content she prepares is extremely appreciated by the students.

“In a world of online learning, Jen sets herself apart by being engaging and smart”

Jen’s relevant content and highly energized presentation style make her the perfect workshop leader. She simplifies the information and removes the intimidation factor. We keep adding new themes for her to tackle, and she does it with ease while keeping each class entertaining. Jen is fantastic, and in a world of online learning, she sets herself apart by being engaging and smart.

Speaker Reel

Here’s What It’s Like to Work With Me

Jen has led several communication workshops for WITHIN and has added so much value to our training programs. We were looking for workshops that were fun and engaging—not your typical stuffy, corporate training—and Jen delivered! She brings humor and warmth to every session, while sharing invaluable tips and tricks that our employees can apply straightaway to their everyday jobs. Jen is an expert at what she does, and I couldn't recommend her enough!– Charmaine Hui, Within

"It was fun, funny and engaging—but also super useful. By far one of the best sessions I've been a part of in my professional career.– Stephen D., Google

Jen's workshops have been such a valuable addition to our leadership programs at Adelphi University. Jen has facilitated three workshops for us, both in person and virtually, and her energy and enthusiasm are unmatched! She is able to pack so much valuable content into her workshops without overwhelming or boring the audience (I don't think boring is in her DNA). As an educator, I especially love that our students always leave Jen's workshops with tangible strategies to aid in their own personal and professional development. She's super prepared and does all the heavy lifting, which always makes my life easier! We can't wait to bring her back to Adelphi.– Athena Bressck, Assistant Director, Adelphi University Center for Student Involvement

“Jen took an interest in each participant individually! The team left energized to apply Jen’s coaching and tools to both their professional and personal lives. Jen’s spirit is infectious.” -Kathy and Laura, Guardian Life Insurance
