The Problem:
Burnout isnât always about too much work. More often, itâs about working without a why.
This is the silent saboteur inside your workforce: talented people burning out not because theyâre overworked, but because theyâre under-purposed. Without meaning, even routine challenges trigger the bodyâs fight-or-flight chemistry, leaving people disengaged, drained, and questioning whether the struggle is worth it. No amount of PTO can fix a lack of purpose.
The Promise:
The fix isnât fewer hours, itâs 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 anythingâincluding 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 donât just feel better, they perform better. Research shows theyâre more resilient under stress, more innovative, and more engaged. Purpose-driven organizations? They retain top talent, fuel growth, and create cultures people want to be part of.
This isnât theory. Itâs scienceâŚand 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 isnât a luxury, itâs a necessity. And itâs easier to find than most people think.
Planner ROI: Your audience doesnât just leave inspired, they leave with sticky tools that reignite engagement, drive better decisions, and boost event ratings.
