KEYNOTE:
Performance on Purpose: Igniting Unstoppable Energy
Reignite passion and purpose at work so your people don’t just show up, they step up.
Audience: Leaders  |  Managers  |  Employees  |  Organizations Facing Turnover
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.Â
Â
When purpose disappears, even your top talent slips into average. And average doesn’t win in today’s market.
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.
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.
