I have one job on any stage.

To make sure every person in the room leaves knowing exactly where their power is and what to do with it…

I have done that for rooms of teenagers and rooms of CEOs. For boardrooms and
community centers and commencement stages. The message is the same in every one
of them. The receipts are real. And the framework is built for what happens after the
applause stops.

 
 

THE SHIFT THAT HAPPENS IN THE ROOM

Overlooked becomes Activated

The best keynotes do not just inspire. They give people language they did not have before. A framework they can return to. A way of seeing a problem they could not unsee afterward.

Every talk Jil delivers is built on the Untapped Framework: five sources of untapped power and five gaps that keep organizations from using it. It is not theory. It is a model built from 20 years of doing this work in real rooms with real stakes.

People leave knowing what was overlooked. They leave knowing what to do about it.
That is the transformation.

 

SIGNATURE TALKS

Three talks. One framework. Built for the room you’re in.

Untapped: Find the Power. Use It.

The most dangerous person in any room is the one nobody saw coming. This talk is for them.

For individuals, communities, and organizations ready to name what has been overlooked and
activate it. This keynote moves people from seen to equipped. Format: 45 to 60 minutes.
Workshop available.

 

Operational Purpose: Closing the Five Gaps

Purpose without operations is just a press release. This talk shows organizations what it looks
like when it runs through the building.

For executive teams and senior leaders ready to move from values on the wall to values in the
work. This keynote equips organizations with a diagnostic framework they can apply immediately.
Format: 45 to 60 minutes. Executive workshop available.

 

Access, Belonging, and the Future of the Outdoor Industry

The outdoors has historically belonged to some people more than others. This talk is about
changing that, and why the industry that ignores this will lose the next decade.

For outdoor, recreation, and corporate audiences ready to have an honest conversation about who
the outdoors belongs to and what it will take to change that. Format: 30 to 45 minutes keynote or panel anchor.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

Every engagement, built to last.

Jil does not deliver the same talk twice. Every engagement begins with a conversation
about your audience, your goals, and the specific transformation you are looking for.
The framework is consistent. The application is always yours.

Before the Event
Pre-event consultation to understand the audience and the outcome you need.
Custom framing of the talk to your organization’s specific context and challenges. Review of any
background materials, culture documentation, or relevant data you want incorporated.

The Event
A keynote that does not just inspire but equips. The audience leaves with a named
framework, a set of diagnostic questions, and a specific understanding of where their
untapped power is. Jil is available for a post-session Q and A and can meet with

leadership before or after the event.

After the Event
Follow-up resources for event coordinators who want to extend the experience.
Workshop and consulting options for organizations ready to go deeper. Resources for
audiences who want to continue working with the framework.

 

WHAT EVENT PROFESSIONALS SAY

“Jil brought a perspective and a framework that our team is still applying. She didn’t just
speak to the room. She changed how the room thinks.”

Event Coordinator // Michelin North America Leadership Conference

 

“Every year we bring in a keynote speaker for our leadership summit. This was the first
year I had multiple people stop me in the hallway the next day to say: when is she coming back?”

Director of Learning and Development // Wofford College

 

“Substantive, personal, and immediately actionable. That combination is rarer than it
should be. Jil delivered all three.”

Program Director // Stennis Center for Public Service
