Jenn Donahue Speaking Topics
Success results from a high level of unity within the organization. Yet in a society where individualism is sought after and highly valued, the two concepts appear to be at odds with each other. The world has evolved, and many leaders are battling to create coherent teams with a common objective. With 27 years of leading teams from 4 to 1800, from the boardroom and even on the battlefield, Jenn has learned the evolving nature of leadership to foster flexibility, resilience, and a forward-thinking approach. With her three-component approach, she delves into the core elements of contemporary leadership to discover how these elements can shape success.

You’re stuck. We all have passion-fueled dreams that may seem too bold or too risky. We are continually challenged to meet goals, either for our organization, or in our personal life. However, we often feel that our goals and dreams are out of reach, that we are not ready, we don’t have the time, or maybe we’re just not good enough.

- Assess the benefits of pushing through the obstacles that stand in your team’s way.
Technological advancements, economic shifts, global events, and evolving workforce expectations have changed today’s business world. Are you getting left behind? As leaders, many of us are struggling with strategic alignment, managing change, communication issues, and employee engagement. The world has evolved, and effective leadership demands a fresh perspective and adaptable strategies. With her three-element approach, developed through scientific research and personal experiences, she provides the audience with the keys to retain, grow and inspire your workforce. Her story-driven approach underscores the importance of trust, and what’s needed to create loyal, dedicated, and motivated teams.
Key Objectives:
