Many of our advisory relationships begin after a keynote. A CEO hears the framework, recognizes their own company in the examples, and reaches out to go deeper. If your event includes CEOs who are actively scaling, preparing for exit, or navigating post-acquisition integration — these are the audiences Jane resonates with.

Most Requested Topics

01 The Growing Pains of Success Navigating the Road to a Sustainable, Scalable Business

Your business is growing — and it’s starting to break under the weight of that growth. Managers overwhelmed, roles fuzzy, EBITDA squeezed despite strong top-line. This keynote gives leaders a clear roadmap for what’s actually happening as they scale and what to do about it.

 

Takeaways: Why “communication problems” are really operating model problems. The invisible milestones where organizations hit turbulence. Practical plays to reduce chaos and protect margin.

 

Best For: CEO forums, executive offsites, PE portfolio gatherings.

01 Navigating Change Leading People Through the Messy Middle

Growth, restructuring, M&A — none of it works if your people don’t come through the change with you. This keynote focuses on the human side of structural change: the emotional load on teams when roles, structure, and expectations shift.

 

Takeaways: The three stages people move through after change is announced. How to communicate when you don’t have all the answers. The leadership behaviors that build trust and keep people moving.

 

Best For: Executives and managers leading teams through growth, reorgs, or integration.

01 Keeping the People You Can’t Afford to Lose Talent Retention in a Permanent Labor Crunch

Retention isn’t an HR initiative — it’s a leadership and operating model issue. This keynote covers the structural drivers of turnover that go beyond pay and perks: role design, decision load, manager span, and growth paths.

 

Takeaways: The few levers that actually move engagement in ops-heavy mid-market businesses. How unclear priorities and fuzzy roles quietly push great people out. Adjustments leaders can make immediately.

 

Best For: Executive teams and line managers in high-pressure environments where replacing key talent is expensive and slow.
