Get Shift Done

The “Get Shift Done” keynote delivers Jennifer’s signature message for educators everywhere:

You can mold your mind to rock your job.

This keynote is designed specifically for the problem of overwhelm. With teachers showing the highest burnout rate among all U.S. professions, school leaders can’t ignore the overwhelm problem.

And they need more than hope and promises to fix it.

They need strategies and steps.

Jennifer has them. And with this interactive keynote, she gives them to you.

With Jenn’s guidance and research, plus her trademark stories and wit, your team will learn how to use free resources—their hearts and minds—to conquer overwhelm.

They’ll learn to deploy the capabilities within themselves to balance their current workloads, reign over the ones to come, and keep their light shining for your students and your district.
