THIS COACHING PROGRAM IS CAPPED AT 15 MEMBERS
Have you ever said or felt these things?
I have so many ideas and the inspiration is pouring out of me - how do I decide what is right for the TEDx stage?
I am meant to go next level. I have influence, but now what? I need to use it.
Why is it so hard to land a TEDx talk? I have applied and I can’t seem to crack the code.
I know I have a killer talk in me - but damn I’m scared to take the next step - it feels sooo hard.
People tell me I should be on stages, but how do you create a real talk that meets an audience where they are at?
I am used to speaking in front of people - but a big stage is different. Can I really do this?
I know my talking points can land but how do I manage my nerves?
I want to show up as me - I do NOT want to be like every other cookie-cutter speaker out there.
Well my friend, I GET YOU!
Listen, I get it.
I have been there - you have more ideas than you know what to do with, right? And they all feel weighty and important. That’s not a shortcoming - it’s your super power! Let’s harness those ideas and make them clear and succinct for your target audience!
Guess what -it’s not just you. Public speaking is one of the biggest fears that people rank up there with death and snakes (or something aggressive like that:) soooo…you aren’t alone in wondering if you can do this and not pass out. You can show up and feel good in your skin. Pinky promise.
Also, may I reassure you on something?
Most speakers have been handed a lot of ridiculous nonsense when it comes to speaking “the right way” on a stage. I am talking about common public speaking directives like: “...don’t use your hands too much...move here…make eye contact there… and for god sakes, don’t say um or forget your memorized script…yada yada yaDUH”
BOO! This just gets you stuck in your head which takes away from your humanity and presence.
Friend, there are better ways to draw out your most authentic voice and connect with your audience. Let’s focus on getting you connected to you - and then dialing up your unique energy - liberating you to speak from a more relatable and authentic space! Audiences prefer it too, btw.
You probably already know this, but TEDx stages are competitive. You aren’t a failure because your many applications still remain unanswered. Here’s the deal; each TEDx event is independently organized so they all have different themes and requirements. I can help you strengthen your application since I know what we look for as curators.
Let’s do this together - with other visionary women facing the same stuff! Iron sharpens iron.
You must attract curators and event organizers as a speaker(because let’s be honest - stages like these are a hot commodity and there is a lot of competition).
We are going to dial up the authentic and unique aspects of YOU and your story or idea that compels people to take a look at you.
You need to connect with your audience…the polished formulaic speaking models are ok - but a cookie-cutter speaker isn’t compelling, sorry. 🙁
Choose impact over flashy and “impressive” – I want you and your message to be REAL, solid, and memorable - otherwise why bother speaking?
Pitch your talk premise with a HIGH quality of energy and authenticity(I will draw that out of you as we build our relationship! Trust me).
Oh and that talk premise I just mentioned? That’s just fancy for getting super clear on your message and distilling down to the essentials that will land for the people listening. I want your audience to remember you!
I work with people who are flat-out determined to get their voices and ideas heard. Is this you?
A coach who has a personal passion for elevating voices and ideas to respected platforms. That’s me!
We are a match if you want to finally crack the code on getting your unique talk into the world. Let’s talk!
I take everything I have learned in four years as the Director of Curation, Speaker Coach and Executive Producer of TEDxFolsom to help YOU create a killer talk that feels exactly as it should - authentic to you while landing powerfully with your audience!
I’ve helped 40 TEDx speakers with diverse levels of experience and talk topics to the TEDx stage.
I’ve reviewed and selected speakers and their ideas from over 500 TEDx applicants.
AND…I’ve coached plenty of visionaries outside of TEDx as well - prepping a wide variety of communicators for high-stakes events through my private coaching practice, keynotes, and workshops.
I coach influential women
to speak with REAL impact
- so you can finally deliver your message from stages like TEDx and experience the incredible fulfillment that comes with sharing a transformational talk that changes things.
I am committed to moving more voices from the margins to the world stage. The world changes when women share their insight, innovation, and experiences.
That’s you.
Work with me and with others who are equally committed to offering solutions and disrupting the status quo.
Let’s chat about your talk ideas and how I can help!
I’m gonna be REAL with you for a second.
Here’s what makes me different from other
coaches and programs out there.
My team and I run a TEDx event that now ranks in the top 15% of TEDx events in the world. I understand what this type of talk, stage, and audience needs.
I am uniquely focused on digging into a connected YOU before we even touch your talking points. It may seem unconventional among speaker coaches but that’s my secret sauce and it works. When a whole person steps onto stage - audiences FEEL IT, they sense your conviction and credibility - creating a more memorable experience and takeaway. (That’s why you are there, right? To land a message that transforms people and situations? And that leads to my next point…
I will not take your money if I am not the coach for you. If being an impressive stage personality overshadows being a person of impact - we aren’t a fit. I am committed to elevating and amplifying voices that deliver fresh ideas, REAL stories, and perspectives for the good of their audience. That’s everything to me.
You spend 3 months investing brave, creative action into building a talk that you can give repeatedly and will always evolve and have impact.
This was the year you cultivated an entire body of work out of that “one idea” you couldn’t let go of.
Your pitch to speak resonates with event organizers who share your vision.
You receive the call to deliver your message and you are already prepared.
You walk ONTO your target stage this year and check OFF an item on your bucket list.
Seeing people impacted because you delivered your talk instead of wishing you could.
Your talking points are built and stage ready
You’ve nailed the exact elements for your TEDx application(s)
Your talk is recorded and shareable for prospective event organizers
You can pitch your talk premise on command
You are clear and connected to what you want for your audience
You feel confident and equipped to SHOW UP powerfully on any stage
You enjoy deep bonds with fellow thought leaders and influencers
Together, we’ll distill your big ideas into a concise, idea worth spreading. My process ensures that your talk is focused and resonant, making it easy for your audience to grasp and remember your message.
YES, you are speaking - but that doesn’t imply that your message is landing. An impact speaker connects with and engages their audience in meaningful ways. We will build upon your speaking style and enhance that which best reflects your energy and subject matter so that your audience feels like they are part of the conversation.
I believe story is our collective language as humans and can be a powerful tool in an impact talk. We'll work together to determine what aspects of your lived experience add the most punch to your talk, so audiences will connect with you.
A TEDx talk is not just a speech—it's also a performance of sorts. My coaching covers everything from body language to tone, pace, and how to command the stage with presence, while remaining true to who you are.
Forget about trying to sound impressive. Audiences crave REAL and authentic and they require an authority presence as it relates to the subject matter within your message. I help you to unearth and develop your truest voice, so you can step on that TEDx stage with killer confidence and greater ease, knowing you’re bringing the real you and nothing counterfeit.
You’ll receive personalized feedback during your talk development journey. From the writing process to run-throughs with your actual talking points…I coach with a heavy emphasis on practice to ensure that your speaking presence evolves and grows. I help you fine-tune both content and delivery.
You have a vital idea and perspective that you long to bring to the world and I have the 90-day coaching program that will help you craft a killer talk and strong stage presence.
Together, we will create REAL impact and disrupt the status quo.
Imagine entering the New Year with your dream in motion:
YOUR IDEA transformed into a memorable message
YOU prepared to take a stage with confidence
YOUR talk pitch clear and ready to pitch to event organizers

“Working with Jen helped me to deliver an emotionally powerful talk that had all the key elements, without getting lost in the overwhelm of the details and the need to recount every single thing. She guided me consistently and enthusiastically towards balancing what I wanted to share, and what the gift to the audience would be, and gave me tools to help tackle the inevitable fear and self-doubt that started to creep in. Jen taught me how to truly embody, own and deliver my story in the most powerful way I could. I will be forever grateful for her wisdom and love.”

"This is me and Jen Oliver right before I'm about to go on stage, if you watch Jen, you will see the true definition of a leader. (⬅ see video)
She hugged me. She fixed my hair. She said encouraging words to me. She did squats with me.😂 She cheered me on. This is what an extraordinary leader, coach, friend, mentor, human does.
And it matters so much. Thank you, Jen for all your support and hours of work to make each speaker feel more confident, comfortable, and capable.

✨I feel so ready for the TEDx stage. I don’t feel as nervous because I understand how it works. I know what to expect and I feel certain I can deliver!
✨I crafted my signature talk and delivered a message that could really solve our crisis. I got great survey feedback!
✨It is amazing to put clear wording to all of these ideas that have been bubbling up in me. It’s about time that I got my message into the world.
✨I had killer energy on that stage and I could see the audience “get it” as I delivered my talk.
✨I love that I can take the microphone and connect more deeply with my audience. They were so engaged!
✨When I go to speak, my “butterflies” are actually in formation and working for me - it’s like I am energized instead of scared because I now understand how to partner with all of that energy.
✨I feel clear about my talking points and not so stressed about memorizing a script and messing up.
✨Jen, I stood on that stage and revealed the true me. The one no one knew. I came out before an audience before I even told my own parents and it was ok! It was personal and yet super liberating.
✨I landed two stages as a result of getting clear on my message…it was too nebulous and broad previously and now I am far more succinct as I tell my story.
✨I can go deeper without fear and express my vulnerable and edgy perspectives and lived experiences. Audiences don’t judge us as speakers - they actually want to connect to us. I love that!
