Keynote Topics

Perfect for a women’s conference or large female audience, Jen’s “SheQ” presentation provides strategies for being more emotionally intelligent (EQ).

Using EQ as a key competency builds more resiliency and helps women gain more confidence by learning to get comfortable with risk in a motivating and inspiring message.

Jen Shirkani helps audience members see how maintaining a healthy level of challenge and struggle can enable everyone to be more powerful at work and in every aspect of life.

Successful managers and leaders leverage the power of emotional intelligence (EQ) to engage and motivate their employees and associates.

Leaders with high EQ can communicate with others effectively, provide balanced feedback, lead others through ambiguity, use humor to build rapport, read and respond to the leadership needs of others, and remain optimistic, even in the face of difficulty.

In this presentation, Jen shares a consultative sales approach that leverages the power of emotional intelligence and creates client value and redefines “selling” to being seen as a trusted advisor.

The most successful salespeople learn how to intuitively recognize their strengths, read people and situations accurately, and respond to others appropriately.

Business today demands the need for professionals who are nimble, flexible and engaged.

This presentation provides practical ideas for thriving in a dynamic environment through the development of the emotional intelligence competency.

Building a Championship Team

Exceptional performance is the perfect alignment of skills, rewards, feedback, management style, measurement and culture.

Keeping employees engaged today requires staying in-tune with what is most important to them, finding ways to creatively match cultural features with their motivation factors.

This Jen Shirkani session is designed to help leaders learn about employee performance drivers and easy to apply techniques for engaging, motivating, and developing their employees.
