Talent Short Bio
Jen Bricker is an internationally sought-after motivational keynote speaker whose life story powerfully reframes what is possible. Born without legs and adopted by a family who lived by the mantra “Never say can’t,” Jen was raised to see opportunity where others saw limitation. That mindset became the foundation of a life defined by resilience, determination, and bold ambition.
Driven by a love for gymnastics, Jen pursued the sport at a competitive level, training and competing alongside able-bodied athletes. She went on to become a state champion in power tumbling, earning respect not through inspiration alone, but through undeniable performance. Along the way, she drew motivation from her gymnastics idol, Olympic gold medalist Dominique Moceanu. In an extraordinary twist of fate, Jen later discovered that Dominique was her biological sister, a revelation that captured global attention and deepened the emotional resonance of her story.
Beyond athletics, Jen is the author of the bestselling memoir Everything Is Possible, where she shares hard-earned lessons on mindset, perseverance, and self-belief. Her work emphasizes that true limitations are often self-imposed, and that growth begins when people challenge the stories they tell themselves.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses and other costs
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Deposits and securing a booking
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
