Jean Briese Keynote: Five Superpowers to Transform Stress into Success

In this 60-minute keynote, Jean Briese shares her inspiring personal story and delivers five superpowers that help leaders and teams thrive under pressure.

Summary

Jean Briese opens her keynote with humor and warmth, connecting with the audience through lighthearted stories and her own experiences of gifts gone wrong. Quickly, she shifts into her signature theme: everyone faces stress, and success comes from harnessing simple but powerful superpowers.

She shares her deeply personal story of abandonment at age 15, when her mother left her and her siblings just before Christmas. With the help of strangers who brought food, gifts, and love, she discovered the transformative power of kindness and hope. This turning point inspired her lifelong commitment to becoming a helper and building strong, resilient teams.

Jean then introduces her Five Superpowers:

  1. Habits – The foundation of success. Drawing on Michael Phelps’ routine, she explains how eliminating “I can’t” and starting each day proactively changes performance.
  2. Purpose – The key to fulfillment and influence. She challenges audiences to recognize their unique gifts, passions, and contributions as the secret to unstoppable success.
  3. Beliefs – Shaping reality. Jean distinguishes between limiting beliefs and absolute truths, urging audiences to create a “truth wall” that reinforces their strengths.
  4. People – The power of relationships. She highlights the importance of surrounding yourself with supporters rather than naysayers, noting that success rises to the level of our relationships.
  5. Action – The catalyst that makes all others work. She emphasizes choice, courage, and reframing failure as learning opportunities.

Throughout, Jean combines corporate leadership lessons from her Fortune 10 career with personal anecdotes, creating a balance of inspiration and practical strategy. She challenges the audience to commit to one actionable step within 24 hours to become part of the 10% who turn inspiration into transformation.

Summary

In this short promo, Jean Briese greets viewers outside the Rochester International Event Center before a client event. She recalls a life-changing period when her schedule felt like a nonstop tornado of busyness while juggling roles as leader, mother, daughter, sister, friend, volunteer, and parish council member.

Intercut with audience reactions and quick testimonials, Jean explains how eliminating “I can’t,” building a personal Truth Wall, and aligning daily habits with purpose helped her move from stressed to blessed. Snippets highlight core outcomes clients experience: renewed belief, practical tools for confidence under pressure, and an action plan that fits real life. The reel closes with Jean’s invitation to bring the Five Superpowers to your organization so people leave feeling focused, energized, and ready to act.
