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.
Read Summary & Key Moments
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:
- Habits – The foundation of success. Drawing on Michael Phelps’ routine, she explains how eliminating “I can’t” and starting each day proactively changes performance.
- Purpose – The key to fulfillment and influence. She challenges audiences to recognize their unique gifts, passions, and contributions as the secret to unstoppable success.
- Beliefs – Shaping reality. Jean distinguishes between limiting beliefs and absolute truths, urging audiences to create a “truth wall” that reinforces their strengths.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
