Jenny Evans, B.S., C.P.T., C.F.T.

Reignite passion and purpose at work so your people don’t just show up, they step up.

Audience: Leaders, Managers, Employees, Organizations Facing Turnover

The Problem: 

We’ve moved from people actually leaving (Great Resignation) to doing the minimum (quiet quitting) to now actively suffering while staying (quiet cracking, resentment). It’s a progression from active to passive resistance to internal breakdown.

Employees show up but don’t engage. They perform but don’t excel. They stay but don’t thrive. Disengagement, burnout, and turnover aren’t random; they’re the symptoms of a deeper disease: work that feels meaningless.

What this makes clear is that people don’t quit jobs; they quit when work loses meaning.

The Promise: 

Jenny Evans transforms purpose-starved employees back into engaged, energized performers. Using science-backed tools and powerful storytelling, she gives audiences a framework to break through disengagement, reconnect to what matters, and turn work into fuel instead of a drain.

When people find meaning in their work, their brains release dopamine and endorphins—neurochemicals that increase focus, motivation, and resilience.

The result? Teams that are energized, leaders that are more confident, and organizations that retain and inspire their best people.

Keynote Overview: 

Purpose isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a scientifically proven buffer against stress, burnout, and turnover. Employees who feel purposeful perform better, are more resilient, and stay longer.

In this keynote, Jenny delivers both the aha! of rediscovering purpose and the practical strategies to live it every day. She weaves together neuroscience, psychology, and interactive exercises to make purpose the competitive advantage your organization needs.

Planner ROI: Teams leave re-engaged, leaders leave with a clear framework, and you leave with higher event ratings and results that show up back at work.

Key Takeaways: 

• Why purpose is essential to success professionally and personally.
• How a clear sense of purpose improves resilience, performance, engagement, energy, connection, and sense of belonging.

Burnout isn’t just draining energy—it’s draining profits through turnover, disengagement, and rising healthcare costs. Most “solutions” tell people to slow down, but that’s not an option in high-demand workplaces.

In this keynote, Jenny shows audiences how to flip their stress chemistry so energy, focus, and performance become sustainable—even when pressure never lets up. Burnout isn’t inevitable. It’s fixable.

(And How They Can Help You Find an Elephant When Necessary)
While tracking elephants in Namibia, Jenny learned six unforgettable principles that change how we find meaning and direction. Through vivid storytelling, research, and metaphor, she equips audiences to cut through the noise and stay aligned with what truly matters.

This keynote helps people spot the “tracks” that lead to clarity, fulfillment, and resilience—at work and in life. Purpose stops being abstract and becomes practical, actionable, and deeply energizing.

Disengagement and turnover are costing companies their best people. Teams are uninspired, drained, and disconnected from purpose.

When employees understand their purpose—and see how their work feeds into the company’s mission—businesses benefit measurably: purpose‐driven organizations see up to 21% higher profitability, and engaged workers are 21% more productive.

Jenny reignites passion by reconnecting employees to the why behind their work—transforming a culture of “just surviving” into one of resilience, commitment, and impact.

Research proves that companies with more female executives are more likely to outperform companies that don’t. Unfortunately 42% of professional women report being burned out, and many are considering stepping back from their careers. Jenny tackles this head-on with science-based strategies that fuel confidence, energy, and resilience in female leaders.

This keynote equips women to navigate real systemic challenges while sustaining their performance and impact—and equips organizations to retain their top talent.

Every thought, decision, and action requires biological energy. Without it, nothing works. But most high-achievers treat it like it’s limitless—until they crash. Jenny teaches audiences how to build, protect, and recover their energy using strategies grounded in physiology and neuroscience.

The result? Teams that stay clear, sharp, and high-performing, even in the most demanding environments.
