The result? An audience who feels both seen and entertained, while walking away with practical tools they can actually use.
Whether you’re after an inspiring keynote to kick off a conference, a practical workshop that leaves your team with tools they can use straight away, or a light-touch host to keep the energy flowing, Jana will adjust her style and content to suit the room.
Delivering the right keynote topic for every audience.
EMBRACE CHANGE
Embrace Change.
Move Forward.
We all face unexpected challenges, setbacks, and moments where we question our direction. Jana guides audiences through the universal experience of navigating change, the fears that hold us back, and the mindset shifts that allow us to move forward. Through storytelling, humour, and raw honesty, Jana creates a space where audiences feel seen, inspired, and empowered to take charge of their own next chapter.
REWRITE YOUR STORY
Plot Twist:
Rewriting Your Story.
When life doesn’t go as planned, most people freeze. Jana helps audiences do something braver - rewrite the story. Blending powerful storytelling with her signature P.L.O.T. Method™, this keynote guides audiences through disruption, reframes their inner narrative, and equips them with the tools they need to begin again, on purpose.
The Power of Storytelling:
Communicate with Impact.
How to communicate with impact and influence. People don’t remember statistics. They remember stories. This session explores the psychology behind storytelling and how to use it to engage, inspire, build connection and influence others. Audience members will leave with practical techniques for crafting and delivering stories that resonate, whether it’s in presentations, team meetings, or everyday conversations.
Pop Culture Therapy:
A Mirror of Human Behaviour.
From the drama of reality TV to the headlines splashed across the tabloids, pop culture offers more than just entertainment - it’s a mirror of human behaviour. With her therapist’s lens (and confessed obsession with reality TV), Jana unpacks the dynamics we see on our screens: conflict, connection, resilience, reinvention. Light-hearted yet insightful, learn how the shows we binge-watch can reveal powerful truths about the way we live, love and relate.
Tailor-made to suit your event.
Jana knows that every audience is different, which is why she tailors each keynote, workshop or hosting role to suit the event. Whether it’s corporate, educational, or community-focused, she strikes the right balance of expertise, humour, and relatability - ensuring her message lands in a way that feels relevant, memorable, and uniquely suited to your audience.
