CHASING THE BRIGHT SIDE: PURPOSE-DRIVEN THINKING LEADS TO UNSTOPPABLE GROWTH

Nowadays, it’s so easy to get warped into negative thoughts and constantly
feeling like you’re moving from problem to problem.

A recent study at the American Academy of Neurology found that prolonged
negative thinking diminishes your brain’s ability to think or reason clearly and
it quickly drains your energy.

You’d think the solution to negativity would be to tell yourself to “just be
positive!” but we all know that doesn’t trick your brain, it only frustrates it.

Read More

In Jess’ bestselling book, Chasing the Bright Side, she talks about how optimism
isn’t about eliminating the negativity, it’s about using it to create something
better. Even the spark of her business, Headbands of Hope, was started because
of a problem she saw: kids with cancer wanted to wear headbands after hair-loss.
Now, her company has donated over one million headbands to kids with illnesses
and has reached every children’s hospital in the United States and 22 countries.

 

 

But it all began because there was a problem. Problems are where a lot of great
ideas begin if we let them.

 

 

If you’re looking to find a keynote speaker who can deliver inspiration infused
with humor and entertainment, then Jess is your choice. In this keynote, she
aims to inspire audiences to not just envision a better future for their life,
work, and community, but go create it.


PAST AUDIENCES:

Edward Jones, Zappos, Leadercast Live, Newell Brands


TAKEAWAYS:

Finding the overlap between passion and profit

How to turn setbacks into comebacks

Why optimism is the key to positive growth

A better future starts with a brighter mindset


“JESS EKSTROM IS LEAVING HER MARK ON THE WORLD AND IT’S AMAZING TO WATCH HER DO
IT.”

MEANINGFUL WORK: HOW TO BE FULFILLED...RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE

Let’s get one thing straight: meaningful work is not assigned to you, it’s
created by you.

Most of the time we believe that in order to do something meaningful, we have to
do something else: live somewhere else, work somewhere else, do something else,
be someone else.

But what if we didn’t have to change our circumstance to do something
meaningful, but changed our mindset around it?

Read More

Nowadays, people don’t want to just clock in and clock out. People want to feel
like what they’re doing matters- it’s human nature. We want to know that all of
the tasks are building blocks to something greater than themselves. We want to
zoom out and say, “Yes! I’m a part of something that matters.”

 

When employees, leaders, entrepreneurs can create meaning in their work:

They show up with more passion
Their hustle muscle is activated
They’re more engaged in the big picture
And the ordinary tasks now have an extraordinary purpose

 

When we build meaning in our work: A single sale becomes a fist pump of forward
progress. A customer service call becomes a deeper connection to a future
customer. An end of quarter review becomes an impact report….

 

 

In other words, our jobs are no longer jobs…they’re a service to humanity.

 

 

Jess’ keynote is certainly not a namaste, save the world,
love-what-you-do-and-you-never-have-to-work-a-day-in-your-life manifesto. She
uses her experiences, market research, and improv comedy classes to make an
inspiring yet entertaining experience.


PAST AUDIENCES:

Magnolia, Micron, Sharpie, Citrix, Ignite Tupelo, Catalyst University


TAKEAWAYS:

Fulfillment is not a destination we hit one day, but a choice to how we live
today

It’s not about the task, but what you make the task mean

Develop an entrepreneurial mindset to increase your agility and handle what's
thrown your way

Learn what is success (purpose) and what is achievement (reward)

“WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE INCREDIBLE TALENT THAT IS JESS EKSTROM. SHE WAS A
STANDOUT AMONG NINE OTHER SPEAKERS DURING CATALYST UNIVERSITY WITH HER STORY,
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE AND LOVABLE ENERGY. JESS IS AN ORIGINAL IN A WORLD OF
COPIES; NOT ONLY IN THE WORK SHE DOES, BUT IN THE STORIES SHE TELLS AND THE WAY

THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID: POWERING OUR INNER DIALOGUE SO WE CAN LEAD THE WAY

The perfect keynote option for any women’s group or women-focused event!

Whether or not we recognize it or hear it, we have this voice in our head: the
voice in our head that tells us we’re not ready. The voice in our head that
makes our failures louder than our wins. The voice in our head that compares us
to the woman beside us. The voice in our head that tells us someday, but not
today.

So what happens when we change the story?

Read More

Opportunity. That’s what happens when we change the voice in our head to tell us
that there’s good and we can bring it. It opens up a whole other world that
maybe we thought was beyond reach before. Everything we want is within reach if
we’re willing to throw perfection out the door and embrace the messiness of the
journey.

 

But first, we have to learn to recognize the voice in our head and train it to
be our biggest cheerleader, instead of the coach that keeps putting you on the
bench. In this keynote, Jess will use her entrepreneurial story to show how she
actively trained the voice in her head through times of inspiration, chaos,
failure and purpose.


PAST AUDIENCES:

Leadercast Women, Wine and Design Franchisee Conference, and Carquest Womens
Summit


TAKEAWAYS:

Recognizing the voice in our head and what it tells us

Learning that confidence is a voice, not a skill

The path to leadership begins with giving more airtime to our inner cheerleader
than our inner critic

Understanding that we are always in control of our story


“WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE INCREDIBLE TALENT THAT IS JESS EKSTROM. SHE WAS A
STANDOUT AMONG NINE OTHER SPEAKERS DURING CATALYST UNIVERSITY WITH HER STORY,
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE AND LOVABLE ENERGY. JESS IS AN ORIGINAL IN A WORLD OF
COPIES; NOT ONLY IN THE WORK SHE DOES, BUT IN THE STORIES SHE TELLS AND THE WAY
SHE LIVES HER LIFE.”
