Jess Ekstrom’s Speech Topics

  • The Growth Mindset: Change Your Mind So You Can Change Your Future

    The quality of your future is entirely dependent on the quality of your mindset. The first step to achieving influence and massive success is editing your thought patterns and the negative feedback loops that are holding you back, then hone the growth mindset that will take you to the next level. 


    If you’re looking to motivate your people to get out of their own way, outplay their imposter syndrome and feel fulfilled at the end of a work day, this is your keynote.


    Audience Takeaways:

    • Feel confident in their career so they can increase productivity and overcome challenges and change.
    • Understand how we talk to ourselves in moments of pressure, new territory, conflict, opportunity, and self-evaluation.
    • Learn how to reflect and evaluate their progress without judgment or comparison so they can avoid burnout and workplace anxiety.
    • Develop a toolkit for their thoughts so they can articulate their ideas and communicate with influence.
  • Meaningful Work: How to Be Fulfilled…Right Where You Are

    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….


    After hearing this keynote, the audience will:

    • Fulfillment is not a destination we hit one day, but a choice to how we live today
    • Develop an entrepreneurial mindset to increase your agility and handle what’s thrown your way
    • It’s not about the task, but what you make the task mean
    • Learn what is success (purpose) and what is achievement (reward)
