Creating Positive Culture with Complex People

Our team tends to get deep in the weeds with our work and badly needed this training to connect us and encourage us to get to know ourselves and one another better. Jenn conducted an upbeat, positive, and extremely informational session introducing us to the Enneagram. Her knowledge and engaging style kept everyone's attention and gave us the means to do some self-discovery and identify our motivations. We're excited to continue to learn more and refer back to what she shared often. Definitely recommend bringing Jenn to your team.

Jenn Whitmer is an interactive and engaging speaker, even in our virtual training platform. Jenn's workshop on conflict resolution was perfect for our managers. Our managers learned how to identify their own conflict style, myths about conflict, and actual phrases to use when dealing with conflict. She did exercises with the group on the spot and even provided free downloadable material at the end. One of the comments from our managers, “I wish I would have learned this 10 years ago!”
I highly recommend Jenn as a speaker.

Jenn was a speaker in my business coaching program and absolutely blew it out of the park. She was so incredible and impactful for my students in helping them integrate the Enneagram with their business and truly understand their clients from a different perspective. Jenn was also a guest on my podcast and really taught the Enneagram in a way that was simple, understandable, and highly actionable. When this information is used powerfully it can truly change your life, and Jenn teaches it in a way that's not just "good to know" but easily applied! I couldn't recommend her more!

Hiya, I’m Jenn
Do you feel that? That’s the breath of fresh air coming your way.
I can guarantee your audience will laughing and learning with me on stage. I use storytelling, interaction, big questions, real data, and a big dose of humor to teach about leadership — where heads come up, backbones straighten, and lightness fills the room.
And your audience leaves with their scribbled notes, emails to themselves, and chatter to their people full of actionable steps that transform their lives.
CORPORATE
Jenn can save your company millions of dollars...yes, I mean millions.
Employee engagement and leadership skills aren’t extras for your organization. They are the very lifeblood of a profitable company. Shall I share a few examples?
•A disengaged employee costs a company 34% of their salary. That’s on average $17,651.53 per employee per year.
•According to Gallup, highly engaged teams see a 20% lift in productivity and a 40% improvement in turnover.
•Replacing an employee ranges from one-half of an employee's annual salary up to two times that salary. In an organization of 100 people that’s up to $2.6 million per year.
•And what about conflict? A leading cause of lack of employee engagement? According to CCP, each employee spends on average three hours a week managing the effects of unresolved conflict. That’s nearly $668 billion dollars a year for the U.S.
This is a solvable problem.
Jenn engages your audience not only with stories, but also with actionable skills they can apply right away. Learning how to manage conflict, communicate effectively, and most importantly develop the No. 1 leadership skill —
self-awareness.
Your people will leave feeling inspired and empowered. And also asking...where did you find Jenn?
