You have something worth shouting from the rooftop.
Let's clarify your message, uncover your stories, shape your point of view, and cultivate the kind of presence that commands a spotlight.

(The question you want people asking after they hear you speak.)
"Where the hell has she been hiding?!?"
You have the expertise, the experience, the ideas and the receipts only you can share. But when it comes to getting on a stage, recording the podcast, giving the keynote or simply speaking up in the room... something happens.
You start editing and overthinking. You tell yourself to just “sound more professional.” You hold back because you want people to like you, respect you, listen to you. Or maybe you freeze, sweat through your shirt or just ramble nervously and later think, “WTF just happened?”
You assume an alter ego that reads “professional,” but it doesn't feel good because it doesn't feel like YOU. You follow all the advice about what a “good speaker” is supposed to do, and somewhere along the way, your actual voice gets lost.
Or maybe you're not even sure what your message actually is OR you know exactly what you want to say but can't seem to get it out of your head and into words. So you tell yourself the story that you just aren't that interesting, while watching mediocre people with half-baked ideas confidently take the stage and secretly wondering, why can't I do the same thing?
Because you do know this:
you aren't meant to be background noise.
But getting there isn't always easy.
So let's do something about it.
I help women become stronger, more confident speakers without editing out all of the personality and juicy shit that makes you interesting in the first place.
Together, we will uncover your story, find your message, sharpen your point of view, cultivate authentic stage presence and practice your delivery.
So you can shout it from the rooftop.
In other words: we get to the root of what you actually want to say, why you are the person to say it, how to make people listen, and how to deliver it without suddenly sounding like you're giving a corporate presentation from 2007 that makes watching paint dry seem like a better option.
Because you don't need to become a better version of someone else's speaker.
I'm here to help you become a damn good version of yourself.

Antonyms: generic, forgettable, less interesting than watching paint dry, waiting for permission.
Someone who refuses to follow a generic ass script, polish away their personality, or sound like everyone else. A person who uses their lived stories, actual opinions, and real voice as their greatest asset anytime they have the mic.
We don't need more 'good' speakers.
We need more Renegade Speakers.
ren·e·gade speak·er (n.)
A Renegade speaker isn't necessarily the loudest person in the room.
She's the one who knows what she came to say and isn't afraid to say it.
She leads with her story, POV and personality.
She knows her words matter and want to shout them from the rooftop.
Before I met Jen, I didn't trust my voice and I wasn't sure how to sell myself. Now I confidently take up space and I'm no longer apologizing or shrinking to help other people feel comfortable.

The Method to my madness
The Rooftop Method™
My Renegade approach that helps you uncover what you have to say, own your point of view, and make it land. It's the foundation behind my coaching, classes, and the work we do together.
Some might say I was born with a mic in my hand. My birth made the evening news and once I discovered singing and acting, I was hooked. I double majored in musical theater and public communication and have spent the last 20+ years on stages, in commercials, running events and building multiple businesses from the ground up.
But I also spent a LOT of time trying to fit in, do it the "right" way, and be what I thought people wanted. Spoiler: It sucked.
But eventually I wised up and realized that being fully, unapologetically myself was my biggest advantage.
And a hell of a lot more fun.
That's what I've been teaching ever since. And yes, I'll just say it. I'm really f'ing good at it.
If you are ready to show up with more ease, confidence, humor and a lot less apology, I'm the Renegade who will help you get there. (Cool 80s sunglasses optional.)

values check
I believe the patriarchy has had quite enough input into how women are supposed to sound, behave and take up space. I think we can burn it down with our voices, brands and businesses.
I believe women's voices matter. I believe Black lives matter, LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, women's bodies belong to them, and diversity makes us stronger.
I believe in using your voice - not just on a stage, but in the world. Speak up. Vote. Resist fascism. Give a shit. Support people who are doing good work. Make some noise. Unleash your inner Renegade.
