Upcoming Conference Session
From Insight To Impact: Why Learning Doesn’t Always Change Behavior
Jennifer will present this session at the 54th Annual AEE International Conference in November 2026 in Estes Park, Colorado.
The session explores a challenge many facilitators and learning leaders know well: participants may leave a learning experience energized and committed, yet those intentions do not always become sustained action back on the job.
Book Jennifer When Your Audience Needs More Than Inspiration.
Many leadership and workplace performance conversations stop too soon. They focus on effort, buy-in, motivation, or accountability before asking whether the work environment is actually designed to support the performance leaders expect.
Jennifer helps audiences slow down, diagnose the real issue, and use the JL³ Performance Levers™ to see what may be getting in the way.
Core Message
Performance problems are not always people problems.
When teams stall, leaders often look for a training issue, an accountability issue, or a motivation issue. Sometimes that is accurate. Often, the real constraint sits inside the conditions of the work.
Jennifer gives audiences a practical way to look beneath the symptoms before choosing the next fix.
