Jan shares her inspiring journey from a 10-year-old girl who boldly declared she was going to ride a motorcycle to Los Angeles and become a comedy superstar, to spending over a decade in corporate marketing before finally answering the call to the stage. With more than 25 years on the national speaking circuit, she now teaches leaders, teams, and professionals how to use comedian-level resilience skills in real life and work. You’ll hear practical wisdom from her popular keynotes, including “Finding the Funny in Change” and “Bouncing Back: Handling Setbacks Like a Comedian.” Jan reveals the specific techniques comedians use to recover from mistakes on stage — and how anyone can apply those same tools to bounce back faster from career disappointments, personal challenges, and unexpected life twists.
