Hi, I’m Jaclyn…

Jaclyn Gallo smiling at camera

I'm a nationally-recognized Speaker, Author and Podcast Host on a mission to help audiences embrace optimism and never give up.

I've published two bestselling books, and I host a popular women’s empowerment podcast called Spark Your Light, which ranks in the top 1.5% of all podcasts globally, with listeners in 96 countries. I’ve spoken on hundreds of stages at conferences, corporations and universities. I’ve delivered keynotes to top organizations including TEDx, Deloitte, Meta and Comcast NBCUniversal. I’ve been featured by Forbes, Business Insider, and Good Morning Washington. I’m also certified as a Life & Success Coach and Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner.

My entrepreneurial dreams were born almost a decade ago in my college dorm room at Georgetown University. I found myself in a corporate internship questioning what I really wanted out of life. I wondered "Is this it? Is this the best it’s ever going to get?" I knew that there had to be more out there for me. With no experience and no savings, I took a leap of faith and pursued my first business idea.

It was a total failure, and I spent $50,000 (that I won in pitch contests, raised on Kickstarter and borrowed using credit cards) on ideas that never made it off the ground. Applying the lessons from the failures I experienced, I built a thriving company helping others use their failures as a springboard to achieve their goals, just like I did. And that's where it all began. There is nothing that lights me up more than knowing that I am capable of getting through any challenge life throws at me, and ironically this is one of the greatest teachings failure gives us. Today, I have the privilege and honor of sharing this message on stages across the world.

If you’re looking for a keynote speaker to inspire your audience to get their hopes up, I’d love to chat more!

With gratitude,

Jaclyn Gallo
