Hi, I’m Jaclyn…

Jaclyn Gallo smiling at camera

I'm a keynote 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 across the U.S and in 7 countries. I’ve delivered keynotes to top organizations including Deloitte, Meta and Comcast NBCUniversal. I’ve been featured by Forbes, Business Insider, Good Morning Washington, Elite Daily, and Thrive Global. I’m also certified as a Life & Success Coach and Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner.

My entrepreneurial dreams were born 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 create real change in their lives, I’d love to chat more!

With gratitude,

Jaclyn Gallo
