get your hopes up:

Unleash the Life-Changing Power of Optimism

When was the last time you told yourself, “Don’t get your hopes up?” We often go through life trying to avoid disappointment at all costs. We convince ourselves that it’s better to be pleasantly surprised than to be let down. But ultimately, this is just a lie we are telling ourselves. In fact, University of Pennsylvania psychologist Martin Seligman found that optimists live longer and are less likely to suffer from depression. In school, optimists earn higher grades and are less likely to drop out, and in the workplace, optimists consistently outsell their pessimistic colleagues by 20-40% and are twice as likely to stay in their jobs.

In this keynote, nationally recognized speaker and best-selling author Jaclyn Gallo uses the science of positive psychology to inspire audiences to embrace optimism and never give up. Through Jaclyn’s engaging stories and relatable examples, she equips audiences with a refreshing perspective and a newfound willingness to get their hopes up and take courageous action towards their goals.

Audience members will:

  • Understand why hope is essential for building resilience

  • Explore the relationship between hope and fear

  • Reframe the meaning of failure

  • Pursue opportunities with confidence

  • Embrace the power of perspective

bridging the self-perception gender gap:

A Woman's Guide to Positive Self-Image

For decades, studies have found women underestimate their intrinsic abilities while men, on the other hand, overestimate theirs. Self-perception is directly linked to the outcomes one experiences in life. In order to elevate women, it is essential to improve self-perception.

In Jaclyn’s bestselling book Stop Getting in Your Own Way, she talks about how negative self-image often holds women back from reaching their full potential. Jaclyn learned this through her own personal struggle with self-doubt. Today, her podcast ranks in the top 1.5% of all podcasts globally and has listeners in 96 countries… all because she believed in herself.

Audience members will:

  • Explore the importance of self-image

  • Discover a simple strategy for improving self-talk

  • Understand how to create habits that stick
