SPEAKING OPTIONS

The Hamady Framework for Voice at Work

Jennifer teaches us how to discover, honor, and express our most authentic selves at work. She explores topics including our levels of physical, mental, and emotional awareness, and how to address and resolve any limiting associations and actions that prevent us from walking openly, joyfully, and powerfully into our work (and lives).

Maximizing Leadership with Voice

As leaders, we know the importance of communication, yet our habits and blind spots can hinder our ability to effectively lead, connect and advance our careers. This is a highly interactive talk about the technical and emotional issues that interfere with our communication and self-expression. You will learn practical tools for developing and extending your most powerful voice in the workplace and beyond.

DEI and Communication

It is necessary, incredibly self-affirming, and empowering to explore how we can be successful in a world that isn’t fair – one that is full of microaggressions, bias, and a daily need to (re)explain ourselves as people of color. What vision can we create that acts as a beacon for ourselves and for our lives when we are faced with what feels like daily assaults? What skills do we need in order to communicate most authentically and effectively with those within and outside of our communities, so that we may bring that vision to life? Jennifer’s work with hundreds of people of color – from high school students to corporate executives = is absolutely life-altering. There are no words to convey the impact of this work with diverse people. This DEI topic can be offered for retreats or as a day-long masterclass/workshop and is ideal for diverse corporate ERGs/teams as well as students and staff of color (high school/college).

Corporate Public Speaking: The Heart & Art

Whether you’re in sales, customer service, or the CEO of a company – you’ll walk away from this talk feeling ready to communicate and lead with confidence and a new perspective on self and your stakeholders! While most communication training aims to teach you the tricks of the technical trade: how to craft a great speech, connect with your audience, and properly protect and project your voice (all important goals, for sure) – these are not nearly important as first considering who is doing the speaking. In this engaging interactive presentation, Jennifer helps individuals and teams discover the dis-empowering ways of thinking and being that have been standing in the way of their best self-expression at work. Once revealed, Jennifer works with participants to bring the technical skills of speaking and communication to life in an interactive format that is the hallmark of her keynotes and workshops.

Pride in Pitch: Mastering the Instrument of Identity at Work (ideal for PRIDE Month)

Drawing on LGBTQIA+ throughout history, author/therapist and nationally recognized voice expert Jennifer Hamady’s highly interactive approach helps individuals and teams recognize and remove the emotional and interpersonal barriers that hold voices back. Open to all genders, this offering helps participants step into their most authentic and effective personal and professional selves by addressing what stands in the way of recognizing their worth. The result is the claiming of their empowered authentic voices and sharing themselves with confidence and joy. A unique way to honor and celebrate LGBTQIA’s history while also honing in and developing skills around self-expression and communication, Jennifer’s session can be delivered virtually or in person.

Overcoming The Fear Of Public Speaking

Have a big sales pitch to make and feeling your face flush already? We see you! Managing the fear of public speaking is the subject of a thousand books, workshops, and programs that attempt to help deal with and mitigate its effects. Yet only a fundamental shift in the way in how this anxiety is perceived will allow us to overcome and transcend it. In this presentation, Jennifer speaks to the true nature of performance anxiety, helping us to break down the barrier- finally- that exists between us and other people in all of our interactions.

Masterclass: Voice For Singers

Working with aspiring and professional singers is one of Jennifer’s greatest joys. Each event is tailored to meet your group’s specific needs, which Jennifer brings to life through a combination of conversation and working one on one with volunteers. Whether participants sing or observe, the experience of being ‘shown’ rather than ‘told’– combined with Jennifer’s unique ability to teach and lead with love, humility, and humor– will result in a magical and memorable session, as well as vocal and personal tools that last.

Corporate Retreats and Workshops/Masterclasses

Jennifer is available for customized workshops and masterclasses that focus on communication on teams and for leadership. These can be keynotes and workshops for retreats, ongoing consulting for teams, one off masterclasses, etc. Contact us for more information.

The New Brigade: Trading Fear for Flow in Food Service

For decades, the sound of a professional kitchen has been defined by the roar of the range and the sting of the shout. But what if the ‘secret ingredient’ to a world-class brigade isn’t fear—it’s resonance? In this interactive keynote, Jennifer Hamady strips away the myth of the ‘angry chef’ to reveal how authentic, grounded communication can lower the turnover, raise the standards, and transform the heat of the kitchen into a fire of inspiration.”.

“Jennifer Hamady is The Voice Whisperer”
– Karen Salmansohn, NY Times best-selling author

“Jennifer Hamady was the keynote speaker at my school’s annual Global Awareness Day activities. Jennifer has a unique set of abilities—she is able to make a big room feel small and intimate, she makes students feel safe sharing their thoughts and aspirations, and she brings out a high level of engagement even at 8:00 in the morning on a Monday. Jennifer worked closely with our students to create a shared vision for the event and then brought that vision into reality. She is someone who is excellent at encouraging free-form conversation and bringing out the best and most interesting parts of that conversation. I enthusiastically recommend Jennifer!”
