Speaking & Training
Leading Voice on burnout • Moral Injury • Sustainable Performance
Challenge the myths. Change the conversation. Transform the culture.
Dr. Jenny doesn’t do inspirational talks about resilience. She delivers hard truths about professional burnout, wrapped in frameworks that organizations can actually use.
As one of only three psychologist-bioethicists in the United States, she brings a unique perspective to the hidden costs of “hustle culture” and what it really takes to build sustainable success.
I was so very fortunate to walk in and hear your presentation.
Yours is the voice we need right now.

Why Organizations Choose Dr. Jenny for Speaking & Training
She gets what’s really at stake.
Having worked at high levels of healthcare leadership before becoming a whistleblower, Dr. Jenny understands the pressures and impossible choices that define high-stakes careers. She doesn’t speak from theory—she speaks from the trenches.
She addresses root causes, not symptoms.
While others focus on “resilience” and wellness initiatives, Dr. Jenny tackles the toxic narratives driving burnout in the first place. Her presentations help organizations examine the uncomfortable truths about cultures that consume their best people.
She provides actionable frameworks.
Every keynote and training session includes tools your teams can actually use. This isn’t motivational fluff. It’s practical guidance that works in real-world, high-pressure environments—an approach that doesn’t require people to sacrifice their souls for success.
What a wonderful, and practical, presentation you offered!
It’s the alternative to ‘go take a day at the spa,’ by giving people real techniques they can actually do in-the-moment.
