  • Failure to Launch: Teaching Resilience to our Youth"

    Format: _ 60-90min Keynote; 30min-60min Break out; 2-4 hour workshop- also offered in multi-day program

    In this compelling talk, Jordan addresses the rising mental health crisis among youth and young adults, where issues like anxiety and depression have reached unprecedented levels. While many attribute these challenges to social media and technology, Jordan proposes a deeper, more foundational cause: the loss of connection and hope about the future. Today's students are inundated with dire predictions about climate change, economic instability, and political division. The narrative they’ve grown up with is one of doom, not possibility. Jordan advocates for a critical shift in this narrative, emphasizing the power of positive storytelling, resilience, and hope. He suggests that the key to reversing these trends lies in inspiring the next generation to believe in their ability to create a better future. By highlighting stories of innovation and community strength, Jordan encourages a message of empowerment, making this talk an ideal fit for conferences focused on strengthening communities and fostering resilience in the face of adversity.

  • Beyond the Job Title: Rediscovering Yourself After Career Burnout or Retirement

    Format: _60-90min Keynote; 30min-60min Break out; 2-4 hour workshop

    Who are you?

    It seems like a simple question, right? We walk through life believing we know the answer—our name, our job, our roles, our past experiences. We build our identity like a house made of stone, something solid, unchanging, us. But what if I told you that identity isn’t as concrete as we think? That it’s more like water—shaped by our environment, our beliefs, and, most importantly, by what we’ve survived?

    The audience will leave with:

    Clarity on why they feel stuck or lost when their role or career no longer defines them, and the reassurance that this experience is both common and deeply human.

    A framework to separate identity from profession, and tools to begin rediscovering who they are beyond what they do.

    Hope and direction for what comes next—whether that’s creating new purpose in retirement, shifting careers, or simply reconnecting with themselves.

    A renewed sense of worth, fulfillment, and possibility, grounded in who they are, not just the roles they’ve played.

  • You Belong at the Table: How to Stop Letting Opportunities Pass You By

    Format: 60-90min Keynote; 30min-60min Break out; 2-4 hour workshop

    IIn today’s fast-paced and competitive world, countless professionals silently wonder if they have what it takes to step up, lead, or grow. Opportunities pass them by not because they lack ability, but because they lack confidence. They stay quiet in meetings, avoid asking for promotions, or settle into roles far below their potential. This keynote is a powerful wake-up call for those who are done watching from the sidelines.

    In this talk, Jordan Meyer addresses the silent self-doubt that keeps too many people from advancing in their careers. Drawing from years of clinical experience working with self-esteem, identity, and trauma recovery, Jordan helps audiences understand the real reason they hold themselves back: internal narratives shaped by past experiences, fear of failure, and deeply rooted beliefs about not being "enough."

    The audience will leave with:

    A clear understanding of what’s actually holding them back—and it’s not just lack of skill

    Tools to overcome fear, imposter syndrome, and self-sabotage in professional growth

    Strategies to build internal confidence and take action even when they're scared

    Permission to advocate for themselves, ask for more, and own their voice

    The belief that they are not behind, not too late, and not alone—they are ready

  • When habits and Self Help don’t work

    Format: _ 60-90min Keynote; 30min-60min Break out; 2-4 hour workshop- also offered in multi-day program

     Right now, the world is buzzing with messages of self-help—"Change your thoughts, change your life," they say. And for some people, that’s enough. A mindset shift, a few affirmations, a gratitude journal—it clicks, and their life improves. But there’s another group of people—people who have lived through real trauma. The kind of experiences that don’t just shake you, they shatter you. The kind that make you question everything—who you are, what you’re worth, whether you even deserve happiness.

    For these people—maybe for you—simple affirmations and positive thinking aren’t enough. Because when your identity has been built around survival, pain, or self-doubt, it takes more than kindness to yourself to undo the damage. It takes deep, effective transformation—a way to rebuild who you are, not just tweak how you think.

    The audience will leave with:

    A deeper understanding of why traditional self-help tools often fall short for trauma survivors, and why real healing requires more than mindset shifts.

    Validation of their pain and experience, especially for those who have felt unseen, dismissed, or frustrated by surface-level solutions.

    A new perspective on identity—how it’s formed through survival, shaped by trauma, and how it can be intentionally rebuilt.

    Practical tools and hope for transformation, including what it truly means to heal at the identity level, not just manage symptoms.
