Wealth. Success. Self-trust. And what we're really building it all for.
Jenna Shaw speaks to ambitious women, leaders and entrepreneurs who have become incredibly good at creating success, but are ready to think differently about what success actually means.
Blending more than 15 years in the financial industry with her own unlikely path from having very little to managing more than $150 million in assets, Jenna brings a refreshingly human voice to conversations about money, ambition, belonging and wealth.
Her talks are honest, energizing and grounded in real life, leaving audiences thinking differently about what they've already created and what they're ready to do next.
FEATURED + INVITED TO SPEAK
From media conversations to conference stages, Jenna brings a more human perspective to conversations about money, wealth and success.

OBLITERATE the START LINE
Stop waiting for the number that finally makes you feel ready.
You know how to make money.
You’ve built the business, grown the career, taken the risks and figured shit out. But are you as comfortable taking care of your wealth as you are creating it?
Maybe you’ll invest when you make a little more, get serious about your financial plan when you reach the next milestone, find the right people when business settles down, or finally feel successful when you hit that number.
Except you get there, and the start line moves again.
Jenna knows this pattern intimately. She grew up as what she calls “the Dollar Store kid,” believing money meant freedom, safety and choice. She became extraordinarily good at making it and today manages more than $150 million in assets.
Somewhere between those two realities, she discovered something: there is no number that suddenly makes you feel ready.
There will always be another number, another room, another level, another person with more, and another opportunity to decide you’re behind.
In Obliterate the Start Line, Jenna combines personal storytelling, financial expertise and a whole lot of truth to challenge the way successful women think about money, wealth and readiness.
Because maybe the question isn’t When will I finally have enough to begin?
Maybe it’s: What am I waiting for?
Audiences will leave ready to:
Recognize the invisible “start lines” keeping them from taking action
Understand why making money and feeling financially secure aren't the same thing
Think differently about the relationship between success, wealth and readiness
Give their wealth the same intention they've given their business or career
Stop waiting for some future version of themselves and take the next step from where they are now
There is no number that suddenly makes you ready.
Start where you are.
Take care of what you've already created.
Obliterate the start line.
Additional Speaking Topics
More conversations worth having.
Jenna’s work lives at the intersection of wealth, ambition, self-trust and possibility. In addition to her signature keynote, she speaks and facilitates conversations on topics designed to challenge the way we think about success, money and what comes next.
-
What becomes possible when you stop trying to prove you belong?
After being underestimated, passed over for opportunities and nearly walking away from the financial industry altogether, Jenna made a decision that changed everything: she stopped waiting for someone else to believe in her.
A candid conversation about belonging, courage, intuition and what becomes possible when we stop performing who we think we’re supposed to be and trust ourselves enough to take the next step.
-
What if your next level requires less proving and more trusting?
More money, responsibility, visibility and opportunity can bring everything we’ve been working toward while simultaneously waking up the voice that asks, Who am I to have this?
Jenna explores the internal side of expansion and what it takes to trust yourself with more success, more wealth and more possibility without constantly moving the benchmark for when you’ll finally feel worthy of it.
-
What are you actually building all of this for?
We spend enormous amounts of our lives working to make money, but rarely stop to ask what we actually want that money to mean.
Drawing from her own relationship with money and years spent advising people with significant wealth, Jenna opens a different conversation about financial success, because accumulating more isn’t necessarily the end goal. The real question is what you want everything you’ve created to make possible.
-
It’s time for women to have different conversations about money.
Women are earning more, building companies, leading organizations and creating significant wealth. Yet conversations about investing, wealth, ambition and financial success can still feel intimidating, overly complicated or strangely private.
Part education, part conversation and part invitation, Jenna explores what becomes possible when women talk more openly about money, ask better questions and become more confident taking care of what they’ve created.
Particularly suited to women’s events, panels, facilitated conversations and intimate leadership gatherings.
