THE PRESSURE PATTERN: What Your Wiring Reveals About Your Performance Under Pressure
Corporate Audiences | Women’s Groups | Leadership Teams
It took seven years for the internet to reach 100 million people. ChatGPT only needed two months. The pace of change is speeding up, and the professionals who navigate it best are not the ones with the most experience or the most capacity. They are the ones who understand their own wiring, stop fighting their nature, and start working within it.
In this keynote, Jenn Landis names the Pressure Pattern, the predictable way professionals become more concentrated versions of themselves when change hits. Strengths get louder. Perspective narrows. And patterns that used to bring praise begin causing friction. The Pressure Pattern is universal, but it is not inevitable. Once you can see it in yourself and the people around you, you stop being surprised by it and start working with it.
Drawing on her journey from stocking shelves at Walmart to the C-suite of a multi-billion-dollar publicly traded company, Jenn pairs the Pressure Pattern with her proven Breakthrough Formula, Strategize + Energize + Mobilize. The Pressure Pattern reveals who we become under stress. The Breakthrough Formula provides a path back to who we are meant to be. Together, they give audiences the language to recognize their own wiring, read the wiring of the people they work with, and reactivate the balanced perspective that pressure tends to silence.
Audiences leave with the ability to navigate disruption, reduce friction, and lead themselves and others through periods of change with intention instead of instinct. Because once you see the pattern, you cannot unsee it. And language changes everything.

THE SLINGSHOT EFFECT: The Partnership Strategy Behind Every Breakthrough
Service Professionals | Women's Groups | NONPROFIT & Corporate Audiences
We live in the most connected era in human history. We carry the world in our pockets and spend more than seven hours staring at screens. And yet, the U.S. Surgeon General has declared loneliness a national epidemic.
We are not short on contacts. We are short on community.
That gap is showing up everywhere. In the leaders who are running organizations alongside people they barely know. In the high-performers who have a long contact list and no one to think out loud with. In the caregivers who keep showing up for everyone else and quietly wonder who is showing up for them.
The people who thrive and excel have discovered something most have missed: a partnership strategy that propels their work forward while others plateau. These aren't transactional networking connections. They're not casual friendships, either. They're strategically cultivated slingshot partnerships. Reciprocal relationships that expand your capacity, accelerate your mission, and protect you from the exhaustion of carrying too much alone.
Through real stories of poignant moments, both humorous and heartbreaking, Jenn Landis shares how the highest-performing leaders build support networks that don't just catch you when you fall. They propel you toward results you couldn't reach alone. This isn't about collecting contacts or attending more events. It's about building reciprocal relationships with people who celebrate your wins, challenge your thinking, and create opportunities you couldn't access on your own.
Key Takeaways:
Discover Your Community Superpower: Identify whether you're a Connector, Contributor, or Catalyst, and learn how to leverage your natural strengths to build more balanced, powerful partnerships.
Master the CARE Framework: Learn the proven four-step system (Connect, Add Value, Refer, Engage) that breakthrough leaders use to build reciprocal relationships without the transactional exhaustion of traditional networking.
Build Slingshot Partnerships: Discover how to identify and cultivate the relationships that accelerate your impact exponentially, and learn how to become that accelerator for others.
Sustain Your Work Through Community: Learn why isolated ambition leads to burnout, and how strategic partnerships provide the support, perspective, and energy needed to do meaningful work over the long haul.
Who This Is For:
Built for service professionals, nonprofit leaders, and small business owners whose work depends on collaboration and shared mission. It also lands for women's leadership groups, healthcare providers, and any high-performing professional who feels isolated in their success or tired of networking that feels transactional.
Available as a keynote or workshop.
THE AUDACITY OF MORE: Four Questions for Women on the Move
Women's Conferences | Women's Leadership Groups | Women's ERGs
There is a particular kind of isolation that nobody talks about. It arrives quietly when you are doing everything right. You reach a point where the strategies, structures, and relationships that brought you this far no longer fit where you are going next.
This is not a personal failing. It is a structural condition. And the answer is not more grinding, more white-knuckling, or another quick fix that asks you to push harder. It is a deliberate redesign.
Jenn Landis has lived this. She climbed from juggling three part-time jobs, including stocking shelves at Walmart, to ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange as Chief Human Resources Officer of a multi-billion-dollar publicly traded company. Today, as the founder of Women of Altitude, she helps high-achieving women across industries do the same.
In this keynote, Jenn brings the audience behind the curtain. The boardroom. The water cooler. The quiet of her closet when everything had become too much. Through stories of both triumph and loss, she names what these women are actually carrying, and walks the audience through her MORE framework, four questions that anchor a deliberate redesign of what comes next: Maintain, Omit, Reinvent, and Expect. This is not a keynote about walking away from the work. It is a keynote about redesigning how you lead, contribute, and partner inside the work itself.
Isolation is the signal. Redesign is the answer. This keynote shows you how.
Key Takeaways:
Identify Sources of Isolation: Take a personal diagnostic that identifies where intellectual isolation is showing up in your life right now.
Recognize the Cost: Understand what carrying too much alone is actually costing you across your work, your relationships, and your impact.
Apply the MORE Framework: Answer four questions to build a MORE plan to anchor your deliberate redesign of what needs to change, what you will keep, and what comes next.
Build Slingshot Partnerships: Cultivate the reciprocal relationships to support your MORE plan and to turn isolation into impact while expanding your capacity for what comes next.
Who This Is For:
Built for women on the move. Mid-career leaders feeling the quiet weight of carrying more than they can name. Founders building something they could not have imagined five years ago. And senior executives who have reached the top of the ladder they set out to climb and realized the climb is not finished.
Available as a keynote or workshop.
