Jay is excited to share the knowledge she has achieved from the journey to financial independence. Using advice from her father, and the examples of her mother Jay became financially independent at 56 and is currently on the fifth year of around the world travel, 28 countries and counting. She is on fire to teach young people the financial lessons she learned so future generations can move from a mindset of consumerism and materialism to a life of responsible money management and eventual financial independence.

Jay is an engaging speaker known for her passion and humor. She is on a mission to help others become confident in public speaking. An Advanced Communicator within the Toastmasters organization Jay has presented workshops and keynotes throughout communities in Germany, Italy and Argentina. Her experience and love for public speaking shines throughout her workshops and keynotes. Voted Audience Favorite in the 2015 San Miguel de Allende Storytelling Competition in Mexico, Jay loves entertaining her audiences with compelling stories. But her true joy comes from helping others shed negative notions about building wealth and gaining the confidence to master public speaking.

Jay’s Engaging Workshop Presentations Include:

Basic Money Management: The Road to Financial Independence

In this presentation Jay shares three pieces of advice from her father that have proven to be the most empowering words of financial wisdom. Participants will learn about controlling spending habits, defining long-term financial goals, understanding their personal spending and saving patterns, planning and saving for the things they really want, and living beneath their means as a way of life. Most of all participants will walk away from this workshop with easy to implement strategies that will empower them to create a lifestyle geared towards wealth building that will guide them to the point of financial independence.

Jay’s expertise comes from personal experiences that involved many failures and triumphs. It is Jay’s mission to help young people understand simple strategies for building wealth. It is so simple yet most people are not doing it. I can teach it because I did it.

Dynamic Speaker: Power Presentation Skills

Aside from highlighting techniques for beginning a speech, using stories to deliver your message and connecting with your audience, this interactive workshop shares the fundamentals of public speaking; delivering a powerful message, connecting with your audience, and getting your point across clearly. In this workshop Jay shares the secret to speaking in public without excessive fear or anxiety.

Nomadic Retirement: Why Stay in One Place?

This funny and informative talk gives the audience a bird’s eye view into life on the road. On a trip intended for one year, Jay is currently on the fifth year of an incredible solo journey around the world. In this talk she openly shares mishaps like being detained in Vietnam three days for overstaying her visa, being turned away at the border in Panama, and the joy of international volunteering. Through her hilarious stories Jay leaves her audience with the understanding that travel is beneficial to building social and communication skills, broadening horizons, increasing one’s ability to deal with uncertainty, boosting confidence, and learning things you can’t learn in a classroom or on the internet.

Testimonials

“After her speech Jay was surrounded by people (and I was one of them) who simply wanted to be close to her in order to understand what they had just experienced. Jay mesmerized her audience, in her hands we were puppets. Excuse my delight, but that wasn’t a speech that was a phenomenon”.

Dr. Thomas Rose      Koln, Germany

“I enjoyed Jay’s presentation very much. Her anecdotes about her dad were funny and informative. The information about financial independence will resonate and make a lasting impression with my students. They were taking notes! The presentation was thoroughly enjoyable”.
