Sun, Sand & Scorpions - Solo across the Sahara

New paths of life always begin somewhere and for Jen, it was in heart of Morocco. In this inspirational presentation, Jen takes you through her first solo seven day race.  You will feel her pain, blood, sweat and tears as she shares the memories of digging deeper than imaginable to reach her goals.  Crossing the finish line at one of the world’s most grueling races was a true testament to perseverance, self confidence and embracing obstacles.  Jen can assure you that you will be left feeling empowered and motivated to tackle challenges and set goals that you may have never thought possible.

Badwater & Beyond

Journey with Jen at the world’s toughest footrace.  Known as Badwater, this 135 mile ultra across Death Valley California in the heat of July is the pinnacle race for runners in terms of toughness, preparation and respect for the body.  Fueled by determination to finish and support from a dedicated crew, Jen became the youngest female to not only toe start line but to deliver a performance of competition amongst the best!  Believing that we all have it in us to reach a little higher, this presentation focuses on goal setting and forward thinking.  Why put off to tomorrow what we can accomplish today?  After experiencing first hand what the extent of what having a strong mind and body can accomplish, Jen continues on to South Africa and Canada’s great North where she is faced with new challenges of life and death, painstaking decision making and an inner drive to push personal boundaries.

Inspire to Go Hire

Feeling like there will not be enough time to accomplish goals, see the world and experience every good thing, Jen strives to make each day count.  As she races around the globe with one of North America’s top adventure racing teams exploring remote places, the true meaning of team work is tested and practiced.  Jen can attest to the application of trust, respect and commitment as the fundamental building blocks of creating a successful team.  Day after day with no sleep, four very unique personalities persevere over relentless mountain ranges on foot, across endless bodies of water in boat and countless hours in the bike saddle, all for one common goal – experiencing success! The shared hardships of multi-day adventure racing have led Jen to develop the skills necessary to succeed as a team in life.  On our own we are good, together we are great!
