CONSIDER JENNIFER
Personal Responsibility Is Where Leadership Begins
Jennifer Meyer is a keynote speaker who helps professionals get straight with themselves so they can show up to their work — and their lives — with honesty, purpose, and intention.
Her work centers on a simple truth: when we don’t lead ourselves well, everything we touch suffers. Through keynotes and leadership programs, Jennifer helps organizations explore how personal responsibility, self-leadership, and emotional honesty shape the way people lead, collaborate, and perform.
My Journey
I’m Jennifer—known as Consider Jennifer—a keynote speaker who helps professionals get straight with themselves so they can show up to their work—and their lives—with honesty, purpose, and intention.
But I didn’t always see things this way.
Fifteen years ago, after my son was diagnosed with autism, I did what so many professionals do—I hustled. I tried to manage everything with calendars and to-do lists, convinced that if I just did enough, I could make everything okay.
Instead, I burned out. Completely.
That breaking point forced me to confront something I hadn’t fully understood yet: you cannot lead others well if you haven’t learned to lead yourself.
That realization reshaped the way I think about work, leadership, and responsibility.
Professionally, I’ve spent years working in project management and learning and development, helping teams navigate pressure, performance expectations, and the realities of modern work. I’ve seen firsthand how much leadership and culture change when people take responsibility for how they show up.
Today, my keynotes explore a simple but powerful idea:
If you don’t get straight with yourself, everything you touch suffers.
When leaders learn to say I Got Me—to take responsibility for their choices, their energy, and their leadership—they finally have the capacity to say I Got You to the people and work that matter most.
Because leadership isn’t just about strategy or results.
It’s about how we show up.

What I Do
Keynotes on personal responsibility and being human at work
Through keynotes and leadership workshops, I help organizations explore a simple but powerful idea: how people show up matters.
My work invites professionals to consider the role personal responsibility and self-leadership play in the way teams perform, communicate, and lead.
Organizations bring me in when they want leaders and teams to:
-
Take ownership of how they show up at work
-
Build trust without sacrificing accountability
-
Strengthen leadership through self-leadership
-
Create cultures where performance and humanity can coexist
I work most often with organizations where performance and personal responsibility go hand in hand—sales teams, entrepreneurial professionals, and leaders responsible for results

Why It Matters...
Because we can’t compartmentalize our lives. The person who walks into work each day brings their beliefs, pressures, values, and choices with them.
When people aren’t honest with themselves about how they show up, it shows up everywhere — in leadership decisions, communication, and team culture.
But when individuals take responsibility for how they lead themselves, everything changes.
Trust grows.
Clarity increases.
Teams perform better.
Because leadership isn’t just about what we do.
It’s about how we show up.
Beyond the Stage
When she’s not speaking, Jennifer can usually be found singing karaoke, taking a salsa class, or deep in conversation about the messy, meaningful work of being human.
She believes leadership isn’t something we switch on at work — it’s something we practice in our lives every day.
Because how we show up in the small moments is often what shapes the big ones.
If your organization is ready to explore what personal responsibility and self-leadership look like in real life, Jennifer would love to join the conversation.
