International Speaker, keynote presenter, author on change

Jennifer Bryan puts people at the heart of decision making. For over 25 years, in over 40 different organisations and in multiple industries, she has helped thousands of people to understand and implement change in an unpredictable world. Clients value her confidence and energy to communicate ideas, concepts and perspectives in ways which enable others to listen and accept different viewpoints.

Jennifer creates and delivers thought-provoking keynote presentations, executive seminars, and strategic change studies on people-centric change. Her work has a particular focus on the behavioural and mindset shifts which are required to imbed future-fit change and leadership.
Invited to speak at a wide range of national and international conferences and events, her clients include: Women in Technology Global Conference, Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP) Global Conference, Workplace Trends Summit, TEDx, Heineken Leadership Event, Home Office Leadership Event, Workspace Design Show London, Workplace Design Show in Slovenia, and the Henley Business School of Management Global Conference.

From a theatrical background in dance and acting, Jennifer was motivated from a young age to voice her opinions and to consider the thoughts and feelings of others. She learned to live with uncertainty and adapt to continuous change. Using her “end person in mind” perspective, alongside her holistic approach to change, she thinks of the person furthest from the decision-making process: what are they thinking and feeling about life, right now? How will change affect them? Are they willing to engage with a change process? Would they want to? Why should they care?
Jennifer believes we are at a cultural crossroads not experienced in nearly 100 years, since Henry Ford created the production line and the 5-day working week. She has a keen interest in AI and how technology, UN Sustainability goals and societal shifts impact on people and the organisations in which they work. Skilled in connecting with clients from a position of genuine commercial insight, she explores the mindset shifts and leadership capabilities required to compete in the future world of work. She understands that human beings are multi-faceted by nature, and leaders therefore need a variety of different perspectives, tools and tactics to enable informed choices.
A Top 50 Workplace Leader of 2024 (the influential list of inspiring leaders, innovators, pioneers and changemakers of the workplace today), she is a published author, keynote and conference speaker and Managing Director of her own company.

Jennifer was insightful and engaging and addressed all the key messages at our leadership event. I would highly recommend her.

I worked with Jennifer on a project where we faced lots of challenges, from the customer underestimation of communication to misunderstanding what change management is about. Fortunately, we got Jen. She was our diamond. Her clear vision and enormous amount of experience helped us guide the client through, build their muscles and empower them to build their own practice. She is the ideal description of an inspirational leader who is doing something extra, something extraordinary for others to help them grow. Her frameworks, outstanding knowledge, enthusiasm, change management experience and openness became the essential motivation for the rest of us.

Jennifer’s ability to make you see things differently, to discover “what’s in it for me” and how change is viewed by those it impacts, was eye opening and hugely beneficial. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jennifer as a change professional and would certainly call on her skills again.
