Topics for JJ Ferrari

  • Become. Attract. Create. Lessons from a lifetime of change
    In our constantly changing world, it's easy to feel as though the world is shaping our lives [or enterprises] rather than allowing us to do so. The reality is that we hold the keys to our own progress, attraction, and creation. Join JJ Ferrari on a captivating journey of personal transformation, where she shares her extraordinary story of change, transition, and profound self-discovery. Through the principles of becoming, attracting, and creating, JJ invites your audience to embark on a transformative quest, unlocking their true selves, reigniting their dormant dreams, and rediscovering their innate creative abilities. This is an invitation to explore becoming, attracting, and creating, and to place your audience on their own path to a remarkable life transformation.

    • Learn to recognise and activate your innate creative power to become the architect of your live.
  • Fear into confidence
    FEAR has a long history in the human psyche. Everyone is afraid of something. Fear has been passed down down the years like a family heirloom by those we are meant to trust: family, friends, classmates, instructors, and authorities. Fear is held responsible for the majority of negative events that occur in our lives. Surprisingly, successful people seek out fear in all situations in order to make inspired decisions in the face of adversity when others might be afraid to take on the task. JJ has learned that fear is simply an energy that can be transformed into courage and confidence. She demonstrates to an audience that they do not want to become "fearless," but rather fear less. As JJ points out, if you realise that fear isn't a foe but rather a natural part of our makeup, you may learn to conquer previous anxieties and embrace its insights as a powerful friend.

    • How JJ's lack of understanding of fear nearly killed her during her transition.
    • How to convert the power of fear into success.

    • How to rethink the way you perceive fear, pain, failure, setbacks, losses, and other negative experiences.

By understanding these ideas participants learn how to become exceptional allies and empower others. More importantly, JJ's presentation highlights something unexpected, the universal need we all have for allies.

  • Leading from personal transformation
    When I embarked on my gender transition 10 years ago, I was clueless about what lay ahead. It wasn't as simple as setting goals and taking massive action; it was a daunting, uncharted journey. Desperate for guidance, I searched for answers but came up empty-handed. I realised I was alone in this, solely responsible for my own outcomes. So, I grabbed a blank notebook, and crafted a survival guide, drawing from my past successes and failures. I finally found a way out of the chaos, preserving my sanity. Now, 10 years later, I not only rely on these same tools that saw me through tough times, I also teach others to harness them for dealing with conflict resolution, resilience in chaos, and leadership through personal transformations. In this thought-provoking presentation, I will share my story of how embracing change has fuelled my journey towards an exceptional transformation. My aim is to guide the audience in recognising the transformative power within themselves and show them how to harness it to become impactful leaders who inspire and empower your teams to achieve greatness.
    Key takeaways:
    • Recognise that everyone goes through transitions in their lives, whether personal or professional.
    • Foster empathy and create a sense of solidarity with others.
    • Learn to cultivate adaptability to navigate through change successfully.
    • Take charge and become active in your personal and professional transformations.
    • Research, explore, and learn from others' experiences to gain valuable insights and perspectives.
    • How to share your knowledge and experiences to create a supportive community.

    JJ Ferrari is well-known for her abilities as a speaker, storyteller, and communicator.
    She's written books about selling yourself and coached tens of thousands of salespeople, negotiators, lawyers, and everyday individuals who want to enhance their careers.
