Free Time is not about working as little as possible. It is about freeing our mind, time, and team to do more of our best work—and experiencing true presence and renewal during the time we have off.

Life-giving businesses energize everyone who participates in them, from the owner to team members to clients and community.

Jenny Blake at SXSW — Keynote Speaker

The Antidote to Boredom, Bottlenecks, and Burnout

Virtual or In-Person Interactive Events

 

Building on the success of her popular Pivot career development programs that help people map what’s next, Jenny is now offering three Free Time tracks to help participants free up precious time and energy within what’s now.

 

For Companies

Team Members

Jenny’s signature interactive keynote for employees walks participants through the Free Time Framework—Align, Design, Assign—to move from overwhelm toward a sense of ease, flow, and possibility.

Together they will:

  • Identify friction areas (personally and professionally)

  • Learn a process for continually moving toward greater flow

  • Better leverage their strengths and smarter systems

Team members will leave feeling relieved, with powerful new language and tools for managing their time, energy, and workflow.

 

Leaders

In parallel, consider an interactive keynote for managers, who are often stretched in multiple directions, stressed from increased responsibility and distraction. The session provides an opportunity for managers to:

  • Step back from day-to-day operations to work on their team, not just in their team

  • Apply the Free Time Framework to relinquish their role as Chief Question Answerers (and team bottleneck)

  • Facilitate Design-Your-Role conversations with team members to achieve better person-to-project fit, and

  • Double how much they delegate freeing them up to make their highest and most impactful contribution to the organization.

For Conferences

Small Business Owners

Entrepreneurs, particularly the 25 million running small businesses, are often juggling dozens of hats as Chief Everything Officers. Bring Jenny in for an interactive keynote to address the Burdensome B’s: the fact that many business owners are bottlenecked, bored, buried by bureaucracy, or burning out.

Jenny will facilitate an interactive keynote to help small business owners reflect, identifying where they are experiencing friction vs. flow in their company.

Working individually and in small pairs or groups, participants will leave with clarity on solutions to free up more of their time and energy for their highest contribution, trusting team members to take care of the rest.

 

All sessions will address the ever-changing business tides of our times, including practical strategies for navigating flexible schedules, remote work, distributed teams, and bringing ourselves back from the brink of burnout and overwhelm.

 

Praise for Jenny’s Keynotes

 

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Jenny! As keynote speakers for Top Talent Summit and the audience not only loved her content but her sense of vulnerability that made her relatable and memorable. I’m looking forward to the next opportunity to invite her back to rock our stage again with authenticity, while taking our delegates on an unforgettable journey to discover themselves.”

— Shahid Wazed, Founder of the Top Talent Summit

 

“I just wanted to thank you once again for being part of our event in New York. You killed your session—and I heard later that our CEO was listening from the green room and liked it very much. :)

I personally took away some actionable steps toward my own goals and want to continue to work your method, and I heard similar things from others in attendance.”

— ZenDesk, Relate Live Keynote
