Why New York industry leaders book Jennifer

Technology leadership audiences are skeptical of soft-skills training — for good reason. Most of it is theatrical. Jennifer Edwards's work has shaped leadership at Microsoft, Google, and Intel precisely because it is grounded in behavioral neuroscience that engineering and product leaders can actually verify. Her keynotes give technical leaders a model for the conversations that scale or stall a roadmap: cross-functional escalations, performance reviews, executive alignment, and the daily small-stakes interactions that compound into team trust.

New York technology leadership has grown into one of the largest tech employer markets in the country — fintech, ad tech, media tech, and a fast-expanding enterprise SaaS ecosystem. Jennifer's Fortune 100 tech portfolio (Microsoft, Google, Intel) and media credibility (Inc. Magazine, Forbes, Wall Street Journal) give her technology keynote credibility with NYC audiences, and her behavioral neuroscience framing speaks across the city's increasingly technical leadership market.

Signature keynotes for New York audiences

Presence Is Medicine

The leadership skill nobody taught you and every brain needs. Why neurological safety — not theoretical safety — is the precondition for clear thinking, open collaboration, and trust.

Talking to the Brain in Front of You

A neuroscience-based operating system for the conversations that shape culture, performance, and trust. The three questions every brain silently asks before it can engage.

Bridge the Gap (Workshop)

A practical framework — recognized by Inc. Magazine — for engaging resistant teams in diversity, equity, and inclusion conversations without the usual backfire.
