Highly experienced Virtual presenter.

Virtual Presentations

Clients often choose to start with the foundations of introverted leadership including understanding the strengths and challenges that introverts face daily and how successful introverted leaders apply these assets. We build on that knowledge by teaching the principles of quiet influence across and beyond the organization by demonstrating how all of us can leverage our quiet introvert strengths. We then focus on how to create highly functioning teams of introverts and extroverts. We call these partnerships “genius opposites.” Our newest groundbreaking presentation is focused on how to shift organizations into ones that unleash introvert talent.

The virtual program option allows a global cross section of your employees to learn and gain tangible tools in a highly interactive and creative environment. Introverts and extroverts all benefit from this type of learning, both live and on demand.

Each presentation is accompanied by a companion book.

This gives participants an opportunity to engage in focused conversations and problem solving around actions they committed to take in the master classes and keynotes. They share successes, present challenges, and receive peer feedback in a safe, trusted environment.

Jennifer was the keynote speaker for one of the corporate lunch and learns at our company. In addition to the live audience, the event was live-streamed to our remote locations. Jennifer did an amazing job engaging the people in the room and recognizing the remote participants. Her talk was engaging, generating lots of audience participation during the event and lots of conversation on the topic of Introverted Leadership after the event. Jennifer also provided follow up materials to share with our employees to keep the conversation going. She was funny, provided interesting facts and appealed to both the introverts and the extroverts.

The course was absolutely fantastic! I have seen nothing like it in my 30+ years in project management. Being an introvert, it is was great to see the information presented regarding strengths that introverts bring to the table and also, the skills that can be fostered so that your voice and actions are recognized.

The Introverted Leader

Too many introverts assume—or have been told—that to rise through the ranks they have to change who they are. But you don’t have to pretend to be an extrovert to get to the top. Just look at Mark Zuckerberg, Arianna Huffington, or Warren Buffet—all self-identified introverts who have done quite well for themselves…

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Kahnweiler at a PMI Atlanta event where she was the keynote speaker. She was on point from the time of booking to the end of the event. It was obvious that Jennifer cares about her audience as she took great care to understand them and relate to them. That she is an accomplished author on the topic of understanding introvert and extrovert personality traits, reconfirms her commitment and passion. Her recommendations for project managers were well received by our PMI group. I am honored to recommend Ms. Kahnweiler as a leader, motivator and speaker.
