Let’s clear something up: being the boss and being a leader are not the same thing, and your team knows the difference. This interactive session helps supervisors, managers, and team leads uncover their natural leadership strengths while humorously calling out the habits that can make even the best intentions come across as bossy. Through real-world examples, laughter, and “aha” moments, JC guides participants to understand effective leadership, recognize how bossy behavior creates toxic workplaces, and gain practical tools to lead with confidence, clarity, and credibility without micromanaging or flexing authority.

We’ve all heard it: “Teamwork makes the dream work.” But let’s be honest. Sometimes teamwork feels less like a dream and more like a nightmare group project where one person does all the work. In this fun and interactive session, JC takes a fresh look at what teamwork really means in today’s workplace. Through relatable stories, real-life scenarios, and practical insights, participants learn how communication, accountability, and trust turn working together into working well together. Attendees walk away with simple, actionable strategies to contribute effectively, manage team dynamics, and build a team culture where collaboration feels natural and success is shared.

Let’s be honest, how you show up at work speaks volumes, even when you’re not saying a word. From body language and emails that should not have been sent to professional appearance and everyday interactions, small moments add up in big ways. With her high-energy approach, JC takes a fresh and entertaining look at professionalism and communication, not as a stuffy rulebook but as a smart business skill that protects credibility, culture, and careers. Participants walk away with practical, real-world strategies to communicate effectively, show up with confidence, and help create a workplace that is respectful, engaging, and more enjoyable for everyone.

Customers do not come with an instruction manual, and sometimes they show up already frustrated. In this lively keynote, JC takes a practical and humorous look at how to read the room, recognize what customers need, and respond in ways that build trust instead of tension. She explores common sources of conflict, decodes body language and tone, and breaks down different communication styles, equipping participants with fresh perspective and practical tools to turn challenging interactions into positive outcomes. The result? Stronger customer relationships, fewer awkward moments, and more confident, effective customer service professionals.
