Why Jaz Ampaw-Farr Is the Keynote Speaker Your Audience Has Been Waiting For

Across the United States, Jaz Ampaw-Farr is using her British accent and endless charm to leave audiences breathless, energized, and, most importantly, transformed. She's an experience. A movement. A full-room awakening.

Recent events tell the story:

American Planning Association: Jaz took a room full of planning professionals and sent them home with a new sense of what's possible. Not just inspired. Changed. Attendees described leaving with a renewed sense of purpose and the language to articulate why their work matters.

Sales & Marketing Executives, Inc. of Sioux Falls - Women in Business: At this women's professional gathering, Jaz didn't just take the stage, she owned the entire day. She arrived before the room filled, connected with organizers over the details that matter, and delivered a session that had attendees laughing, crying, and cheering within minutes of each other. Her messaging wrapped its arms around every woman in it and reminded them why they show up.

Here's what makes Jaz unlike almost anyone else on the speaking circuit:

She shows up fully, and she stays.

Jaz doesn't deliver a speech and disappear. She arrives early. She grabs lunch with the planners. She mingles in the lobby, signs books no matter the line length, and holds conversations that people will tell their friends and family about for years. She makes every single audience member feel seen and every client feel heard.

She speaks to everyone.

From teachers in a school auditorium to C-suite executives in a ballroom, Jaz meets people exactly where they are. As a former educator herself, she knows how to move a room, whether that room holds 30 students or 3,000 professionals.

She brings the energy. All of it.

Jaz is real, raw, and ridiculously good at what she does. Her message "The Power to Be 10% Braver" is a rallying cry that travels home with every single person who hears it. All you have to do is check out her Linkedin tagged posts to see it firsthand.

Why "10% Braver" Works for Any Audience

Jaz's signature keynote, The Power to Be 10% Braver, helps individuals and organizations unlock the courage to show up more fully at work, in leadership, and in life. The message is practical, personal, and deeply moving. It resonates across industries and roles because it speaks to something universal: the gap between who we are and who we know we can be.

The genius of Jaz's message is its accessibility. She doesn't ask her audiences to overhaul their lives or perform impossible acts of courage. She asks for 10% more—one conversation you've been avoiding, one idea you've been sitting on, one moment where you choose to show up instead of shrink back.

That ask is small enough to feel possible and large enough to matter. It's why the message sticks across such wildly different contexts: a school staff room in the morning and a sales conference in the afternoon.
