Speaking Topics

Through humorous and vulnerable personal stories, Jess Diamond introduces the three degrees of special: the celebration, the exception, and the individual. Audiences will learn how to stop chasing external validation, overcome the isolation of comparison, and build the kind of self-trust that lasts long after the applause fades.

A 45 minute workshop where attendees learn to identify where/who they typically seek out information from, how it’s influenced their beliefs and fears, and choose a path that is their own – not one that was built for them or expected of the them. It helps people learn to think for themselves and take action towards a life that is their own, regardless of external pressures.

"Jess Diamond was able to relate to my students and provide them with key exercises that helped them develop amazing tools to be able to create change. She was able to break down the presentation into a series of guiding questions and activities that helped students develop a great tool box to be able to learn, grow and build confidence to create social change. She is great! We have been having her come for years now and every student leaves positive feedback for us about her workshop." Topic: Using Confidence To Create Change
