about

Jill Salzman turns the mundane into inspiration and transforms the impossible into the achievable. Through defying expectations and breaking the rules, she succeeds in inspiring entrepreneurs to figure out what works for them by using meaningful action to create positive results. Jill is the author of The Best Business Book In The World* (*According To My Mom) and the Amazon best-seller, Found It: A Field Guide for Mom Entrepreneurs. She’s shared the speaker stage with Richard Branson, Sheryl Sandberg, Daymond John, Marilu Henner, and Desmond Tutu among others, and professed her love of Eddie Vedder in her TEDx talk on 11/11/11. She hosts the top-rated entertaining business podcast, Why Are We Shouting?, a question she asks herself daily. CNNMoney calls her a “mogul.” MSN Live says she’s a “Cool Entrepreneur We Love” and Forbes rated her a Top 100 Champion Small Business Influencer. When she’s not speaking to audiences in patterned leggings or podcasting from her basement, she fruitlessly tries to convince her daughters that cassette tapes actually existed.

reviews

Jill was outstanding! We invited her to get our morning going and deliver a motivational talk, and she certainly delivered. She kept us engaged, spoke directly, and impressed everyone in attendance. We look forward to having her return to our event next year. Highly recommend her!!

GE Chicago has an Annual summit that is hosted by the local GE Women’s Network hub. Each year we carefully choose both internal and external speakers to match the theme of our summit. Jill’s talk, titled “Bringing It, Elevating It, and Crushing It: Using Your Power to Succeed” included her story of being a “serial entrepreneur” and was a huge hit with the audience. The kudos from our participants included comments like “Since Jill’s talk I am taking more risks!” Jill was an absolute delight to work with in setting up the event and collaborated flawlessly to ensure that her messages flowed nicely with the focus of the summit. I highly recommend having Jill speak at your next event, you will not be disappointed!

Jill Salzman was absolutely the star of United Women Entrepreneurs’ annual conference. Her presence energized and set the tone for the entire day. She was not only engaging and totally fun, but she also offered practical tips for our entrepreneurial group that they could take away and implement immediately. Thank you Jill for an amazing day and for help making our event such a success! See you next year!

Jill hosted our TEDxNaperville and we needed a host who could bring energy to the event. Jill delivered, and delivered BIG.

Getting a full day conference style audience to keep pace and keep energized was no easy task, but Jill handled it with a natural flair.
