Jane Jenkins Herlong
CSP, CPAE
SC, USJane inspires folks with truth using humor. There are a lot of performers who make people laugh, and there are a lot of speakers who give audiences solid principles for living. Jane does both.
"You made me laugh, think and conquer my stress."
From farm fields to fame, Jane Jenkins Herlong is a Sirius XM Humorist and international best-selling author. Alongside Jeff Foxworthy, Ray Romano, and Jerry Seinfeld, her comedy is known far and wide. Not just a funny lady, Jane is also an international best-selling author. She's churned out five award-winning books, each one more Southern-fried than the last. Her latest gem, "Sweet Tea Secrets from the Deep Fried South," is on the shelves of Cracker Barrel nationwide and is being optioned for an upcoming film.
Jane is a member of the Speaker Hall of Fame.
In speaking, Jane holds a place in the Speaker Hall of Fame, next to Ronald Reagan and the late General Colin L. Powell. She also earned the title of Certified Speaking Professional and recently was inducted into the Legends of Speaking in Washington D.C.
You Can't Do that
Jane faced her share of "You can't do thats" in her life, thanks to the dyslexic label stamped on her early on. But she just laughed, probably snorted, and transformed every "NO" into a "NEXT." You see, Jane believes that humor is the WD-40 of life—it makes everything run more smoothly. Jane shows crowds how to wrestle stress to the ground, and then high-five it out the door—all with a grin and a "watch me" attitude.
Her vocal talents earned her features on Sirius XM, Pandora, Spotify, and Amazon. She speaks in four languages: English, Southern, Northern, and Lowcountry Gullah (gul-la).
Jane journeyed from the rows of her family’s Lowcountry tomato farm to the runway of the Miss America Pageant and then to Radio City Music Hall. She finished college with top honors and attended graduate school. Her message helps people change "NOs" into "NEXTs," one laugh at a time.
Whether sharing wisdom or humor, Jane Jenkins Herlong is an act you won't want to miss.
Simon & Shuster Publishing House says of Jane: Jane Jenkins Herlong’s blend of Southern humor and folksy wisdom is just priceless. She deserves to be right up there with Anita Renfroe and Chonda Pierce- in some ways, she’s even better. The more suburban and bland our culture gets, the more precious genuine Southern culture like this becomes.

Verificado @aol.comWe are still counting our blessings here in High Point, NC for our good fortune in having Jane Jenkins Herlong as our speaker for our Pink Ribbon Luncheon. We have about 525 women join us for our Luncheon event every May and this year, Jane was a HUGE hit. Women and men are still talking months later about our terrific speaker. Jane was more fun than we could have imagined and she delivers a heartfelt message of hope and courage formed by her life experiences. Jane keeps you laughing...no doubt the best medicine ever...and she makes you think about how fortunate we are to be who we are. Jane's sings like a Broadway performer and you can easily see why she was in the Miss American Pageant. Jane is Southern to the core and will entertain you with her southern charm. We loved Jane so much that we have invited her to come back in three years for our 15th Anniversary. We can't wait!

They were laughing, hanging on every word and the overall mood was happy. Through her brilliant (and hilarious) storytelling and inspirational tone, Jane delivered an impactful message to our group. They felt empowered, encouraged and motivated to own their "runway," because Jane told them not only how, but why and that she believed they could. I highly recommend Jane to any group looking for a reminder of the importance of laughter and believing in yourself.

Jane delivered flawlessly on stage and off. She was genuine, entertaining, and wonderful to talk to. She was one of the last people at our event, because everyone just kept wanting to talk to her more. You couldn't ask for a better speaker for our crowd."
