Jill Brandenburg
When you embrace the realization that POSITIVITY IS OVERRATED - you can utilize that knowledge and that power that accompanies it -- to break down, brush it off and then move on.
ABOUT SPEAKER JILL
If you’ve ever been told to “just stay positive,” you know how hollow that feels. I teach audiences how to stop forcing positivity, feel their lives, and own their journeys — because resilience isn’t about pretending, it’s about being real.
Audiences walk away with the ability to:
* Respond with honesty instead of empty platitudes.
* Recognize and release toxic positivity in their workplaces and relationships.
* Embrace discomfort as the real path to resilience.
I bring this message to life through raw storytelling, humor, and hard-earned lessons from surviving cancer, navigating domestic violence, and building businesses through both success and failure. I don’t just talk about resilience — I live it.
If you’re ready for a keynote that sparks real conversations and leaves people stronger, not just “positive,” I’d love to connect.
SPEAKER JILL'S PROGRAMS
She offers a variety of formats:
- 10-minute TED-style talks

WHY HIRE SPEAKER JILL?
