Jenny Segal
Speaker | Author
“Segal has that rare gift of combining emotional and intellectual intelligence which makes for fantastic listening”
Drawing on her leadership career in finance and some extremely challenging life experiences, Jenny offers insights and practical techniques to motivate, build resilience and create cultures people want to work in.
With her love of photography, cinema and reportage, she combines the power of personal stories with colourful imagery to connect with and move her audience, ensuring her messages resonate long after the end of the session.
Her services include:
thought-provoking speeches and panel discussions
leadership training and development
facilitated workshops, bookclubs and team building
consultancy.
“We reached out to Jenny to ask for her help in designing and delivering a development programme for our leadership team. From our first conversation and throughout our work, I felt completely enthused and inspired by her overall approach, passion, creativity and her quick grasp and understanding of what we wanted to achieve.
Jenny designed and delivered a bespoke programme for us that entirely met the brief and more! The leadership team benefited from content that was engaging, interactive and hugely practical and all delivered creatively with a range of different methods that worked very successfully. The 16 leaders who took part all gave positive feedback on how much they enjoyed the sessions and they've already started to use some of the learning and ideas from the programme to enhance their management style and approach to problem-solving.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jenny, and I hope we'll be able to work with her again in future.”
