Keynote #1 (New)
Illness Proof Your Life and Your Business
One of the last thing you may be thinking about as a business owner or freelance employee is the very real possibility that one day you may be stopped in your tracks by the diagnosis or sudden onset of a critical illness.
Unlike employees, the luxury of paid sick time is not an option. If you are a solopreneur or small business owner, you may not have a backup person with the expertise or passion to run the business and provide the continuity of services your clients have come to rely on.
So, what is your plan if an accident, health, or family crisis hits when you least expect it?
Jen DeTracey speaks from personal experience as she sheds light on the profound effect of being diagnosed with a critical illness ten years into the running of her own marketing consulting and training business. Post-diagnosis, she was unsure if she’d be able to continue the work she loves, and more importantly, support herself financially. Now, over 13 years later, Jen continues to actively run her business, having up a lifestyle with her health and energy levels in mind.
In this eye-opening and inspiring keynote, Jen shares her story and imparts her hard-earned wisdom on the ripple effect this life-changing moment had in her life and work, and most importantly, the steps you can take to illness-proof your own business.
This program is perfect for:
• Solopreneurs and Business Owners
• Health practitioners – Massage, Chiropractic, Doctors, Dentists etc.
• Startup Business Owners
• Multilevel Marketers
• Contract Employees
• Employees without adequate health insurance
The audience will:
• Learn how to prepare for the worst-case scenario
• Discover empowering steps to take before and after a health crisis
• Find resilience when the most challenging situations arise
• Feel inspired by new ways of thinking (gratitude & appreciation)
• Learn how to face adversity head on in during trying times
Interactive Keynote: 30 – 50 minutes
**Thirteen years into Jen’s business and just three years into her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, she was hired by Canada Life, Great West Life, Freedom 55, Manulife, CIBC and ABEX to keynote for insurance agent training events.

Keynote #4
Selling Insurance from the Client’s Perspective
Selling insurance has become an important and primary profit tool for financial advisors and brokers. In a volatile global marketplace, insurance products offer stability for both sellers and purchasers.
I have experienced firsthand how the market’s instability since 2008 has impacted my life. I have also purchased a number of insurance products over the years which have provided me with a sense of stability; I never seriously considered how important and grateful I would become when faced with changing life circumstances.
As a marketing strategist, business consultant, trainer, professional speaker and a person who now lives with a critical illness, I have developed an interactive and customizable keynote geared towards those who sell insurance.
Selling Insurance – How To Avoid Leaving Money On The Table
This presentation is an interactive presentation which can include the following elements:
- My story and perceptions of buying insurance
- Why I purchased CI insurance
- How CI insurance saved my life
- What I didn’t know and regret – if only my insurance person had told me!
- How my insurance person kept me as a customer despite my upset regarding lack of information provided
- How selling from the heart translates to more sales and happier long-term customers
