As a dynamic speaker, Jennifer Logan is an expert in topics related to negotiation, leadership, achieving goals, being selfless, personal development, being purposeful, staying encouraged, and more. She has extensive experience in grooming leaders to reach their maximum potential. With her skills and expertise, Jennifer designs strategic and individualized plans to help professionals excel in their career.

Jennifer has a lot of experience in handling the HR needs of retail giants like Target, Lowe’s, Sam’s Club and Walmart. She has the skills and ability to help reduce organizational risk by addressing employee performance. With such a high level of expertise in HR, leadership and motivational speaking, forming performance driven teams was easy.

What motivated and inspired you to start your own business?  

I always fantasied about being a business owner. I went to a college business competition and saw these young adults creating successful businesses and it was exciting. I worked for Sam’s Club and met countless entrepreneurs living out their dreams as a business owner and it was inspiring to see these entrepreneurs doing what they always wanted. Lastly, I became a part of book collaboration late last year. The book was about the being a mom and entrepreneurship – that was my final push to becoming an entrepreneur.

What has been the most effective way of raising awareness of your business and getting new customers? 

Attending conferences, speaking in conferences around the world, networking and advertising.

What have been your biggest challenges so far? 

I had to learn how to monetize my services and feel confident in the pricing I offered.

How did you overcome these challenges? 

I hired a coach. I invested in myself and learned the aspects of the business I was not comfortable about.

How do you keep motivated through difficult times? 

I shifted my thinking. I know hard times are unavoidable. I also know they are temporary. I value every second. Therefore, I evaluate what aspect of the hard times I can control and do something about it. Then I focus on what is good and meditate on that. In addition, I focus on the other tasks and responsibilities that require my attention.

How do you distinguish yourself from your competitors?  

I don’t offer false promises. I am authentically a guru at what I do. I have years on top of years of validated experience with major corporations and now I am using my transferable skills to live out my dream as an entrepreneur.
