THE GRIT FRAMEWORK
This keynote is powered by Jenny’s proven GRIT Framework, a four-part system that equips leaders to move with confidence in the face of rapid change and ambiguity.
Each pillar is brought to life with stories, prompts, and take-home tools that turn abstract disruption into actionable leadership. This framework isn’t theory, it’s a mindset shift your audience will start applying before they even leave the room.

Clarity is your competitive edge. Set a clear direction, even when the future feels uncertain.
Reinvent Relentlessly
Adapt fast. Leaders who thrive in the AI era disrupt themselves before someone else does.
Invest in Courageous Action
Bold decisions are the new baseline. Don’t wait for permission, move with purpose.
Thrive Through the Unknown
Real leadership means moving forward before you have all the answers.
WHY JENNY?
Jenny Stojkovic didn’t grow up with connections, capital, or a clear path to success. Raised in a small Canadian farm town by a blind father and a mother who worked as a grocery store cashier, she learned early how to bet on herself.
She earned a full scholarship by cold-pitching a billionaire, broke into Silicon Valley with zero contacts, and rose to lead global policy work for Google, Meta, and Airbnb.
Today, she’s one of the youngest female venture capitalists in the U.S., having invested $25M into mission-driven brands. She also built a global media platform spotlighting rising female entrepreneurs, featured by Good Morning America, Fortune, and Fast Company.
Jenny knows firsthand that in moments of disruption, technical skills alone aren’t enough. The real edge is mindset.
Her Why
Not Me? philosophy and GRIT Framework were born from a career of leading through uncertainty. Now, she teaches teams how to do the same, especially in an AI-first world, where clarity, courage, and bold action matter more than ever.
