Overview

Leaders are expected to drive innovation, yet many rely on outdated maps to navigate a radically changed world. The pandemic reshaped how we relate, contribute, and create—leaving old ways obsolete. We’ve retreated into silos, prioritized transactions over collaboration, and stalled trust and adaptability. To move forward, leaders need a new map built on authenticity, collaboration, and imagination. This talk helps leaders decode their shifting landscape and equips them with creative narrative coaching tools to navigate the paradoxes of modern leadership.

What to expect

Not Just Another Talk… An Experience You Won’t Want to End
Most events follow a predictable pattern: attendees walk in hopeful, only to quickly realize that what they wanted and what’s delivered are worlds apart. They settle in, check the time, and wonder, How long do I have to endure this?

Not here. Not with us.

We’re committed to flipping that script—fast. From the moment you step in, we shift your thinking from How long will I suffer? to I never want this to end.

Our talks aren’t passive knowledge dumps—they're immersive experiences filled with connection, deep reflection, and refreshingly uncommon conversations. We don’t just speak at you; we invite you into the dialogue, shaping the session into something uniquely valuable to you.

This isn’t just another talk—it’s an experience designed to challenge, energize, and stay with you long after it’s over. Are you ready?

About

Meet Jennie & Tirzah: The Coaching Disruptors Redefining Leadership
Forget formulaic coaching. Jennie Antolak and Tirzah Marie Lewis aren’t here to teach you how to advise, connect dots, or pinpoint blind spots. They lead Learning Journeys, a powerhouse of unconventional coaching, where the goal isn’t having answers—it’s unlocking human potential.

With 43+ years of experience, Jennie (MCC-certified, with a degree in Communications and a Master’s in Organizational Leadership Development) and Tirzah (PCC-credentialed with an Organizational Communications degree) don’t just talk about coaching and leadership—they live it. They experiment, push boundaries, and embrace failures as fuel for growth.

Their talks and classes aren’t about playing it safe—they challenge leaders to ditch outdated playbooks, trust the process, and lead with intuition instead of outside validation. If you're ready to rethink leadership, embrace the unknown, and unleash your true influence, Jennie and Tirzah will show you how—mess and all.

Additional booking notes

We can speak with or without slides and a projector. Our top 3 requests are providing seating for people so they can engage in comfortable conversation, ensuring the room is a comfortable temp (pls not freezing), and that there is plenty of water and refreshments.
