Virtual Meetings & Experiences
High-energy programs and trainings led by Jess Pettitt
Driving Inclusion and Diversity Initiatives Through Virtual Meetings, Trainings and Seminars!
Work From Home, Back To Work, Hybrid…
COVID may have changed your workplace model, but that likely didn’t do much to solve your Diversity and Inclusion issues. That’s because DEI is much less about where people work together and so much more about how they work together.
Whether your organization is WFH, BTW, or Hybrid, your people need to know you’ve got their backs when it comes to company culture. So… pop quiz! (Don’t worry! It’s multiple choice):
What should you do when you need to get a vital, unifying message to all your employees through a shared experience, but getting everyone together physically is impossible? And how do you ensure that the message will have the same impact it would have if you were all physically together?
- Hold a Jess Pettitt Virtual Event
- All of the above
You’re right!
This isn’t Jess’s first rodeo, so let’s get to work!

See What Others Are Saying About Jess
“Jess presented at our annual virtual Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion conference and was AMAZING! She was funny, relatable, and insightful! Our attendees LOVED her. The chat was active the entire time, and many attendees said they couldn’t wait to go back and watch the recording again. Jess’ keynote was the perfect way to wrap up our conference! Thank you, Jess!”
Courtney Lamers
““We contracted with Jess to do several virtual presentations, and we—as well as our participants—were floored by her energy as much as we learned from her vast experience and research. She is as funny as she is thought-provoking around very challenging topics with a fresh approach that keeps audiences from straying away from a virtual platform.” ”
Jasmine Manalo, Sr.
Community Manager, FitPros
““2020 was the year of virtual conferences, and I quickly learned that sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours was not nearly as engaging as in-person events, at least for this EXTRA extrovert. But then I attended the Grant Professionals Association conference, emceed by the one and only Jess Pettitt. Having her uplifting spirit, encouraging words, and utter joy light up the computer screen between sessions was a definite highlight. She kept me feeling energized and excited to connect through the chat. Engaging the world virtually is a unique skill, and one that few possess—Jess has it in spades!” ”

““Our Equity Task Force was established with the initial goal of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in our workforce. With the help of Jess, we implemented a very successful small group assessment training program to help us to understand how we view ourselves versus how others view us. The training also helped us to create and implement an actionable corporate wide plan for meeting people where they are and helping them to get to where they aspire to be. Jess is hilarious which goes a long way in easing the tension of what can sometimes be difficult discussions. The webinars provided an opportunity for us to improve our personal and professional relationships through self-reflection and gain a better understanding of different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives.” ”

Leading Your Team Virtually
Jess’s virtual keynotes and workshops are produced, elevated events that far surpass run-of-the-mill virtual meetings. With the same energy, humor, poignant stories, and lessons from history, she’ll help your workforce find their new rhythm and navigate all the new emotions and interpersonal conflicts that can pop up as they face the challenges of a new work era and a more remote, and often more diverse, workforce.
Available Formats
Live Virtual Keynotes
Jess translates her on-stage energy through highly customized content and delivery. These sessions are preferably hosted over Zoom, live, and the recording can be an evergreen resource for you to use internally, however you like, forever. Jess monitors the chat and offers a texting number to respond to participants’ questions and comments in real time.
Virtual Workshops
Using customized content, breakout rooms, and real-time customizing worksheets, Jess educates, inspires, and empowers your people to take immediate action during and after the sessions. As with her virtual keynotes, these sessions are preferably hosted over Zoom, live, and the recording can be an evergreen resource for you to use internally, however you like, forever. Jess monitors the chat during these workshops and offers a texting number to respond to participants’ questions and comments in real time.
Virtual Event Emcee
As a host or master of ceremonies, Jess knows how to pull off an outstanding event that will engage your attendees for the duration, adapting her style to any virtual format or audience, while reinforcing your message or theme. For several of her clients, she goes the extra mile to spotlight sponsors and gives FOMO-level attention to both the in-person and at-home members of a hybrid audience.
Good Enough Now Book Club
Jess’s book Good Enough Now asks readers to do a lot of self-work, and after completing the many activities, some readers need a place to process the process. Over the course of four to five one-hour modules, Jess leads a casual conversation for readers (without personal disclosure that could feel invasive) to shepherd the learning. All discussion questions are at the back of the book, so no surprises, and there is even an online platform where participants can engage with other readers and get a certificate of completion.
Zoom DJ
Sometimes you need someone who can be an extra set of hands and can handle all of the details for your event and make magic happen. Jess can keep her video off, stay on mute, and run a tight virtual program so that you can simply attend, participate, and enjoy. She calls this “Zoom DJ-ing” because like an event DJ, she’s working behind the scenes, making the party happen.
Online Classes & Courses
Due to the sensitivity of the topics Jess covers, some are more comfortable learning at their own desks. Jess has created a variety of courses, contact her today to discuss which one would be perfect for you and your team.
