Top reasons to hire Jillian as your motivational speaker in Australia

Leading Authority

Jillian is a leading authority on Adversity & Resilience. Her unique story has spawned a Kirkus-reviewed book, A Voice Out of Poverty, which is currently subject to adaptation into film. It’s a story that details her rise from the slums of Calcutta, India where she would lose four her siblings to poverty and malnutrition.

​

But she went on to overcome her setbacks and take on leading roles as a banking executive in top banks, including the Bank of America and RBS. Her corporate handbook, The Irrepressible Mind, relays her climb to the top before she bowed out on her terms to pursue public speaking and coaching.
