EXPERIENCE Real Transformation

01. LEAVE INHERITED SCRIPTS BEHIND
Most of us live out stories we didn’t choose — roles shaped by family, culture and old beliefs about who we should be. Together we identify the scripts running your life, and start to realize new possibilities.
-
02. RECONNECT WITH AUTHENTICITY
When you stop performing for the world, and light up your own factory, you true power comes online. Through meditations and practical guidance you’ll learn to meet and cultivate the most creative and alive part of yourself — making decisions that truly resonate.
-
03. CREATE THE LIFE THAT'S YOURS
Transformation isn’t about fixing, it’s about finding deep alignment and making choices from there. Using my two step framework of Resonance and Responsibility, you’ll make decisions that lead to clarity, confidence and joy — a life that finally makes sense to you.

We often live as if we are supporting characters in someone else’s story—meeting expectations, maintaining roles, and trying to live up to narratives we didn’t consciously choose.
In this keynote, Jane Garnett introduces her signature framework: “We Are the Movie.” Drawing from her unique background in film and psychotherapy, she shows how the narratives we inherit shape our choices, relationships, and sense of possibility.
Through vivid examples and psychological insight, this talk explores how people can step out of unconscious roles and reclaim authorship of their lives. When we recognize that we are not just characters but also the writers and directors of our story, new possibilities for creativity, agency, and transformation emerge.

We all want to live as who we truly are, yet cultural expectations and inherited rules often leave us performing roles that don’t feel like our own. After a decade in Hollywood and more than twenty years as a therapist, Jane Garnett has seen how people try to resolve this tension—by blowing up their lives, living double lives, or quietly numbing out. In this keynote, she challenges the idea that your life has to “work out” like a Hollywood story and offers a simple two-step filter—resonance and responsibility—to help people leave inherited scripts behind and make choices that lead to a life that finally makes send to them.

3. The Erotic Now
Presence, Aliveness, and the Power of Being Fully Here
In modern culture, the word erotic is often reduced to sexuality. But in its deeper sense, the erotic refers to something far more fundamental: the experience of aliveness.
In this keynote, Jane Garnett explores the connection between presence, creativity, and what she calls the erotic quality of being fully alive in the present moment. Drawing from psychology, somatic work, and philosophy, she examines how our culture of constant striving and distraction disconnects us from this vitality.
When we learn to inhabit the present moment more fully—rather than chasing the next achievement or outcome—we rediscover a deeper source of energy, creativity, and connection.
This talk invites audiences to reconsider presence not as a soft skill, but as an incarnation of spirit — a powerful force for leadership, creativity, and meaningful living.
