Speaking

Bring the inside-out message to your stage.

Chris and Jillian speak — individually and together — on the conviction at the heart of Aligned: external excellence is built on internal mastery.

Whether your audience is founders, executives, or a team navigating change, the message lands the same way: the outer results everyone wants are built on inner work most people skip.

On stage — keynote moment, audience
Chris & Jillian on stage together
The duet keynote

External excellence through internal mastery — together on stage.

Our signature offering is a two-voice keynote. Chris brings the inner game — the systems, patterns, and leadership work beneath every result. Jillian brings the embodied, lived side — what it actually takes to build, scale, and lead through pressure without losing yourself. Together they model the both/and at the center of Aligned, and the interplay between the two perspectives is what makes it memorable.

  • What makes it different
  • Two distinct, complementary voices
  • A lived founder's journey paired with decades of transformational practice
  • Practical and embodied, not just inspirational
The speakers

Two voices — on their own or together.

Chris Sarris — speaking

Chris Sarris

The inner game of leadership.

Chris speaks to the work underneath the work — the leader's inner state, the patterns running their decisions, and the three systems every company depends on. Drawing on more than two decades and 20,000+ hours of transformational practice, he helps audiences see why outer success keeps stalling until the inner work is done. Grounded, direct, and quietly challenging.

Best for: founder and executive audiences, leadership summits, culture- and growth-focused events.

Jillian Lorenz — speaking

Jillian Lorenz

Embodied leadership and resilience.

Jillian speaks from the founder's chair and the body both. Having co-founded, scaled, and exited a nationally ranked franchise, she pairs hard-won operating experience with the embodied work — nervous-system regulation, presence, and resilience — that lets leaders stay grounded and lead under pressure. Practical, energizing, and real.

Best for: founder audiences, women's leadership events, and culture, wellbeing, and resilience themes.
