ABOUT OUR SPONSOR

MEET OUR PANEL

JO BAKER (Speaker)

Jo Baker is a bestselling author of Saving Myself: The Quintessential Guide to Building a Budget, Getting Out of Debt and Living Your Dream Life, and a confident, seasoned speaker who has been sharing her voice on stages for more than 18 years.

But her journey didn’t start with confidence—it started with fear, self-doubt, and a shaky voice that almost stopped her before she even began.

What Jo has learned over the years is that public speaking isn’t just about what you say—it’s about who you believe yourself to be while you're saying it. It’s not just nerves you have to work through, it’s mindset. It’s believing that your story matters, that your voice deserves space, and that you don’t need to be perfect to be powerful.

Jo brings all of this into every room she steps into. With a warm and grounded presence, she creates spaces where women can practice, stumble, laugh, and rise—because she knows that’s where real growth happens. Whether you're whispering your story for the first time or ready to own the front of the room, Jo is here to gently remind you that your voice matters, your story is enough, and you already have everything you need to be heard.
