Getting audiences to feel good about their life is exactly what Ann Jillian does, and in a very entertaining way.
Her TV movie, "The Ann Jillian Story" which recounted her victory over breast cancer was the #1 film of the TV season, but more importantly, it delivered Ann's message about the hopeful side of breast cancer to it's millions of viewers. Ann won the "Best Actress", Golden Globe Award for this poignant NBC television film. It also received two EMMY nominations for her and the film. With the birth of her son after cancer, she now adds the title "working Mom" to her impressive accomplishments.
Good Housekeeping Magazine named Ann one of the most admired women of the world. Her prowess extends from the worlds concert halls to feature film, and the Broadway stage, starred in over 25 TV movies, and hundreds of other TV appearances.

"If audience's are not having fun, then the important message got lost!"

ANN JILLIAN

Ann's most requested keynotes are the following:

"Never Had A Bad Day In My Life"

When audiences know that the person speaking to them has been through the toughest of times, both personally and professionally, the speaker can convince the audience that they never really had a "bad" day in their lives. Such realizations help to inspire and motivate those people onward in taking their own life to a more rewarding and satisfying level. Sometimes we get careless and forget the incredible possibilities that wait for us to seek them out. In such cases, Ann is able to help each individual listener focus more on the positive, attainable goals and less on the things that matter least.

"The Winner In You"

When Ann delivers this motivational lecture and states that "There Is A Winner in every one of you", audiences at once can see that she truly believes it. Ann has never met a person in whom she could not find potential. While you will laugh heartily at Ann's comical perspective of those she found more difficult to find "potential" in, the end result will be an audience motivated to identify and develop their own "Winner" from within to the utmost. Belief ignites belief and consumes those in its path with inspiration to rise to the occasion. Gently, humorously, sometimes poignantly, she draws the willing audience out of themselves and into her experiences, rekindling the fire, sometimes forgotten, of their own "belief" in themselves. You must still believe in your product and in yourself if you ever expect others to. I'm such an admirer of those great old songs that told us to ...(she sings a few bars here) "pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start all over again!", and when she sings from her song” The Winner In You", that ended her acclaimed "The Ann Jillian Story" movie, audiences go home with a renewed confidence in themselves and their own unique potential.

"Surviving & Thriving"

"Let's face it, the one thing we all have in common is the struggle to survive! Finding the recipe to thrive as well as survive in today's world, is not an easy task for anyone. Sometimes "reinvention" of yourself, your product, may be required. The old fashioned approach of making lemonade from those "lemons" life seems to like to roll our way." Watching and listening to Ann Jillian as she winds her way through her own numerous reinvention's, as we find out what worked and what didn't work in her business & personal life, is a formidable lesson that audiences have applied in their own lives with great success. The focus here is on what's really important to sustain not just 'survival', but a rewarding and fulfilled life. It's forward to basics and more. She will tell you the contents of her father-in-law "little gray travel case", that key to a life of excellence!

"A Conversation With Ann Jillian"

This is an informal conversation between Ann and the audience that can deal with all of the above or go off in other directions that the sponsor & audience really care about. It's friendly, informative, fun and can be intimate in most every way. "Up close and personal"...

Ann is a volunteer performer for St. Vincents Meals On Wheels (feed the elderly program), a lifetime board member of the American Cancer Society, and the St. Jude Children's Hospital. Ann also works for the USO, and the D.A.V. (Disabled American Veterans Hospital visiting program) and many other charities.
