About This Speaker: Jill Payne

Jill Payne is a high-impact performance coach, celebrity trainer, and an award-winning author. She created Energy Management, a powerful framework for building emotional capacity, equipping leaders and their teams to thrive under pressure. As a keynote speaker, her immediately usable tools have been sought after by some of the world’s most demanding organizations, including Google, NASA, McDonald’s, and Arc’teryx. For corporate leaders and event planners who need tangible results, Jill Payne provides a clear, science-backed path to improved performance and well-being.

Her approach is built on a unique foundation of experience. As a former national-level athlete, Jill Payne pursued a deep understanding of human performance. Subsequently, she earned degrees in Human Kinetics and Education and holds a Master’s in Workplace Wellness and Exercise Science. Her path, however, took a unique turn when she moved to Costa Rica. While there, she directed a nonprofit school and became a celebrity trainer. This work consequently led to corporate speaking opportunities where she began translating elite training principles into transformative tools for resilience, focus, and leadership.

From that foundation, Jill Payne developed her signature Energy Management framework. This method provides science-informed, practical strategies to help support self-awareness, self-regulation, and emotional intelligence, especially in high-performance environments. Recognizing the universal need for these skills, she expanded her career in New York City, where she launched a world-class coaching program and now certifies other professionals in her impactful method. Her book, Be a Dime, further solidifies her authority, winning Gold at the Foreword INDIES Book Awards.

Whether in a boardroom or on a conference stage, Jill’s mission is the same. Ultimately, she helps people manage their energy so they can show up as their best selves.
