Jen Fry

Owner/CEO

Dr. Jen Fry (she/her) is a Sports Geographer, tech founder, TEDx speaker, and sought-after speaker and educator. She owns JenFryTalks, an organizational change firm that sits at the intersection of conflict and culture. It specializes in transforming organizational dynamics by addressing how conflict and culture shape leadership and overall business outcomes.

We work with leaders and teams to navigate and resolve conflicts that arise from differences, promoting an environment where diverse perspectives are tolerated and harnessed as a source of innovation and growth. By combining cutting-edge leadership strategies with a deep understanding of humans and trauma, JenFryTalks helps organizations build resilient, adaptive leadership models that thrive in today’s complex world. Through facilitating conversation, skill-building, tailored coaching, workshops, and strategic advisory services, the team members understand how to engage, speak, listen, hear, interpret, and respond constructively, making them and their teams more likely to leverage conflict rather than be leveled by it. She received her PhD in Sports Geography from Michigan State University (GO GREEN!).

JenFryTalks is a organizational change firm that sits at the intersection of conflict and culture.

"We invited Jen to speak with our student-athletes and staff this past spring. Jen has a gift of being brutally honest, open and transparent with her audiences in a way most speakers do not have the courage to approach. She finds a healthy balance of challenge and support to make everyone understand that the issues of race, inclusion, diversity and intersectionality is necessary work that is not reserved for the few, but for all. Our staff and student-athletes enjoyed the small breakout sections to be able to connect with their peers and have real, vulnerable dialogue with each other. Her ability to be candid and real was refreshing and created conversations that continue on today in our department. I would recommend Jen to anyone looking for a great facilitator and educator to empower their students and staff to take inventory of their growth areas and call to action to make positive change."

DISRUPTION Candle | 4 or 11 oz

PINK SUGAR + LEMONGRASS

Feminist and Anti- Racist work is tough. “It requires that you be willing to devote a great part of your life to it and that you be willing to suffer alienation and self-disruption.” – Lugones and Spelman

This candle was crafted in the vein of disrupting through conversation, an ode to the work of Jen Fry. Sweet pink sugar and airy lemongrass combine to create these juicy fresh accords. Notes of orange, cotton candy and powder are layered with citrus oils for a bright and fresh herbal delight.
