The Raleigh Professional Women's Forum, a forum for accomplished, professional women to enhance their personal and professional development through education, interaction, and mutual support, is thrilled to welcome keynote speaker Jess Ekstrom to its June 12, 2026, monthly luncheon.
Jess will share insights from her newest book, Making It Without Losing It: How to Stay Motivated in a World Where We Are Never Done.
With warmth, humor, and real-world stories, she challenges hustle culture and offers practical mindset shifts for ambitious women who want to grow professionally without burning out or waiting for joy to come “later.”
Attendees will walk away inspired, refreshed, and equipped with tools to stay motivated, grounded, and fulfilled—no matter what season of leadership, career or life they’re in.
This isn’t just a talk. Attendees will meet a bestselling author and award-winning entrepreneur, receive a free hardcover of her new book (May 2026 release), and receive a free full-year membership in her Mic Drop Club ($199 value).
Jess is a sought-after speaker known for her honest, energizing take on motivation, purpose, and success. Her audiences include teams from Netflix, Under Armour, KraftHeinz and Zappos. Now add RPWF to that list.
As founder of Headbands of Hope, she created a mission-driven company that has donated millions of headbands to children battling cancer. Jess is also creator of the Mic Drop Workshop, helping leaders and professionals communicate with confidence.
Luncheon tickets are $45 each and can only be purchased online at www.rpwf.net/events. Registration deadline is Monday, June 8, 2026.
