Dr. Jacinta M. Jiménez

As women leaders, we desire to accomplish goals that matter, inspire others to join us in working toward those goals, and leave a lasting impact. In order to do this, we not only need the right skills, but also sustainable energy and vitality. Unfortunately, getting to the top of what is already an unequal playing field has resulted in women being told they have to push harder and work more. Drawing from her experience of hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro as part of a women-only led expedition summiting on International Women’s Day, Stanford University- trained psychologist and motivation expert, Dr. Jacinta M. Jiménez will deliver a more grounded and empowering message. Join Dr. Jiménez as she uncovers how to translate cutting-edge leadership science into sustainable action. Her talk will reveal a new, evidence-backed model for sustainable success--so that when you do make it to the top, you’ll have the energy, oxygen, and bandwidth to do the important work you came here to do.

Dr. Jacinta M. Jiménez is a Stanford University trained and licensed Doctor of Clinical Psychology and a Board Certified Coach. Spanning more than a decade, Dr. Jiménez’s professional work is dedicated to synthesizing scientific research and directly applying it to the positive development of leaders, innovative programs, and technology. A contributor to national news outlets, including CNN, Women’s Health, ABC News, Oxygen and Headline News, Dr. Jiménez provides her expert opinion and thought leadership on a wide variety of psychology topics. Her deep knowledge of human behavior and psychological theory makes her an authority in catalyzing positive behavior change within individuals.

Dr. Jiménez currently serves as Head of Coaching for BetterUp, overseeing the strategic design, development and implementation of learning for their global network of over 500 leadership coaches within BetterUp’s mobile platform. Additionally, she serves on the science board of a technology startup aimed at promoting health behavior change and social support for women.
