Jenelle McClenahen is the CEO & Founder of Symplifyed, a company born from her firsthand experience as a classroom educator. What began as a way to survive a chaotic year in her own classroom turned into a powerful system of intentional goal-setting and progress-monitoring that delivered transformative student growth. Her work is driven by the deeply-held belief that every data point represents a real child and that a focused plan can make all the difference, a perspective forged both in the classroom and as a parent working with her son's autism diagnosis. As CEO, Jenelle guides Symplifyed with a singular question: “What if every teacher was the best teacher they’ve ever had?”

Futurist. Innovator. Educator. Entrepreneur. Change Maker. 

Angela Maiers is on a relentless mission to disrupt the status quo and empower individuals everywhere to transform their own world—and the world around them. As the founder of the global movement Choose2Matter, Angela’s singular focus is to help people realize their value and potential contribution to creating change, whether in their personal lives or the world at large. It is fair to say, she leaves no room unchanged. 

Angela’s journey began in 2011 when she delivered a TEDTalk on the power of two simple words that went viral—You Matter!—which catalyzed the creation of Choose2Matter in 2014. What followed was a movement that ignited over a million children across 78,000 classrooms in 100 countries, encouraging them to launch 170 social enterprises and pass 117 laws. 

As one of the most influential thought leaders in education and transformative thinking, Angela is celebrated for helping businesses, organizations, and industries tackle the global $15 trillion employee engagement crisis. Her work with Fortune 500 companies such as Apple, Microsoft, IBM, and global entities like the U.S. Air Force and West Point have set new standards for creating purpose-driven cultures of motivation and inclusion. 

Angela’s visionary approach has earned her numerous accolades, including being named one of Forbes’ Top 5 Edupreneurs to Watch, one of IBM’s Top 20 Global Influencers, and one of the Top 100 Women in Technology by Onalytics. She has also been recognized as one of the Top 20 Education Thought Leaders by TrustEd. 

Angela is the author of nine books, including Genius Matters and Classroom Habitudes, and the forthcoming M is for Mattering. Angela is a much sought-after keynote speaker, consultant, and researcher who brings a unique blend of education, neuroscience, and 

innovation to help individuals and organizations cultivate purposeful leadership, meaningful work, and transformative change. 

Angela’s work is grounded in the belief that everyone is built for purpose, deserves dignity, and can create meaningful impact. She has worked with over 50 global companies, educational institutions, nonprofits, and military organizations to implement practical tools for cultivating positive team cultures and igniting the genius within every person. 

When Angela speaks, change is not just possible—it is inevitable.
