JONELLE MARIE CARTER
THE JMC SCHOOL EXPERIENCE
Designed for co-ed student audiences, The JMC School Experience helps students build confidence, strengthen self-worth, develop leadership skills, and navigate challenges with resilience and authenticity.
Whether delivered as a keynote or a keynote plus workshop, each experience is tailored to the goals and needs of the school, student group, or event.
Keynote Experience
Best for school-wide assemblies, conferences, and large student audiences
A high-energy 45–60 minute keynote designed to engage, inspire, and challenge students to think differently about confidence, mindset, leadership, and personal growth.
Through honest storytelling, practical strategies, and real-life experiences, Jonelle helps students recognize their potential, overcome limiting beliefs, and leave with tools they can begin applying immediately.
Keynote + Workshop Experience
Best for leadership groups, student councils, conferences, and smaller group settings
This experience combines a 45–60 minute keynote with an interactive workshop session that allows students to dive deeper into the concepts presented.
Through guided discussion, reflection, and practical exercises, students move beyond inspiration and begin applying leadership, communication, confidence, and mindset strategies to their own lives and school communities.
GLOW GIRL LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
Designed for female student leaders and emerging young women, the Glow Girl Leadership Experience is a deeper, more immersive opportunity to develop confidence, leadership skills, authentic connection, and positive school culture.
More than a single presentation, Glow Girl is designed to create meaningful conversations, leadership development, and lasting impact within the school community.
Half-Day Experience
Best for leadership events, empowerment initiatives, and student development programs
A focused leadership experience that combines keynote speaking, guided discussion, interactive activities, and personal reflection.
Students leave with increased confidence, stronger leadership awareness, and practical tools they can use to positively influence their school, peers, and future goals.
Full-Day Experience
Best for schools seeking deeper engagement & impact
A fully immersive leadership experience that includes keynote content, workshops, collaborative activities, reflection opportunities, and the GG Student Leadership Panel.
Students explore confidence, self-worth, leadership, communication, and personal growth while building stronger connections with one another and developing a greater sense of belonging and purpose within their school community.
Real Conversations. Lasting Impact.
With more than 3,000 stage appearances, Jonelle brings real-life experience, honest storytelling, and practical leadership lessons that resonate with students long after the event ends.
As a speaker, author, musician, and cancer survivor, she connects with audiences through authenticity, vulnerability, and actionable insights.
Students Walk Away With
More Than an Event
The Glow Girl Leadership Experience introduces the idea of becoming a "GG" — a student leader, encourager, and positive influence within the school community.
The goal is not simply to inspire students for a day, but to help create confidence and leadership that continues long after the experience ends.
"Jonelle came to a retreat for female students at our school that focuses on empowerment, gaining confidence, and building female friendships. She was our keynote speaker, and the girls absolutely loved her! Her advice on owning your identity and becoming the best version of yourself was accessible to girls across all grade levels and backgrounds. Not only did she capture the attention of every girl in the auditorium for the full hour, but her easygoing, approachable nature also made the girls comfortable enough to ask questions and interact with her during her presentation. Jonelle also made a special effort to come early and build personal connections with the girls in the hours leading up to her speech. Jonelle is great at connecting with the youth, and she would be a powerful and positive influence on any group of teenagers!"
