Jane Rolen
I help emerging leaders and professionals break free from fear of failure, burnout, and imposter syndrome by transforming setbacks into fuel for a purpose-driven career.
Through powerful stories, mindset shifts, and practical tools, I show audiences how to lead through adversity, not around it. My program stands for resilience, growth, and purpose—because failure isn’t the end, it’s the fire that forges strength.
Audiences walk away not just inspired, but equipped with a mindset and toolkits to turn fear into focus, self-doubt into confidence, and struggle into a renewed sense of direction.
About Jane
Jane Rolen is no stranger to setbacks—she’s collected them like frequent flyer miles. But rather than being grounded by them, she turned them into the very fuel that built her resilience.
She is living proof that leadership is not built in spite of struggles, but through them. With over 26 years in a decorated government career and recognition as a multi- awarded community leader, Jane equips leaders across sectors to reclaim their voices, resilience, and purpose using the same tools that transformed her own journey.
As the first Filipino podcaster in Georgia, she has released close to 100 episodes of “Usapang Pinoy,” amplifying immigrant stories often left unheard. She also launched Georgia’s Filipino American History Month celebrations, growing them from two events in 2019 to ten by 2025. Recognized as an Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) Everyday Hero, one of the 25 Most Influential Asian Americans in Georgia, and featured in Marquis Who’s Who in America, Jane is as much a cultural advocate as she is a connector of people. Onstage and off, Jane is known for her warmth, humor, and straight talk about resilience.
She doesn’t just speak about overcoming setbacks—she shows how to use them as stepping stones to purpose and impact.
