Jenn Drummond is redefining what modern resilience looks like an exited entrepreneur, a world record holding mountaineer, leadership coach, and mom of seven, she proves that high performance isn’t about doing more, it’s about learning how to rise higher with less chaos, clearer strategy, and deeper purpose.
From scaling an 8 figure financial services startup to summiting the world’s most unforgiving peaks, Jenn brings a rare blend of real world pressure, extreme environments, and human centered leadership to every room she enters.
She doesn’t just talk about resilience. She builds it one climb, one lesson, one “small win” at a time.
Who Is Jenn Drummond?
Jenn Drummond is an American entrepreneur, record setting mountaineer, executive leadership coach, and author. After scaling an 8-figure business and surviving a near fatal car accident, she committed to a mission few would attempt: climbing the Seven Second Summits, the second highest mountains on each continent.
She became the first woman in history to complete them.
Along the way, she discovered something bigger than mountaineering: the science of resilience, the psychology of simplicity, and the leadership strategies that help high achievers thrive under pressure.
Today, Jenn teaches leaders, teams, and organizations how to build unstoppable momentum not through force, but through strategy, clarity, and actionable mindset shifts.
Her core belief?
“We’re all born to climb. The key is learning how.”
From Entrepreneur to Elevation: A Journey Forged Under Pressure
Before the world knew her as a mountaineer, Jenn was a founder and CEO navigating the demanding grind of building a company from scratch. She grew her financial services startup to 8 figures, all while raising seven children.
Life was chaotic. Life was relentless.
Then everything changed.
A car accident, a moment that could have taken her life became the inflection point that reshaped her purpose. Instead of returning to the never ending treadmill of achievement, she began asking a different question:
“What am I climbing for?”
That internal shift led her first to mountaineering, then to coaching, and ultimately to a mission that blends performance, meaning, and presence.
Her philosophy was forged at 18,000 feet, on ice walls where one wrong decision has consequences and in kitchens at home, where even French macarons demand precision, humility, and patience.
The environments are different. The lessons are the same:
→ Respect the process→ Trust the fundamentals→ Fail forward→ Adapt faster than the conditions→ Celebrate the rise, cracks and all
Mission: Leadership With Altitude
Jenn’s mission is simple and profound:
To help high achievers find clarity, balance, and resilience so they can rise to their next summit without burning out at base camp.
Her work centers on:
1. Resilient Leadership
Teaching leaders how to thrive under pressure through mindset, systems, and emotional mastery.
2. Simplicity as a Success Strategy
Cutting through noise and commitments to lift performance, not complexity.
“Your capacity for excellence increases every time you choose less.”
3. High-ROI Living
Helping people design lives around the minutes not the hours that matter most.
4. Culture under Pressure
Equipping teams with the tools to stay aligned, adaptable, and high performing in uncertainty.
Her keynotes, workshops, and coaching programs translate mountain lessons into leadership frameworks that teams can implement immediately.
Themes & Message Pillars
1. The Learnable Skill of Resilience
Jenn argues resilience isn’t a personality trait, it’s a system.
Clarity → Strategy → Small Wins → Momentum → Mastery
2. Excellence Through Reduction
High performers don’t rise by doing more. They rise by removing distractions, commitments, and emotional noise.
“Every yes you add makes you a little more average.”
3. Trusting Your Gut Before Your Brain Catches Up
Great decisions rarely feel convenient. But your internal whisper is often your truest compass.
“It’s not waiting for ready. It’s waiting for willing.”
4. Mastery From the Mountains to the Macarons
Everything great summits, businesses, relationships, pastries requires humility, repetition, and process.
Let the craft teach you.
5. The ROI of Meaning
Not all minutes create equal returns. Great lives are built on meaningful minutes, not busy hours.
