Speaker Bio

Meet Our Keynote Speaker, Jaime Marco

Jaime partners with associations, conferences, and growing organizations that want to elevate leadership, strengthen culture, and improve sales and customer experience by putting humans first, without sacrificing results.

Every organization hits a point where the noise gets loud, the energy dips, and connection starts to fray across teams, leaders, and the front lines. Through high-energy keynotes, interactive workshops, and her simple, memorable UnFunkt™ Framework, Jaime helps organizations quiet the noise, reconnect to what matters, and take human-first action that drives performance everywhere it counts.

If you’re ready for clarity without chaos, performance without burnout, and culture that actually supports your people and your customers, you’re in the right place.

I highly enjoyed the 2025 Boss Lady Women's Leadership Conference! The energy in the room and the realness of the speakers and the attendee's was refreshing. It was very inclusive, which I love. The conference centered around internal and business growth at all levels and helping each other rise.

Kelly Moore

This was my second conference, and I thought there was more focus on women's empowerment this year. It was presented in a way that was realistic and authentic and enjoyed the variety of topics and speakers. It left me feeling refreshed and renewed energy in my business. I have been invited to Boss Lady events in the past by 3 members.

Kara King

You did it again! This conference might be my favorite!!! Each year it gets better and better! Thank you so much for putting it together.

 have attended many conferences, and most of them are about how to improve a client or business, but this conference is about how to better yourself and make you the female leader you were meant to be.

This was my third year attending, and each year I make new connections that have each transformed my life in the most positive way. I never could have imagined the personal breakthroughs I've had since becoming a Boss Lady. Thank you
