Inspirational Humorist, Singer-songwriter

Humorous motivational speaker Jana Stanfield, CSP, makes a lasting impression whether inspiring a women’s health audience, appreciating nurses and other difference-makers, or teaching a new song to children in Thailand. She is a difference-maker who makes a profound impression on her audiences, sending them home with a lighter step, a new-found or renewed purpose, and a song in their hearts.

“I have an extensive background in psychotherapy,” motivational performer Jana Stanfield says with a wink, “as a client.” Combining her background as a television reporter with her talent as a songwriter, musician and humorist, Jana is a one-of-a-kind keynote speaker. She’s shared stages with stars ranging from Kenny Loggins to The Dixie Chicks and received standing ovations on world-famous stages from Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, all the way to New York’s Carnegie Hall.

She delivers the much-needed gift of learning through laughter and music, encouraging, appreciating and energizing her audiences. Known as “The Queen of Heavy Mental,” Jana describes her music as “psychotherapy you can dance to.” With songs like, “I’m Not Lost, I’m Exploring,” “Woman of 33 (and up!),” “Nothin’ I Can Do About It Now,” and “If I Were Brave,” Jana’s music reaches into the hearts of women and gives them a psychic boost – all of the benefits of Prozac without the water retention!

When Jana couldn’t get a record company to support her dream of making “music with meaning” she did the next best thing. She started her own record company, known today as Relatively Famous Records. The business she started on her dining room table is now one of the most successful businesses of its kind.

Jana is probably one of the most personable speakers you will ever meet and is a meeting planner’s total partner in maximizing and leveraging their event. Upbeat and unforgettable, Jana’s wisdom, humor and memorable music will send participants back to their homes and workplaces refreshed, renewed, and recommitted.
