Jane is an inspiring and dynamic catalyst for change whose career, stories, humor and scathing honesty empower all to rethink what’s possible.

From rural Iowa to the c-suite of Microsoft, Jane Boulware defied expectations, overcame limitations and voices (often her own) that held her back and down.

Despite building and leading billion-dollar businesses, Jane struggled with imposter syndrome, addiction and feeling unworthy… until she learned it's okay to be afraid, okay not to know, okay to ask for help.

Once Jane redefined success 'from me to we', she put her spotlight on showing up, standing up and lifting up others.

Jane's book, WORTHY, is honest, heart-breaking and funny, relatable and uplifting. All proceeds from WORTHY go to Boys & Girls Clubs youth scholarships.

What does it really take to move from a one-bedroom house in rural Iowa to the corner office at Microsoft?

In this powerful conversation, Jane Boulware, former Corporate Vice President at Microsoft and author of Unworthy, shares how she overcame imposter syndrome, dropped the “armor” she once wore to fit in, and found her true worth — not in achievements, but in authenticity.

Jane reveals how saying “yes” to opportunities that terrified her transformed her fear into resilience, and how building strong, supportive micro-cultures can lead to success even within rigid corporate environments.

Now “failing miserably at retirement,” as she jokes, Jane spends her time mentoring, speaking, and giving back — with all proceeds from her book going to scholarships for underserved youth through the Boys and Girls Club.
