Jean Card

Jean Card is a speechwriter and mindset-based speaking coach who helps her clients translate complicated issues and stories into compelling, persuasive English. Notably, she spent six years in the executive branch of the U.S. government as a speechwriter for the Secretaries of Treasury and Labor as well as the Attorney General.

Since her time in government, Jean has been a columnist for U.S. News & World Report, a spokeswoman for national organizations, a political commentator in national and global media, and a podcaster.
