Jade McCarthy

Jade McCarthy has been in front of the camera and behind the scenes at some of the biggest sporting events. Jade is a host, broadcaster, storyteller, and an Emmy award-winning journalist. Most importantly, Jade is a wife and a mother.

Though professionally Jade McCarthy is a sports analyst and broadcaster, her knowledge, motivation, and inspiration are so much more than that. The range of topics Jade speaks about go far beyond the sports she analyzes and dissects.

Jade McCarthy’s keynotes cover topics on resiliency, reinvention, and the motivation we sometimes need to get back up when we’ve been knocked down. She is about reinvigorating passion for what matters most to us and reserving the time to do so.

Jade speaks to audiences of all sizes and shares her message with corporate, private and faith-based audiences around the country.

Jade wants to tell stories that resonate, as she expressed in her interview with Barrett Media. The article praises Jade for her storytelling ability as the host of the Sports Spectrum podcast Transformed.

An Experienced Sports Anchor

In 2012 Jade McCarthy earned the sought after anchor position for ESPN and their SportsCenter program. For Jade, this was a dream come true. As dreams sometimes play out, extreme lows can follow extreme highs. 

In April of 2017 ESPN announced they would be making massive layoffs to their on-air personalities. Right before she was set to go live on air, Jade received the news that she was one of the many ESPN team members to be let go. Having been told her position was secure, this news was more than shocking, it was devastating.

Jade had to quickly pull herself together, and deal with this news she just received before she went on live TV. Because of all of this, Jade views this as a pivotal moment in her life and is something she will never forget. When our dreams, plans or careers are thrown into chaos, it’s a time to re-evaluate, re-imagine and re-inspire.

Dealing With Career Disruption

Jade McCarthy now looks back at this experience and sees it for what it was: time to grow. This difficult period in her life led to a much more resilient mindset that Jade attributes to her personal growth. Her disrupted career path, along with a lifetime of lessons, has inspired her keynote speaking. From inspiring sports stories to women’s empowerment and more, Jade is an inspiration.

Above all, teaching people how to grow and become more resilient is what McCarthy does best. This is what makes her one of the best leadership speakers out there.
