Jill Schulman is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, leadership development expert, and founder of Breakthrough Leadership Group. With a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, she combines science and strategy to help leaders build courage, connection, and clarity in the moments that matter most.
Her work focuses on helping individuals and organizations move from comfort to courage—because bravery isn’t just a character trait, it’s a skill. Jill has worked with Fortune 500 companies, healthcare organizations, and high-growth teams across industries to unlock performance through brave self-leadership and feedback that drives results.
She is the author of The Bravery Effect (2025), which explores how everyday courage can elevate performance, prevent regret, and lead to a more meaningful life. Her ideas have been featured by Psychology Today, Fast Company, Forbes, and conferences across the country.
Jill’s approach is both research-backed and deeply human. Whether she’s on stage, in the boardroom, or leading workshops, she challenges people to say what needs to be said—kindly, clearly, and bravely.
