What do circus performance and Education have in common? More than you might think. Dr. Jen Mott, known as The Entertaining Educator, has built a career that uniquely fuses the art of Entertainment with the science of teaching. By day, she’s an educator; by weekend and special event, she’s a circus performer—juggling, storytelling with balloons, and captivating audiences with her energy. Since her first juggling-and-speaking presentation in 2018, Dr. Jen has grown this blend of performance and teaching into a platform that delivers both joy and practical insight. Along the way, she’s earned her doctorate focusing on teacher perseverance, bringing academic credibility to her vibrant, engaging style.
With nearly half the U.S. population—about 47% in 2023 (U.S. Census Bureau)—now age 45 and older, it’s more important than ever not to discount the value of past experience. Expanding and combining interests can create meaningful impact, allowing us to shape the next chapter of life around work we Love. This is possible with a mindset of lifelong learning, and often by developing multiple career paths. By affirming and maximizing both professional experience and personal interests, we strengthen not only our present work but also future opportunities.
