Solveiga Jaskunas Biography

Now more than ever, when conversations about immigration dominate the headlines, it is vital that we hear directly from immigrant voices and stories. That is what Solveiga Jaskunas brings to the stage. Her mission is simple: to make the journey easier for others than it was for her, and to inspire everyone-—regardless of their background— to share their own stories—no matter how difficult or challenging it may feel.

She doesn’t claim to be a perfect speaker—and that is exactly what makes her talks memorable. For years, she avoided the stage because she didn’t fit the mold of the “polished” speaker. Today, Jaskunas is invited to national and international conferences, not because she delivers flawless presentations, but because she delivers unforgettable ones. One audience member recently wrote: “You stole the show with the most likeable, brave, and touching presentation.” Jaskunas’s recent speaking events reached participants from more than 170 countries. She has spoken at national and international events such as The Expat Women Summit in March and October 2024, HR Global Summit 2024, HR Week in Lithuania 2024, SHRM Talent 2025, GSX 2025, Women in Tech Global Conference 2025, DisruptHR, ASIS International, and more). She was recently featured in Security Magazine as one of three leaders with distinct LinkedIn communication styles.

What Jaskunas offers is honesty, vulnerability, and powerful storytelling. She shares unique experiences—from growing up under the Soviet regime and being taught to conform, to traveling penniless to Berlin to see the world, to rebuilding confidence against the odds. Her talks explore how to become comfortable with discomfort, overcome imposter syndrome, rethink failure, overcome trauma, and lead with courage, compassion, and authenticity.

Jaskunas is a seasoned HR professional and career coach with over fifteen years of experience in nonprofit and for-profit organizations. She holds dual master’s degrees in Industrial Psychology and Human Resources Management and PHR and SHRM-CP certifications. As an immigrant to the United States, she overcame language barriers and numerous rejections before climbing the HR ladder to senior leadership roles. Her journey motivated her to mentor fellow immigrants and to start her own consultancy, which focuses on HR consulting, career coaching, training, speaking, and network referral services for organizations and individuals. Jaskunas's passion lies in coaching immigrant professionals and helping employers make their workplaces more inclusive. She has also dedicated her time to aiding refugees, homeless children, and at-risk youth.

Beauty of Difference: How Employers can Make Workplaces more Inclusive for International Employees

Drawing on my own experience as an immigrant to the U.S., and as a mentor for other immigrants and refugees, I will:

  • Create awareness of the specific obstacles that international employees face in the workplace, including external and internal barriers to success
  • Explain why these obstacles are detrimental not only to international employees, but also to employers.
  • Identify effective organizational HR strategies that can help international employees thrive in the workplace, and that in turn can make organizations more competitive in our global economy.

This session will resonate with many attendees and provide them with valuable knowledge and practical action items for change. I believe my message can help employers cultivate more diverse, effective teams and make international employees' journeys a little easier.

My goal for the conversation is to start conversations about the value of diversity, especially as it pertains to employees from other countries, whose voices often go unheard.

Power of Visibility and Vulnerability

Sharing parts of your life on a platform like LinkedIn can be challenging. That's especially the case when writing, or recording videos of yourself, in a non-native language. Your intentions can be misinterpreted or judged, and you might worry about how you sound, about your grammar mistakes and mispronunciations. We'll share personal insights that can help others to see the value and power of vulnerability and visibility. By understanding and embracing vulnerability, and by amplifying visibility, we can unlock a new level of empowerment and connection within ourselves and our communities.

We provide powerful stories and ask questions: How do you typically respond to moments of vulnerability? What are some beliefs you hold about vulnerability? What might happen if you allowed yourself to be more vulnerable in certain areas of your life? What fears or barriers do you encounter when considering being more visible or vulnerable?

Welcome to America: What's next?

We read many stories about immigrants who have achieved the American Dream. As an immigrant myself, and as one who coaches other immigrants in their professional journeys, such stories are very inspiring to me. But we don’t often hear the stories about newcomers to this country who do not achieve their dreams, or the stories of those for whom it takes many years to obtain the professional career they had before coming to the States.

Here're some facts about immigrant experiences in the workplace:

  • A quarter of working immigrants feel they are overqualified for their jobs.
  • Fifty-two percent of employed immigrants report that they work in jobs that pay them by the hour.
  • Half of working immigrants say they experience discrimination at work.

I propose leading a session at your conference in which I connect these disturbing statistics to the many challenges that international employees face in their professional journeys.

Performance conversations that work

Let's talk about performance conversations. We all know they're important, but sometimes they can feel a bit awkward, right? This training proposal is all about helping managers have better, more productive chats with their teams—ones that actually make a difference. We'll share best practices, coaching modules and more. We'll make sure everyone leaves with practical tips and tools they can start using right away.
