Welcome back to another episode of The High Profit Event Show! This week, host Rudy Rodriguez sits down with Lady Jen Du Plessis, founder of Kinetic Spark Consulting, LLC, to dive into the evolution of event models and how event leaders can pivot towards high-ticket, transformational experiences.
Lady Jen brings a wealth of experience to the table, with a career spanning four decades in financial services, where she worked with top business owners and entrepreneurs to scale their companies. She has shared the stage with some of the most influential names in the industry, including Tony Robbins, Les Brown, Darren Hardy, and Kevin Harrington, solidifying her reputation as a leading authority in business growth and event strategy.
In this episode, Lady Jen walks us through her journey from leading large-scale, three-day events to curating boutique, high-ticket mastermind retreats. She shares how she recognized the need to shift from traditional, exhausting event models to intimate, high-value experiences that create greater transformation and profitability. She explains why smaller, experiential events offer deeper connections, higher engagement, and bigger financial wins for both hosts and attendees.
We also explore the strategic monetization of events, where Lady Jen breaks down why low-ticket events often result in high expenses and minimal returns. Instead of struggling to fill rooms with $297 attendees, she reveals how pricing events at $5,000+ has not only increased her revenue but also attracted the right audience—entrepreneurs and leaders who are serious about investing in transformation. She even shares her cost-saving tips, like traveling with her own event equipment to avoid excessive venue charges, proving that smart event planning can lead to higher profits without unnecessary overhead.
One of the most exciting parts of this conversation is Lady Jen’s elite networking strategy. She introduces the concept of mastermind dinners—small, curated gatherings of high-performance individuals that foster deep business relationships and client acquisition. Instead of waiting for opportunities to connect, Lady Jen creates her own inner circle, leading six to eight high-caliber guests for exclusive dinner discussions. This strategy has led to millions in business growth and partnerships, proving that the best connections are made in intimate settings, not crowded networking events.
If you’ve been leading large, overwhelming events that leave you exhausted and barely profitable, this episode is your wake-up call. Lady Jen’s insights will show you how to pivot towards high-ticket, experiential events that are profitable, powerful, and life-changing for both you and your attendees.
