Jordan Xu Edu isn’t about rigid blueprints or flashy formulas - it’s about giving early-career wedding planners like yourself the tools, support, and confidence to build a business that actually fits your life. I believe mentorship should be real, personal, and rooted in experience. Through approachable coaching, practical resources, and joyful guidance, I help planners skip the overwhelm and step into a business that feels sustainable, strategic, and so you. You don’t need to hustle along - I’m here to help you grow with clarity, boundaries, and heart.
As a speaker, Jordan is energetic and relatable as she provides attendees with actionable steps to better themselves and their business. Based on her own experience in founding and growing Emily Jordan Events, Jordan provides real talk and real strategy. She speaks from experience and delivers practical, clear strategies that attendees can actually use to be more confident business owners and achieve their vision of success.
Topics I Speak On:
The “B” Word - Boundaries
The Art of Conversation
Stop Dreading Your To Do List
Leverage Your Talents
Mastering Difficult Discussions with Clients and Team Members
Build a Successful Team for your Wedding Planning Business
Running Your Business Instead of Your Business Running You
Establishing boundaries within your planning business
Planners often feel the need to be their client’s best friend, which leads to a lack of work life balance. Imagine creating a solid respect between you and your new clients from the moment they sign the contract. Jordan will take you through her own boundaries journey and teach you her step-by-step process to establish boundaries with your clients, your business, and yourself.
We have all been there - ignoring the elephant in the room so that we can avoid having a difficult conversation. We are in the business of producing happiness, so it is no wonder that having challenging discussions is hard for us as an industry. Jordan will walk you through her method to reduce the anxiety and stress brought on by uncomfortable conversations in order to have painless and productive discussions resulting in a better experience for you, your clients, and your team members.
In order to grow your business, you truly are not meant to do everything within your business yourself. You need to expand your team, but figuring out how to start that process is overwhelming. Jordan will guide you through her tried and true process for building a successful team. From understanding when it is time to expand to onboarding new team members, she will turn this overwhelming process into clear action steps, allowing you to build the business you've dreamed of.
Are there tasks on your business to do list that you avoid every week? Or maybe tasks that you do, but take far longer than you expected them to? Not every aspect of running a business is going to fit into your wheelhouse. Jordan deconstructs those dreaded tasks and walks you through how to delegate, automate, or delete those tasks to free up your to do list for tasks that excite you and remind you why you started this entrepreneurial journey. You will walk away with a firm understanding of how to run your business instead of your business running you.
Let's Inspire
Jordan is happy to speak with all audiences, but is uniquely suited to speak for early-career wedding planners who want to grow their business with confidence. She appeals to planners who want to build a planning business that is intentional, successful, and sustainable. Using her own experiences (including some stumbles), Jordan can teach planners the no-nonsense strategies and tools she used to build Emily Jordan Events.
Coaching Programs
You’ve got the passion, the clients, and the big dreams - but what you don’t have is time to Google your way through everything else. That’s where my coaching program comes in.
At Jordan Xu Edu, I help wedding planners in their early years turn chaos into clarity.
