Teaching

I love learning—facilitating it, designing it, and participating in it.

I’ve been an educator at all levels.

I’m currently an award-winning professor of Difficult Conversations and other courses at NYU Stern School of Business. I’m also the former Director of Education at the Obama Foundation.

My goal when teaching is to create a safe and brave learning community that enables transformation.

Where I’ve Taught

Student Testimonials

  • “Professor Wynn is an incredible teacher. She is skilled in creating a safe environment for students to open up and learn more because she is willing to be vulnerable. She is very aware of the challenges that her students face, especially during Covid, and she makes a concerted effort to accommodate students' needs. She plans out her class sessions very well, but also leaves time for discussion and questions. She is truly an inspiration to me and to her students.”

    — Participant, leadership training survey

  • “Jenn was able to create a safe space in a short period of time for students to share sensitive information and be able to effectively provide impactful and actionable feedback in class which could be applied to the real world the next day. I have already deployed the tools and techniques from this class to lead to better outcomes both professionally and personally.”
