Intimacy Coordinator / CEO
Intimacy Directors And Coordinators (IDC)

Jessica Steinrock (she/her) is the CEO and co-founder of Intimacy Directors and Coordinators, the world's largest organization devoted to the burgeoning profession making waves in Hollywood, and one of the first Intimacy Coordinators in the zeitgeist. Through her work, she explores the changing dynamics around on-screen depictions of sexuality and the on-set mechanics of consent and creativity that bring our favorite stories to life.

Both as a speaker and across her far-reaching social channels (with over 1 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook), Steinrock shares fascinating insights gleaned from her career as an Intimacy Coordinator — from lessons in leadership; to sparking creativity through consent, boundary- setting, and self-advocacy; to navigating male-dominated spaces as a female entrepreneur — with implications reaching far beyond the confines of film and television sets.

Using her behind-the-scenes stories, Steinrock will bring your audience through her experiences on set to show how we can employ similar problem-solving tactics in our everyday lives, teaching us all how to be better communicators, leaders, employees, students, and humans.
