Testimonials

I have worked with over three dozen keynote speakers in less than three years, and working with Jen was one of those experiences I will never forget. From our original conversation to prepping on-site, Jen was attentive, focused, and prepared to execute on time. What I enjoyed most about Jen was that she asked the most insightful questions, and though she was speaking as a keynote speaker, she did not want me to lose "Embracing the ridiculousness" of life as the Event Organizer. As a keynote speaker, Jen received wonderful reviews from attendees who enjoyed her authentic and personable demeanor. So from attendee to event organizer, you will be sure not to be disappointed.

Jen is a speaker worth hearing. I've attended dozens of conferences, coached hundreds of TEDx speakers, and heard thousands of speakers. Jen sleuthed a silent truth about showing up authentically in telling a tale, delivering an idea, and showing the process underneath the progress. Her talk scores on so many high performing levels.
