“I’m convinced that no one left our Women in Leadership event without being inspired, motivated, and maybe even challenged by Jennifer’s presentation on pursuing authenticity.  She is such a powerful storyteller, sharing insights from her own experiences. Even though her journey was personal to her, she framed her comments in practical take-aways that were very well-received and truly resonated with everyone. The energy in the room during our post-presentation coffee/dessert was so high because of all the conversation generated from her message! I wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer for audiences of women at all stages of their careers – she has so much to share.”

Her presentation, “Authenticity in 2020 and Beyond: How to Achieve It and Why it Matters,” was outstanding. Jenn’s remarks were captivating, insightful and positive, and her presentation style was natural and conversational. She really connected with the audience, despite the virtual format. Many of the attendees identified her presentation as their favorite of the day.
