A special thank you for Jennifer’s recent repeat program: Myers-Briggs - Leading Beyond Your Own Style. She was able to engage, focus, and challenge the GSB alumni group in an applied and focused manner that is not always an easy feat!
-Linda M. Wells, Executive Director, Stanford Graduate School of Business
Stanford Graduate School of Business Alumni program

Because Jennifer speaks with such enthusiasm and passion, she is able to motivate her audience to actually set and achieve some of their life goals, not just talk about it. She made such an impact on our audience with her program Running Toward Your Dream that they were talking about her long after the program was over. I would recommend Jennifer without hesitation to speak at any function.
-Gini Craig, Past President FWI San Diego,
Financial Women International

I like her because she is visionary, strategic, and tactical, and you don't really find that very often, and then she's authentic and engaging.
-Lakiba Pittman, HR, Agilent Technologies
