Testimonials
Katie Schweiger, Director of Community Engagement, Board Member ILPR
"Jenn was a breath of fresh air in her keynote! I brought her in to speak at a conference for a group of young leaders with very diverse backgrounds and thoughts about leadership. Jenn was able to connect with the entire group and provide learning opportunities beyond her keynote. Many of the breakout session speakers referenced Jenn's insights and there have been discussions about her impact far beyond the hours she spent with us. Jenn was fun, interesting, insightful, and she got a group of 100 strangers to sing at a conference! In the words of one of the attendees: "Wow! I've never seen that before." Thank you for an exceptional learning experience, Jenn. We appreciate you!"
Hillary Thomsen ,Communications Coordinator, North Sound ACH
"Our team tends to get deep in the weeds with our work and badly needed this training to connect us and encourage us to get to know ourselves and one another better. Jenn conducted an upbeat, positive, and extremely informational session introducing us to the Enneagram. Her knowledge and engaging style kept everyone’s attention and gave us the means to do some self-discovery and identify our motivations. We're excited to continue to learn more and refer back to what she shared often. Definitely recommend bringing Jenn to your team!"
