What a gift Jenn was to our organization! Jenn led a series of virtual sessions with our employees, walking us through key themes from her book, The Art of Badassery. Our intent was to engage and empower our employees through Jenn's program. She surpassed our expectations. Her informal, authentic style allowed our audience to feel connected with her and lean in further to the discussions, getting the most out of Jenn's framework. We had great feedback from our employees. I highly recommend Jenn for team building, empowerment talks and coaching.

Customer Reviews

Rebekah Crane, VP, Columbia Threadneedle Investments

Jennifer spoke to a group of female lawyers and she was one of the best speakers I’ve seen, hands down. She was engaging and got everyone up and moving around throughout the discussion. I have heard nothing but positive feedback about her talk. One of my associates even yelled "KIYAP!" afterwards when we were talking about establishing boundaries with another lawyer. I highly recommend her!

Molly McKibben, Partner at Law Firm

Jennifer is an incredibly dynamic and engaging speaker. I loved that she was able to break down what seemed like daunting tasks into action items making it easier to understand how to take back control of your life and embrace your inner badass.

Jenn held a series of speaking events for the Visa Women's Network and the Visa Asian Employee Network on the topics of "Safety & Self Defense - from the Streets to the Boardroom" and "Unleash Your Mojo with Wisdom of the Dojo". She knocked both sessions out of the park! We had ~300 participants across both events from across the globe. According to survey feedback from participants, "Jenn goes beyond showing women how to feel empowered. She shows them how to take action towards protecting their peace and power". Over 85% of survey respondents said they felt inspired by her event, citing Jenn's successful use of her own vulnerability to connect with the audience.
