"Catriona was awesome! Great presenter, great role model, great Canadian! She was very gracious in the time she committed and spent with our group and she received three standing ovations! They loved her." Investors Group

“Jennifer Botterill spoke exceptionally well to Deloitte's Next Generation CIO Academy. She was engaging, honest, thoughtful and funny. The audience was extremely absorbed in her message, and Jennifer presented us with numerous words to live by. Many in the audience even took notes on her presentation, a strong vote of confidence from a group of senior leaders. In short, I would not hesitate to have Jennifer back to engage broader audiences.”
Deloitte

“Jennifer’s ability to connect her personal experiences of effort, dedication, overcoming challenges, sharing successes, and most of all working together as a team to accomplish goals and dreams was amazingly well received by our entire Franchisee network. A testament to her acceptance and appreciation was delivered in an extended standing ovation that was our group’s way of saying “Thanks!” Jennifer’s pre-presentation work, analysis and effort to ensure the parallels of her message would connect to our audience was extremely appreciated and without question, has left a meaningful impact on our Franchisee group, that many still reference to me over a year later! Her on stage presence, comfort, and pleasant demeanour are qualities that certainly enhance her excellent communication skills in a package that certainly “makes it all work”. She is one of Canada’s greatest female hockey players of all time, an accomplished professional speaker and communicator and best of all one of the most pleasant and genuine people you could ever possibly be associated with.”

How to book a speaker

FAQs: Olympian Speakers
1. Will the Olympian bring their medal to the event?
Most do, and it’s often the moment people remember longest. Many Olympians pass their medal around the audience or make it part of the post-talk photo line, and holding an Olympic medal turns out to affect even the most senior executives. That said, don’t assume: some athletes keep their medals secure and travel with replicas or none at all. If the medal moment matters to your event, confirm it during booking, and plan time in the agenda for photos, because the line will be longer than you expect.
2. Does the speaker need to have won a medal for the talk to work?
No, and some of the most affecting Olympic talks come from athletes who didn’t reach the podium. The keynote value lies in the decade of unseen work, the losses along the way, and what it takes to perform on the one day that counts, and a fourth-place finisher often speaks about those things with less varnish than a champion can. Medals help with event marketing and photo appeal; the story determines whether the talk lands. Decide which of the two your event needs more.
3. Is booking a Paralympian any different?
The booking process is identical, and the talks are frequently among the strongest in the category, layering elite performance with a story of adaptation most audiences have never heard first-hand. Two practical notes: confirm accessibility details for your venue and stage as a matter of course, handled the way you would any speaker requirement, and take the speaker’s lead on how they frame their disability, since the best talks are about excellence rather than inspiration for its own sake. Everything else runs exactly as any Olympian booking does.
4. Do fees and availability change in an Olympic year?
Noticeably. In the months around a Games, public attention lifts the whole category: recently competing athletes come off the field with fresh stories and heavy demand, and established Olympic speakers get busier as organizations look to ride the moment. If your event lands in or just after a Games year, book earlier than usual and expect firmer fees for the most current names. The quieter years between Games are the value window, when the same accomplished speakers have more open calendars.
5. Should we consider an Olympic coach instead of an athlete?
For some audiences, the coach is the sharper fit. An athlete speaks to personal performance; a coach who built a gold-medal team speaks to selection, culture, handling talented and difficult personalities, and preparing a group for a single high-stakes moment, which maps directly onto what managers and executives do. Leadership retreats and management conferences often get more usable content from a coach, while all-staff events tend to respond to an athlete’s personal story. Your audience’s job determines the answer.
6. Can we use Olympic imagery in our event promotion?
Be careful here. The Olympic rings, the word marks, and related symbols are protected, and their commercial use is restricted in Canada and elsewhere; booking an Olympian does not licence your organization to brand an event with Olympic properties. You can accurately describe the speaker’s accomplishments in promotion, such as naming them an Olympic gold medallist, and use approved photos supplied for the booking. When in doubt, ask the speaker’s team what materials are cleared, and have your marketing run anything ambiguous past legal.
