"When I first heard Jeanne's presentation I knew that she not only had diversity figured out but that she was able to explain it to a group of employees in a way that wasn't threatening. One of her presentations to a group of employees who I would have felt would have been a hard sell went over so well that there was a particular time during the presentation you could have heard a pin drop. They were so interested in her understanding on the subject and her ability to explain their feelings that they were totally engrossed in her presentation. When you see a group as tough as some she has presented too, you understand her incredible ability to get the message across. The fact that she has a best seller book on the subject, allowed our employees to not only obtain what they learned from the presentations but reflect on some of the new learnings by following up with her book. She is a dynamic speaker and has the gift of knowing her audience. She has the ability to present in a way that captivates and motivates others. Over the past number of years she has presented to well over 400 people in our department and has made a significant difference."(Dave Fischl - Fleet Services Manager/ Workplace Diversity Coordinator, Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation)

“Jennifer Botterill – our keynote speaker at four events, each with a different audience and all very successful! Jennifer is a proud and patriotic, family-centred woman with a ready laugh who demonstrates an open desire to interact with the guests/attendees. Her energetic and goal-oriented style is authentic, sincere, and positive. Jennifer has an admirable ability to connect her presentation and personal successes to the audience with only a short briefing meeting in preparation for presenting. She delivers an impactful presentation that resonates with the attendees both on a professional and personal level – living in the moment but never losing sight of your goal; the critical importance of teamwork; the focus on others – that of making people around you better; the joy of celebrating others and sharing success; the magnitude of being supportive; and the significance of honouring the past – what and who got you to where you are.”

"Jim Abbott is awesome. You could hear a pin drop during his speech. Frankly, I am not a baseball fan, don't really know that much about it, but it really didn't make any difference. His speech - to me - had little to do with baseball although the stories he wrapped around his words did. We laughed, and many of us (me especially) cried as he wove his touching story of his life and experiences overcoming his handicap. He is charming, very receptive to our guests, and he was willing to take the time to go to our luncheon, pose for pictures, and answer questions from anyone who asked. I now know more about human behavior since I've met and heard Jim Abbott. It was a great experience."TOSHIBA
