“Amongst the best ever”

“I have been teaching at universities for over 25 years and have had many guest speakers to bring practical insights to my students. Jennifer is amongst the best ever!

She has come into multiple classes at the MBA and undergraduate levels and every time, her talk was a highlight of the course. She is well equipped to help other organizations build their media and communications strategies. I have no hesitation in recommending Jennifer.”

“Eloquence and passion”

“I was able to watch Jennifer in action when she facilitated an Atlantic Executive Committee session around ‘Understanding Diversity and Inclusion within Service Canada Atlantic.’

She confidently conducted her sessions with approximately 50 high-level senior leaders about the importance of disability inclusion in the workplace.

Jennifer received an ADM medallion for outstanding service as a facilitator and received strong positive feedback from leadership. The response to this session, and about Jennifer’s presentation, brought about long-term benefits.

Jennifer’s eloquence and passion is a driving force and one I admire. She is a natural communicator and a true professional.”

“An absolute powerhouse”

“My colleagues and I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer at a cross-country roadshow promoting neuro inclusion in Canadian workplaces.

Jennifer is an absolute powerhouse! I was impressed with her compelling storytelling and the relatable way she shared her lived experience, professional achievements and struggles as a person with disabilities.

Jennifer’s powerful keynote about her work as a disability inclusion advocate, while living and working with disabilities, was both sobering and inspirational. The audience’s reaction was overwhelmingly positive.

I was moved and motivated by this session and invited Jennifer to speak with my students about anti-ableism, non-apparent disabilities, neuroinclusion and the importance of disability inclusion in school, at work and home. It was a hit with my class!”

I have found Jennifer’s gentle and factual approach to be very valuable in moving us all forward in being more inclusive. Her professional yet approachable demeanor puts everyone at ease and on a level playing field. Her presentation was professional and on point and really made people feel a part of the conversation.

The community is fortunate to have Jennifer share her knowledge individually, in group settings, and through her podcast. I would highly recommend Jennifer!”
