Testimonials
“Jeanne was the keynote speaker for our fall members’ kick-off meeting, and the goal was to inspire our members with her story of re-invention and finding life-work balance. Jeanne over-delivered on that goal! Our members were very engaged and provided feedback that they could relate to her story and messages. Jeanne provided actionable learning through her build-a-house approach to life. I would highly recommend having Jeanne as a speaker for your upcoming event to learn how life work balance is possible.”
