From our first meeting Jackie impressed with how quickly she grasped what was required for our leadership conference to be a success. The feedback received has placed Jackie as one of our most popular presenters.
A magnificent presentation, wonderful storytelling. I wanted to listen to Jackie all day. Outstanding. If you don’t do your feelings, they will do you! This has changed my life! Feelings are not facts. They are important feedback from you to you. Loved this. Take yourself seriously so others see how you want it done! Fantastic advice. Learning to say Thank You to yourself on your 40th birthday is a real gift!
Over the past 20 years I have booked over a hundred speakers for both national and international conferences for a wide variety of audiences. Jackie Furey would be in my top 5 recommendations. She delivered a standout presentation.
A truly inspirational speaker who can deliver serious information in an intelligent and engaging way. Her anecdotes and role playing were of great assistance (and very funny) in getting the content we discussed across to our audience. Getting 400 Policewomen to give you a standing ovation is not an easy feat – well done! Jackie stayed for lunch chatting to many attendees and answering many questions. From the moment we engaged Jackie, we found her to be accessible, diligent and friendly.
One of the best presentations I have seen. And 700 people in the auditorium agreed with me! Jackie delivered an amazing presentation on how we can all be our best selves more easily and joyfully. You deserved the standing ovation.
Brilliant. Had the room sitting on their edge of their seats. Jackie’s ability to be incredibly funny while delivering a standout professional presentation was wonderful to be part of. The standing ovation she received from over 300 women was electrifying….
