What People Are Saying

"

I’ve had the honor of working with Jennie in different capacities several times. I’ve most recently had the ability to collaborate with her to create a custom workshop for our project management professionals. Our leadership team was able to leverage Jennie’s expertise and incorporate it into a full day workshop, while still being able to deliver the specific messages that we needed to. Jennie delivered activities and topics that aligned wonderfully with our content while being engaging and relevant to all attendees. This particular workshop was a hybrid with some in-person and some virtual, which added a bit of a challenge. Jennie rose to that challenge, guided the team through managing both audiences, and had something for everyone to keep them involved and a part of the day’s sessions. The feedback received from all attendees was outstanding. I would recommend Jennie to all teams that are looking for an engaging storyteller/facilitator to create an atmosphere of team building, listening, and inclusion in any environment. Her ability to be agile and to create something brand new and tailored is phenomenal and has had a lasting, positive impact on our teams. Jennie is an amazing partner."

From the moment we had our first encounter in 2020, I knew that Jennie would be a great fit for the energy and experience our recent graduates needed at SAP. I worked with Jennie directly in several iterations of our onboarding program for SAP Next Talent, SAP's marquee tech rotational program. Jennie's area of expertise in their learning journey was centered around storytelling and presentation skills in a professional setting.

I was impressed by Jennie's vast knowledge, embedding tangible examples in her content. She also brought a nice balance of theory and practice, allowing our recent hires a chance to explore the techniques introduced to them.

As we continued this partnership, Jennie was receptive to the changing needs of our business and the gaps in skill sets of our cohorts - she quickly and intentionally created new forms of delivering the content. She was also flexible when we went completely virtual (due to the pandemic). What's incredible is that the content and engagement did not decline - our virtual cohorts saw these training sessions just as valuable.

The impact was seen immediately - our cohorts navigated their professional journeys successfully, through an elevated use of their presence, presentation, and communication skills."

I have engaged Jennie Moreau for multiple interactive group workshops over the past few years (both virtually and face to face). Most recently she used the PRINT® survey as a foundation for a series of team workshops that allowed folks to get to know themselves and their colleagues better. We were able to see and name each other’s strengths with greater clarity, understand other people’s actions that may not have made sense before, name and work with our triggers, practice empathic listening, and identify ways to facilitate future growth. Not only was the workshop productive, it was also a lot of fun. Jennie and the PRINT® workshop enabled our team to work better together. She created a space for honest conversations to happen and we were able to name and activate tangible tools to take into our day-to-day personal and professional lives."

Jennie Moreau has an incredible gift for bringing out the best in people. I worked with her over a number of 1-2 hours sessions in preparation for the daylong Zoom presentation to over 120 mental health professionals. Jennie shared strategies for helping me stay grounded, on point with my message, and most important of all, how to remain connected with my audience. She helped me find the rhythm of my message, discerning its essence, developing three foundational themes and then building on and returning to those within the ebbs and flows of the day. I went from having a ton of disorganized and complicated, unrelated facts to a well-formed and comprehensive presentation.

The morning of the presentation day, I woke up feeling already successful and well prepared. She believed in me 100% and that helped me resource my own professional expertise, deep research into the topic, and the key points of the message I wanted to deliver, simplifying a complicated and overwhelming topic into something everyone in the audience could understand.

The feedback I received on the presentation was extraordinary and I owe this to Jennie. I'm not simply being humble; although I worked hard and knew the outcome I wanted to have, she helped me find my own voice, remain embodied, and speak truly from my heart. I love Jennie's kindness, supportive nature, and delicate way of giving just the right amount of corrective feedback.

“In addition to the relational expertise she brings to her work, Jennie has developed a unique step-wise system for organizing one's thoughts, visuals, and main points. Plus, she has superior knowledge of language -- not just the words, but the cadence and an experienced actor's knowledge of rhythm, suspense, and gravity...mixed with a good amount of humor that brings her into the realm of expert.”"

When I met Jennie I was struggling to condense and express my life experiences in interesting ways. My writing, presentations, even informal anecdotal stories to friends were well, sort of, long winded. If there was a punchline, trust me to mangle it beyond recognition. There was a large gap in what I wanted to say and what was being heard.

Jennie helped close that gap. She started with helping me discover things about myself. Experiences which I didn't think were all that interesting. She took a story about a kindergarten school teacher who changed the trajectory of my life and shaped it into a story about leadership.

If you have many stories to tell, spread across multiple continents and diverse cultures, her unique, customized approach to storytelling brings out the very best in all of you.

She worked with me 1:1 in virtual settings (they always felt in-person to me). She drew out, shaped and birthed butterflies. She helped weave my personal passions around patient advocacy into my professional life. Within a few sessions, she elevated my long winded, yawn inducing soliloquies of personal and professional experiences into compelling narratives using the disciplined medium of strategic communications.

Jennie will unearth, polish, and turn your carbon nuggets to diamonds. And before you know it, you will be ready to present a new you to the world."

I had the opportunity to work with Jennie through executive coaching at our Women in Bio Chicago Chapter Annual Gathering. She utilized her skills to ignite Past-Present-Future reflections in an incredibly fun interactive way for a virtual platform to engage small groups and the collective larger group with fellow members on a deeply personal level. It sparked genuine connection through empathy and humor. I highly recommend engaging with her for team building and creating/maintaining "group culture"."

Jennie is an artful communicator. She draws on a wealth of experience both in front of and behind the camera, as well as onstage, to coach executives, leaders and sales teams, helping them refine their ability to deliver compelling stories and messages in a way that truly connects. Authenticity is one of her secret weapons. If you need support making the pivot to more effectively engage in an interactive virtual environment, Jennie is your coach. Her mastery of the tools, technologies and performance techniques of the on-camera, onscreen virtual experience helped me raise my game as a facilitator and trainer"

"

We invited Jennie to join us at Stanford d.school to lead an hour-long workshop. It was only our second class, and we asked Jennie to help accelerate team building efforts through empathy-focused interactive exercises. She blew away students and teaching team alike with her enthusiasm and passion. One fellow teacher remarked about how inspired by overhearing students say such positive things about someone they had just met."

-Ward Bullard, SAP, Lecturer, Co-Instructor, Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford

"

I worked with Jennie to prepare for a keynote address at the Sapphire Now / ASUG Annual conference. Jennie did a great job in helping me fine tune the message and presentation style for a large audience. She provided exceptional coaching by identifying what was working well and what could/should be improved. Her suggestions for change were spot on and resulted in a much stronger presentation. By the time I delivered the speech, I was confident and prepared!"

-Keith Sturgill, CIO Eastman Chemical

"

We at Heartland Alliance International are in unanimous agreement that the storytelling workshop Jennie and her colleague David Crabb facilitated for our 2017 global leadership summit  was really a high point! It was such a rare opportunity for us to reflect on our collective and individual human experience, to share some big laughs as a team, and to begin to think through how we share our stories with the world.  We all thoroughly enjoyed it and we’re thrilled that we had the opportunity to work with and learn from both David and Jennie!"

-Emily Ardell, Director of Global Learning, Heartland Alliance International

"

The support Jennie gave us to prepare for Gads Hill Center's 2016 Annual Spring Gala was amazing. With her tips on public speaking, we were able to raise much more money through our Gala than last year in the paddle raise, which in turn will help us reach more families in need of our services. I was able to overcome my public speaking insecurities and get comfortable in my own skin, which is a tremendous gift to give someone. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to get comfortable with public speaking."

-Rosa Julia Garcia Rivera, Gads Hill Center

"

Jennie worked with me in a university setting to develop and implement specific communications training techniques for post baccalaureate pre-medical students. Her work is cited in my research and a regular part of ongoing coursework. Her ability to blend theater arts, practical application, and simply perfect instructional methods is unparalleled. This multi-faceted, multi-talented woman has been an asset to the future professional development of medical students as well as an innovative collaborator with clinical medical science."

-Dr. Carsi Hughes, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Dominican University

"

I worked with Jennie while preparing for a TEDx Talk. I have limited public speaking experience so her passion and knowledge of how to communicate effectively were essential. Jennie had a wealth of exercises and advice that helped me with my delivery, as well as my presence and content. Her passion and enthusiasm are as important as any advice she has, it helps pull more out of you and makes her a wonderful person to work with. If you have the chance/need Jennie is great to work with and will be a huge help to you."
