“One of the most inspirational speakers I have met. Jenny was eloquent and modest she totally drew the listeners in. Some of us forgot where we were, we were so enthralled. Absolutely fantastic.Jenny was warm and friendly with an incredible story to tell and was extremely engaging - her determination to achieve was evident. She was passionate yet realistic. I have seen many speakers over the years and less than a handful has been able to capture an audience without anyone realising that time had passed. She was genuinely inspirational”
