I was absolutely captivated by JJ from the moment she walked on stage. She has such an authentic and genuine presence, and I could have listened to her talk for a million more hours. I really loved this session and I felt honoured to have been there to hear her share her story in an authentically vulnerable way, I left wanting to do the work so I could be a better human. Thank you so much for arrange the event.

I would love to thank JJ for her statement about "not being a woman".  It was so brave, in a time where many are doing the opposite, stating men can have babies and periods etc. Why can't we all be celebrated for our differences, men, women, trans, furry, the labels go on and on... we are all so individual, perfect in our imperfection's.  Why can't we look beyond our physical shell and see the perfect being?   Thank you JJ for talking sense in a world that is upside down.  And above all for sharing an inspiring journey to yourself xx

What a fantastic event! I think when allies ask, "how can I be a better ally?" I found it difficult to provide an answer that goes beyond educating oneself, showing up to events and wearing Pride colours. These of course are important acts of support but hearing JJ's actionable and empowering self-reflection exercise was a real light-bulb moment for me. I walked away feeling more empowered and equipped to help my friends and colleagues interested in becoming better allies. Powerful stuff. Thank you JJ

The talk JJ delivered for us was very well received within Microsoft.  We had a number of people commenting that the subject JJ spoke on ‘Leading through Personal Transformation’ was really relevant, especially as Microsoft have had a few roles impacted recently as part of the headcount reduction corp announced earlier in the year.  The GLEAM team who hosted the event also commented how lovely and engaging JJ was. 

I really loved 'being a better human' was the key message on how to be a better Ally. This was a very different narrative to previous events I’ve been to and I loved the message that in order to see change in the world we must first change ourselves. I think this type of content could be helpful to everyone seeking to be a better ally.

A big thank you for your amazing presentation and presence at today’s Work180 event. I’ve struggled to communicate my thoughts on gender and contribute to discussions in a meaningful way. You caused light bulbs to go on!!!!! Your approach to the inner-voice and importance of phraseology was empowering. Thank you for reminding me of those things 

Hi JJ, just a quick note to say your presentation was really inspiring, thank you!! It helped me put a few things in perspective. Your message helped me find the courage to go after what I truly felt was right for my work life capacity and to be true to who I am in every aspect. I can't wait to explore what that might be and I'm more excited now about the opportunities than ever before. The fact that you restarted and built up again helped me see it was possible.
