Testimonials

Dear JoAnna, on behalf of YWCA Australia I wish to extend our sincere thanks to you for presenting as a Keynote Speaker at the SHE Leads Conference. Participants feedback rated your presentation “Rethinking Life” as excellent and received a high number of additional outstanding comments. We felt your presentation was an excellent way to end the conference and the way you delivered your presentation kept people engaged right until the end.

JoAnna is an inspirational and motivational speaker. Her passion is infectious, and she is able to engage her audience effectively and with verve. JoAnna is also skilled at distilling the main points of a presentation into easy to inspire and remember points. JoAnna inspires her audiences who are full of praise for both her speaking content and her presenting style.

It was very obvious that our audience was astoundingly impressed with JoAnna’s presentation and we received a very positive response from all our attendees as well as in the feedback following the session. JoAnna speaks with conviction, clarity and humour and we would welcome her back to speak with us any time.

JJ was a perfect fit for a FCTG conference.  Her humour, messaging, and direct approach were all spot on.  Become, Attract, and Create worked beautifully with our theme of shaping the future.  What the team and I appreciated most about JJ was her honest and gritty style, which was not only refreshing but captivating. We were delighted to have JJ at our conference, and she exceeded our expectations.  It was also wonderful to have her join us and the team for lunch to continue the conversation.

I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for joining us on Wednesday to share your story.  We had over 100 people join the call and in the meetings I’ve had since Wednesday morning everyone has been talking about how much they enjoyed your presentation, what a refreshing view you shared, how thought provoking it was and what an inspiring story.  You kept us all enraptured and we could have easily listened to you for another hour! It was so lovely to meet you and we wish you all the best.

JJ is unapologetically JJ in a way that makes the audience feel safe, energised and motivated to make the world a better place. JJ has a humble approach to telling her story in the most honest and open way she can. JJ overlays important and complicated topics with humour and relatability, keeping the audience engaged for the entire session. We had absolutely glowing feedback from attendees, many saying it was the best LGBTQIA+ event they had attended at their time in the organisation. Highly recommend JJ as keynote speaker for any upcoming events.
