“I have had the pleasure of attending several presentations delivered by Jackie on a range of subjects and every time she is able to keep the full attention of the audience, with a range of audience participation activities. She always knows her subject matter in great depth and comes across very confident and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jackie to deliver a presentation for your company.”
