Testimonials

My experience working with JJ DiGeronimo was superb. Her level of professionalism, as well as her wittiness and relevant topics promised a successful event. Through feedback from the sold-out event, 100% of attendees thought JJ’s presentation was useful.” – Dana Pierce, Saunders College of Business at RIT

 

It was a delight to have JJ as a speaker. Here presentation style is very open and welcoming. Her message was clear and well-articulated. She took much time after the speech to answer additional questions and network with attendees. She was extremely easy to communicate with prior to the event and willing to help out with planning. It was a great experience as the organizer and for the attendees! Plan to have her back again soon.” – Pam Kozelka, VP Operations at Content Marketing Institute

 

JJ added such warmth and fun to a bleak January day when she spoke to our Glass Ceiling Group at Cuyahoga Heights High School.  The “real life” information JJ presented to the girls was invaluable!  The life lessons she shared with the girls were things I wished I had known at a much younger age. I watched the girls’ faces as JJ spoke and I know they were really taking in her words.” – Pat, Career Specialist Cuyahoga Heights High School
