Jennifer Spear

We partnered with Jennifer to be our keynote speaker for our Technology Transformation Event series – 11 events taking place across 7 cities in North America. Our goal was to engage the hearts and minds of our technology team, to help them understand their role and be prepared for our transformation journey. As our keynote, Jennifer was outstanding in connecting with our employees and inspiring them to embrace change and be ready for the unexpected. She tailored her message to resonate with her audience and helped them connect the dots to see the path forward.

While some keynote speakers deliver their speeches and go – that’s definitely not the way Jennifer rolls. She has been a valued member of our team from day one – playing an integral part in the planning and delivery of our event series. Jennifer provided great insights and feedback to help us elevate and continuously improve the event experience. She is a true partner and has been a kind and thoughtful mentor to me. As the person accountable to make this event series happen, with Jennifer’s support I could confidently say I got this!

What do you do when you have a very serious ‘venue’ challenge and need a speaker who can strategically curate content that is relevant and delivered on a plane? Easy – you call Jennifer Spear! Jennifer is brilliant. She immediately understood the unique opportunity and provided truly innovative solutions. One of the things I respect most about her is the preparation time she invests to ensure success. Jennifer is a complete professional who is a joy to work with. I now have her on speed dial.

Jennifer spends time working with event organizers to truly understand her audience, and the purpose of the keynote within the broader event context and builds authentic and meaningful rapport with her clients. She delivers not only a keynote presentation but an experience for participants with tools they can use in their work environment. Our attendees rated her presentation as excellent, in both the content and presentation style. The audience liked how her closing keynote presentation brought the entire event full circle and left the delegates with a very solid message. Having Jennifer as part of our team gave us fresh insights into our members’ experiences and helped us achieve a deeper connection with those we serve.

Jennifer Spear is a gifted speaker who knows how to engage an audience, shake participants out of their comfort zones and help them start implementing strategies immediately. A frequent speaker at CSTD events including the national conference and the national symposium, she always receives the highest acclaim from participants. Not only does she provide memorable, informative sessions, but she has audiences laughing, standing, and participating at an unprecedented level. Regardless of the space or time constrictions, we may have placed upon her, Jennifer was able to adapt her content to our audience and our event while still managing to deliver superior results. As a conference planner, I have always found Jennifer to be a creative partner willing to test new strategies to help us boost attendance and engagement. She’s a pleasure to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to deliver fresh, positive and uplifting experiences to their colleagues, attendees or employees. I have no doubt she’ll prove an asset to your event.”

Working with Jennifer Spear has been an amazing experience. She continuously goes above and beyond to ensure the successful delivery of her programs and is always willing to try something new. Jennifer is not just an engaging speaker, she is also an innovator. We have worked together to create unique programming at conferences while connecting back to our brand, she has delivered cutting-edge content while speaking at 38,000 feet in the air, and she is my collaborator for ideas that need a little flare. Jennifer is a true industry leader and an absolute pro at what she does. I feel very fortunate to work with her.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Jennifer. She was our keynote speaker and facilitator for our first ‘Unconference’ for the MPI Ottawa chapter and this educational session wouldn’t have come together without her. She was very hands-on in developing the design of the sessions as soon as she came on board with us. Not only did all members of the planning team rave about working with her but also on our survey we had nothing but positive feedback about her from attendees. Here is an example of a comment ‘Jennifer Spear was excellent, she set the stage to ensure the success of the breakout groups, challenged us and brought a lot of value.’ I would highly recommend Jennifer and truly hope I have the opportunity to work with her again in the near future.
