We were very fortunate to have her at our Annual Business Formal in October 2018 which hosts over 350 business professionals, students, and faculty in Saskatoon. Her keynote address hit a chord with every person in the room. Jess has an incredible ability to connect with everyone no matter age, gender, or background. Attendees described her speech as “motivating and simply unforgettable.” You could only leave the room realizing that you can accomplish more than what you believed you ever could."

"Hearing Jess speak was very inspirational. Hearing her story from how she came from basically nothing to being very successful is definitely motivating as a business student. After hearing Jess speak today, it is clear that you can be successful even when people are telling you not to go for your goals. Not to mention she was very interesting to listen to. Loved every minute of it!"
