Speaker One-Sheet

We start with CURIOSITY. We end with TRANSFORMATION.

BOOK A CONSULTATION with JEAN MARIE
to discuss your organization's needs.

"Jean Marie's talk struck a chord for many members of our organization and leaders of the community when she spoke at our International Training & Development Summit. Her topic was very well received and the techniques she shared provided a refreshing insight into what many great leaders do at work. Her energy was just right and she connected with the audience with ease. Even as she was speaking to over 250 people, she made the audience feel she was speaking to them as one." 

~ Liza Kristine Suarez, President, Philippine Society for Training & Development - Cebu Corp. / HR Manager, Maayo Group

"I have enjoyed working with Jean Marie over the last 8 months as she delivered the "Art of Asking Powerful Questions" series to 100 of our Leaders across the globe. It was a great program, very stimulating and very well done. Her content is excellent and her conviction to her very sincere “higher” purpose is obvious and engaging. Her book which she made available to all participants is filled with great insights, practical ideas and great questions of course. Her work ethic is impeccable, always so prepared and diligent and her delivery showed that she cared a lot about helping us. We were really impressed with her dedication and how much her passion, joy and authenticity came shining through.  We are really grateful and appreciate her contribution to our culture." 

~ John Hogan, Senior Managing Director, Broadridge Financial Solutions

"The training was extremely interesting and useful. Many of my colleagues remarked how helpful it was. Jean Marie presented the material with expertise, credibility and genuineness. She got the learning message across by breaking everything down into simplified concepts; human potential is higher than ever, the world’s advancements present us with ever more complex problems. On a bigger scale, renaissance leaders are key players in the integration of people and organizations. The topic was very relevant to my job and profession and will help me in many aspects of my work and organization." 

~ Michael Martinez Godinez, President, People Management Association of the Philippines -Cebu Chapter / HR Practitioner

"The topic on Renaissance Leadership was quite a revelation for me. As a former recruiter, I tend to pigeonhole applicants to a specific skill-set fit for a particular position. Jean Marie teaches us that casting a wider net will enable us to hire the true creative geniuses. Instead of stereotyping the "eccentrics", we should create an environment that will allow them to innovate and cultivate their hidden talents; thus making them the future pillars of the organization. I highly recommend her topic for all HR practitioners. It is truly an eye-opener." 

~ Melanie Rose Yap, HR Specialist - OD, Visayan Electric Company 

" Jean Marie is an excellent coach and facilitator. She combines a natural aptitude to bring multiple viewpoints into alignment with a keen understanding of what makes businesses (and people) truly successful. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services."

~ Joseph N. COO Asset Management at a Large Financial Institution

"Jean Marie made our virtual training session absolutely engaging and a lot of fun. I did not realize until the end of the session that we were on for over 2 hrs. The technology worked seamlessly and does not come in the way of the course content. The course content is just right and covers the essentials of what we needed to get started with coaching our virtual teams." 

~ VP of IT Services Global Marketing for a Large Global Consumer Company

"What stood out most about Jean Marie's E-Learning is how succinct and valuable the courses were for our staff and how easy it was to work with Jean Marie. The E-Learning was a great complement to our in-person training and they were a huge benefit to our staff towards building good will and engagement. As a result of the E-Learning our employees are listening better and understanding each other more in meetings and in their communication."

~ Ann Miller, Senior VP, HR & Admin at Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, Ltd.
