What People Are Saying

“Dynamic. Compelling.”

“Jen had a calmness about her that made you feel like you were going to be okay, paired with the unique ability to relate to us…She took what we said [in our surveys] and actually applied it to us. It wasn’t just the same facts that she had told everyone; someone sat down and took our responses to heart and read through them.”

— College student, Concordia University

“Authentic. Raw. Real.”

“People all around us are hurting and suffering. You may feel the deepest levels of compassion and empathy and have absolutely NO IDEA what you can say or do to show care and comfort that authentically supports healing. Jen Marr gives us the exemplar roadmap on how to bridge this empathy-to-action gap. Every company and professional services firm needs to incorporate Jen's work into their gold standard training curriculum.”
