Testimonials

Jackie was invited to wrap-up our bi-annual early childhood Building Bridges Conference in Albury/Wodonga in May 2017. After “Tackling the Tough Stuff” (conference theme) Jackie’s presentation was informative, funny and thoroughly entertaining – definitely one of the highlights of the conference as delegates went away with a positive take-home message and a smile on their face. We highly recommend Jackie!

Jackie Furey was an absolute star. It is sometimes difficult to keep the attention of a police audience and they are sometimes very difficult to impress, but Jackie was able to do both. Our feedback from 400 delegates shows she had them captivated with her informative humorous and witty commentary.

Jackie wanted to say once again, thank you for the outstanding presentation you gave to our 2000 delegates in New Zealand. We have had tremendous feedback. Your ability to connect the theory of relationships with the practical was both intellectually rewarding and incredibly uplifting and funny. Understandably we had a waiting list for your workshop. We hope to see you next year.
