TESTIMONIALS

Senator the Honourable Penny Wong
Minister for Foreign Affairs, Australia

Thank you for your valuable contribution to the various events held on the sidelines of the FIFA Women's World Cup in Brisbane.

Your role as host of the Matildas virtual viewing event, the MC of the global leaders breakfast as well as a debater at the Gender Equality Symposium played a substantial role in the overall success of the program of events, and for that I want to pass on my sincere thanks.

I'd like to particularly acknowledge your flexibility to adapt to the evolving program, your humour during the debate, but overall, your professionalism and understanding of the importance of what the events stood for and aimed to achieve.

I first heard her speak in Sydney in 2010 and Jessica presented one of the most engaging and compelling stories I have ever heard. And I have heard many! ... Jessica Smith is a truly inspirational Australian and she has an inspirational story to share with you.

Jessica is a polished and motivational speaker.  Jessica draws from her own personal experiences to effectively paint a personal landscape that will give audiences insight to grow personal strength and bring about personal change. There is no one better to tell you about the journey than someone who is on that journey.

Jess is an incredible human. She has been through so much in her life and is hugely successful even after all the road blocks. She is very well spoken and opens up in a soft and warm manner & you're instantly drawn into her calming energy. Jess is not only a friend but an inspiring role model for women today.

Such a powerful voice for impressionable minds. Jessica has an important story to share with self-haters.. anyone who’s ever thought they’re flawed. She motivates us to fight our inner demons and rediscover our true beauty.

From my point of view, and I MC a lot of functions and presentations, the thing that stood out for me was not only your articulation but the generous way you linked in with the other panellists and the audience. This takes intelligence and experience.
