–Every individual and organization would benefit from Jenny Riddle’s Courageous Communicator public speaking training program. Jenny provided incredible training to our entire staff.
She shared effective tools and strategies for how to engage an audience. We learned immediately to be better communicators in settings as small as a board meeting and as large as a national conference. Her presentation was extraordinarily useful and embodied the very principles she was teaching us–how to be authentic, credible, persuasive, and courageous–all in a thoroughly engaging and entertaining manner. -Lisa Rice, CEO at National Fair Housing Alliance, Washington DC
–Jenny Riddle’s workshop on strategic storytelling was transformative. She has an incredible ability to distill complex communication principles into actionable insights, empowering attendees to craft compelling, authentic narratives. Jenny’s dynamic teaching style kept my staff engaged, and her real-world examples made the material incredibly relevant. Attendees left the session feeling inspired and equipped with practical tools to connect with audiences more effectively. Jenny’s expertise is unmatched—her training is a must for anyone serious about impactful storytelling. -Steve Majors, CCO at Teach for America, NY, NY
—Jenny Riddle is a masterful storyteller, but just as important she knows how to teach and inspire others to become great communicators. The tools and techniques she uses to draw individuals out are quite impressive. I have seen firsthand how she helps those stuck on the notion that “I am just not a good speaker or storyteller’”overcome their fear and insecurities.
She made a direct and lasting improvement with me. Any organization or individual will undoubtedly benefit from Jenny’s expertise. -Bob Schultz, President at The Causeway Agency, NY, NY
–Jenny is so engaging and provided such great information on strategic storytelling. I had my team listening yesterday, and each of them was equally impressed. Our intern said that often she finds webinars boring, but when this one was coming to an end, she wanted more. They didn’t even realize an hour had passed. I hope you can bring Jenny back for encore presentations! -Michelle Boykins, Director at Advancing Justice, Washington DC
–Jenny captivates her audience! We invited Jenny to present “Mastering the Art of Communication at Work” to a group of new and experienced managers.
Following the training, I heard participants say things like, “I plan to use the practice of finding my personal ‘why’ to give me more confidence when I speak.” Or, “I found the communication exercises we did, like power poses and visualization, are helping me overcome my fear of saying the wrong thing or looking insecure.”
Jenny is an excellent presenter who shares actionable communication tools and strategies in an engaging and enthusiastic manner. -Lynda McGrath, Human Resources Manager at private E-Commerce company, Chicago
–Jenny had everyone in the room captivated with her format–no one ready to leave when it was over. After the event, I heard statements from our members like ‘Inspiring,’ ‘Totally relatable,’ and even ‘We’ll be re-evaluating our marketing efforts so we can better tell our story.’
Jenny—you had us at the breakfast table over the fried eggs and crispy bacon, and we’d welcome you back any time. Thank you! -Deb Evans, President/CEO Bloomingdale Chamber
–Jenny Riddle is the best storyteller I know! That’s why we have her back year after year. We are always amazed, entertained, and inspired. -Jo Ayo, President of Glen Oak Book Review
–Jenny, I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful presentation you gave at the in-service last week. You touched so many of my staff on different levels and all of the feedback has been extremely positive.
I have been in the library profession for 31 years and have heard a lot of presentations, but I can honestly say yours was truly one of my favorites. -Rich Wolf, Director of Tinley Park Library

–Jenny, thank you for your five-star performance of your presentation of Diana Nyad “Find A Way” at The Little Travler. The audience was riveted throughout the presentation. Afterward, they continued to tell us how much they enjoyed the show. It was almost as if you became Diana Nyad during your convincing performance. You were truly wonderful!
-Sandy Fischer, Program Manager at The Little Traveler
–I wanted to thank you again for your program at our in-service last Friday. You touched the lives of many people that day in a positive way. Danielle was excited about one of the books you recommended and told her book group about it. Others talked about how your “tiny tips” can relate to their work and their lives. Thank you for your excellent work!! Keep shining!
-Jeannine Kacmar, Head of Public Services Palos Heights Library
–Watching your performance at Dickinson Hall of Vivian Maier, I was carried into the story immediately with your riveting portrayal of the character. Vivian came to live for me, and I was aware of the rest of the audience being drawn in as closely as I was. All in all the Jenny Riddle experience was outstanding!
-Marla Schachtel, Manager Dickinson Hall-Lake Forest
