testimonials

“During my nearly thirty years in schools I have come across a precious few individuals who can thoroughly capture the hearts and minds of an adolescent audience. Jennifer Pharr Davis is one of them."

Benjamin D. Williams, IV, Head of School Cate School, Carpinteria, CA

“Jennifer’s story will touch every emotion and leave you amazed at her towering strength and perseverance. Her authenticity and genuine spirit make you feel as though you have known her forever. Jennifer received high marks at our Women’s Leadership Summit. The feedback from our audience was tremendous! She left our female leaders inspired and motivated to never doubt the possible.”

Clarissa Felts, VP of Collaboration, Lowe’s Corporation, Inc.

“Jennifer blew us all away. At one point, there was not a dry eye in the audience – at another, there was a smile on every face – and in between, we were all impressed. All 600+ of us left the luncheon inspired and awed by this amazing woman. She tailored her presentation for the audience and we appreciated that. Many of our “wow” cards (review cards turned in by attendees) said that Jennifer’s presentation was the best of the conference and the best we had had in years. And, as the organizer, I must say that she was a joy to work with.”

Sarah Justice, President NCSLMA

“Jennifer’s story is more than just breaking records; it's a story about triumph over hardship – pushing far beyond what she thought she was capable of doing. But her story is also about support and dedication to others; acknowledging that her journey is more than just her own accomplishments. Jennifer is a talented speaker, illuminating her journey in a compelling and gripping way. Our audience very much enjoyed her talk; she is one of the best speakers we’ve had for the Outdoor Program.”

Dan McCoy, Outdoor Rec. Coordinator University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY

“Jennifer gave a terrific presentation at our Google campus. She is a world class athlete and an equally impressive speaker. I would guess that more than a few audience members will venture into the High Sierras this weekend, thanks to Jennifer's exciting and compelling tales. I would highly recommend Jennifer for business gatherings of any size.”

Andrew de los Reyes, Event Organizer Google, Mountain View, CA

“I was thrilled that we could have Jennifer address our sales division meeting. We worked together in advance of her presentation so that she could craft a personalized message that addressed our specific team objectives, transitions and challenges. Her message hit the mark in several areas that ‘spoke’ to our group – including teamwork, persistence and commitment. Her story of the AT is an intriguing one that makes you think hard about work, life and attitude. And the response from meeting attendees was overwhelmingly positive.”

Kathy Keily, SE Region Sales Director, American Airlines
