“Jackie is a talented speaker who engages her audience through the use of well-researched and poignant stories. She communicates clear and memorable points. Jackie also comes across as a real and authentic person who connects with the everyday lives of people whom she meets.”

“Thank you, Jackie for your amazing speech. Your presence at our event created an atmosphere of elegance and an attitude of “It can be done!” Those attending the Gala were impressed with the kindness and the overwhelming joy that you exude as you speak. Your knowledge, your wisdom and your attendance to the little details of our event and our volunteers made all know we were in the presence of greatness.”

“In my opinion, Jackie would be a tremendous asset to any function you may have coming up that requires an up-beat, motivational and highly effective communicator! Her presentation is centered on “real-life issues”, and it is in no way political. Her message has a very broad audience appeal, and is gender neutral. I wholeheartedly endorse this outstanding young lady! Jackie truly makes the room shine when she walks in! “

I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how pleased our community was in having Jackie come to speak to our legislative prayer breakfast. The breakfast had been a small affair put together by a group of our local judges and their prayer group. To tell you the truth I personally didn’t even know there was such a breakfast.
This year the local Rotary and Kiwanis took a chance on turning this breakfast into a true community project. I agreed to chair this, I have to admit that by asking Jackie to speak I caused a small up a quiet but vocal uproar from the judges who thought I was trying to turn their prayer project into a political rally. I assured them that this was not the case.

On the day of the breakfast which was attended by about 175 community members about 5 x their usual group, Jackie through her presence and speech completely disarmed and charmed the original prayer group. She also pleased the crowd with her personal and touching comments. Her speech was inspiring and she now has insured that the prayer breakfast will continue and grow.

We would like to have Jackie come to our community again when the occasion arises to speak on the many other subjects she is qualified to expound upon. I personally appreciated meeting her and we are pleased to run her column in our paper.”

“Jackie was fantastic! I have gotten wonderful comments about our event this week. She was a pleasure to work with and her local ties really made the audience relate to her. Our event was a huge success. We had over 430 attendees.”

“We were honored to have Jackie as our Lincoln Day keynote speaker at our farthest north Republican Women’s Club in Fairbanks, Alaska. Jackie was sincerely a breath of fresh air. She was witty, warm, engaging, and most of all a wonderful motivational speaker who connected individually with audience members. Her message was strong and heartfelt. We treasured our time with her, albeit brief. Each of us took away a special message from her speech that has affected us in a most positive way. I hope others have the opportunity to hear her speak and enjoy those same treasured moments.”

“Jackie gave a great talk at our Afternoon with and Author event! Her message was perfect for our audience and we very much look forward to having her at future events!”

“Jackie was more than I had hoped for as a speaker. She was extremely interesting and knowledgeable but so human in relating to the audience. I don’t like laundry either, and most of us feel that raising our children is the most important job in the world. However, we also know we have to have a life outside of that, and people who “give back” are happier.”

“In the span of an hour, Jackie Gingrich Cushman embraced, motivated, and inspired us with her strength tempered with her vulnerability. An obvious “Type A” achiever, Jackie shared her own as well as her family’s expectations and experiences. As individuals, we have the choice of how we want to mentally deal with life’s challenges. We can cry defeat in round one. But, when we go the distance, we may find that the lessons learned along the way, can be as rewarding as the goal itself.”
