Jennifer was amazing! She was engaging, a great storyteller, and her message was extremely well aligned to our event. We could tell she took the time to understand who we are as an organization and drew parallels so well on how we can all find balance and strive for excellence in our everyday. ​

Jennifer Botterill spoke exceptionally well to Deloitte's Next Generation CIO Academy. She was engaging, honest, thoughtful and funny. The audience was extremely absorbed in her message, and Jennifer presented us with numerous words to live by. Many in the audience even took notes on her presentation, a strong vote of confidence from a group of senior leaders. In short, I would not hesitate to have Jennifer back to engage broader audiences at Deloitte.

Jennifer Botterill – our keynote speaker at four events, each with a different audience and all very successful!  Jennifer is a proud and patriotic, family-centred woman with a ready laugh who demonstrates an open desire to interact with the guests/attendees.  Her energetic and goal-oriented style is authentic, sincere, and positive.  Jennifer has an admirable ability to connect her presentation and personal successes to the audience with only a short briefing meeting in preparation for presenting.  She delivers an impactful presentation that resonates with the attendees both on a professional and personal level – living in the moment but never losing sight of your goal; the critical importance of teamwork; the focus on others – that of making people around you better; the joy of celebrating others and sharing success; the magnitude of being supportive; and the significance of honouring the past – what and who got you to where you are.

"Inspiring” “Captivating” “Dynamic” "These were the words used to describe Olympian Jennifer Botterill after her speech to over 300 surgeons at the 69th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. You could have heard a pin drop in the room as the Canadian women’s hockey star delivered a talk on perseverance, teamwork, and following your dreams. Afterwards, the long lineup of people wanting an autograph or photo with Jennifer and her Olympic medals seemed to last forever and serves as a testament to her riveting speech and powerful impact on the audience. “When she spoke of the joy that she felt when she saw her teammates receive their gold medals after the Olympic hockey final game, I understood what it meant to be part of a real team and to lift up those around you so we can all perform at our best”. She is an accomplished speaker who graciously connects with an audience and delivers a message of teamwork, effort, and dedication. Jennifer, thank you for being a part of our meeting and inspiring our group to work together and go ‘faster, higher, stronger’.

I frequently entertain some of my most valuable and important clients at fundraising events for the Canadian Olympic Foundation, and have been fortunate enough to watch and listen to Jennifer first-hand as a keynote speaker at some of these events. Notwithstanding how high the bar is set for Jennifer given her athletic and educational accomplishments, and her reputation as a motivational speaker, Jennifer always exceeds expectations.  She has a captivating on-stage presence and that special ability to instantly connect with her audience.  Her messages about hard work, dedication, positive attitude, and mental clarity and focus to reach goals and overcome obstacles resonate deeply with the audience, and in ways that allow audience members to tailor those messages to personal experiences and challenges.  Jennifer’s one of a kind and would make any client event memorable.

Jennifer Botterill is an incredibly accomplished and dynamic speaker. No matter the audience, she is able to connect with listeners on a profoundly personal level by sharing personal stories, humourous moments and inspirational lessons she’s learned throughout her own journey. She has spoken before tens of thousands of young people from the We Day stage encouraging them to unleash their talents and help change the world, and at Gala dinners before Free The Children’s biggest stakeholders and corporate partners. It is has been thrilling to have Jennifer Botterill, a remarkable individual both on and off the ice, participate in We Day activities and I give her my highest recommendation.

Jennifer’s ability to connect her personal experiences of effort, dedication, overcoming challenges, sharing successes, and most of all working together as a team to accomplish goals and dreams was amazingly well received by our entire Franchisee network.  A testament to her acceptance and appreciation was delivered in an extended standing ovation that was our group’s way of saying “Thanks!” Jennifer’s pre-presentation work, analysis and effort to ensure the parallels of her message would connect to our audience was extremely appreciated and without question, has left a meaningful impact on our Franchisee group, that many still reference to me over a year later!  Her on stage presence, comfort, and pleasant demeanour are qualities that certainly enhance her excellent communication skills in a package that certainly “makes it all work”. She is one of Canada’s greatest female hockey players of all time, an accomplished professional speaker and communicator and best of all one of the most pleasant and genuine people you could ever possibly be associated with.

Jennifer's positive energy and enthusiasm was contagious. We couldn't have asked for a better way to launch our sales meeting. Jennifer's story was a beautiful source of inspiration and national pride, which set a positive tone for our meeting. Our group appreciated the mix of video and storytelling along with the chance to view Jennifer's medals!

I have had the pleasure of hosting events with Jennifer Botterill on several occasions.  These events have ranged from internal employee engagement celebrations to external events with some of Canada's most accomplished CEOs.  At each venue, she has led our audience through an inspirational journey – one that has linked the themes of persistence, the importance of goals, overcoming defeat, moving on from triumph, and the importance of seeking accomplishment and self-fulfillment along life’s journey.  Her unique skill is her ability to personalize her story and leave the audience feeling that they have connected with her personally, and that through her example, anything is possible – not just in sport, but in accomplishing any bold ambitions one might establish for themselves or their business.  She is a tremendous Canadian role model!

Jennifer's work on and off the ice for Hockey Nation & Think Hockey was second to none.  Her energy, enthusiasm and unwavering positivity lift the staff, parents and players around her.  Corporate partners can't say enough about what she brings to the program.  Jennifer's knowledge and experience in both hockey and life - and her desire to share them with those around her - make her an amazing addition to any program.
