Truly the perfect Officiant

From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make our ceremony everything we hoped for and more. She listened to our needs, worked with our budget without making us feel limited, and brought such a calming, genuine presence to our day. During the ceremony, she fit right in so naturally - it felt personal, meaningful, and full of love. We are incredibly grateful for her and would recommend her every single time to anyone looking for an officiant who truly cares.

Dear Emily,

Thank you so much for those incredibly kind words! Reading your review truly made my day.

It was an absolute honor to officiate your wedding to Dane. From the moment I stepped into your family's beautiful home in Verona, I felt welcomed with such open arms and genuine kindness. Your family has a warmth that is rare, and it made the ceremony feel so personal and full of love—which is exactly what we aimed for!

I am so grateful that I could be a part of such an intimate and meaningful milestone for you both. Seeing the foundation of support you have in your family was inspiring. I am still smiling thinking about the joy in the room, especially knowing the wonderful blessing you that are still to come for your family!

Thank you for trusting me with your "short and sweet" (and perfect!) day. I would be thrilled to work with your family again in the future. Wishing you, Dane, and your growing family a lifetime of happiness!

With Gratitude,
Jean - aka - Jeanius

TROY! This review is absolutely outstanding!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share these incredible words. Hearing that we "ROCKED" and delivered a simply outstanding service means the world to me!

It was a genuine honor celebrating you and Jessica at the Wyandot Winery. That high-energy group of Family-Friends- and First Responders made the event an absolute blast—the games fun were a huge success because you two are such awesome people!

I'm thrilled you recognized the administrative efficiency and the teamwork between myself and Will (my manager and music coordinator/DJ). We pride ourselves on making the preparation process seamless so we can focus 100% on keeping the crowd engaged and having fun on your special day.

Thank you for your very high recommendation. Wishing you and Jess a lifetime of happiness and amazing adventures! (and of course hoping to connect with you for anything needed in the future!)

With MUCH Gratitude, Jean-aka-JEANIUS! (and Will!)

Funny and Engaging

We were honored to have Jean speak at our Eagle Leadership event in Cincinnati, Ohio. Jean tailored the presentation perfectly to our topic of keeping remote workers engaged. Her delivery was positive, motivational, and engaging. She had everyone in the room on the edge of their seats and involved in the discussion. We have heard nothing but positive feedback from all of those in attendance at the event. Jean was amazing to work with and we could not have asked for a better speaker.

Amanda I had sooo much fun with the EAGLES! I hope today made them feel empowered and ready to take on the world!

Thank you so much for this amazing review! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and the Sheakley Eagles Leadership team.

I am so happy to hear that the "Virtual Water Cooler" talk and team build engaged resonated so well with everyone. Seeing the audience on the edge of their seats and involved and enjoying the game crafted just for them was truly the best part for me.

I appreciate your kind words more than you know. I had a fantastic time, and I would be honored to return and speak for your organization again anytime.

Please tell the team to remember: Who are we? EAGLES!!!!!

With MUCH Gratitude,
Jean-aka-JEANIUS!

Auglaize County ESC Annual Bus In-service

We were honored to welcome Jean Dugger as our keynote speaker for the Annual Bus In-service Training held on June 17, 2025, at St. Marys Memorial High School. Jean delivered an engaging, heartfelt, and powerful message that truly resonated with our transportation staff and educational team members.

One of the highlights of Jean's presentation was her introduction of the STOP approach to supporting Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) on the bus. Her approach provided clear, practical strategies for managing student behavior in a positive, proactive way—helping bus drivers feel more confident, supported, and prepared.

Jean also emphasized an often-overlooked truth: the school bus is the first classroom students enter each day, and the last classroom they leave. This powerful reminder underscored the vital role our transportation staff plays in setting the tone for a student’s school experience—both at the beginning and end of the day.

Through humor, real-life stories, and a deep understanding of student behavior, Jean connected with our team on a personal and professional level. The feedback from our staff has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing how refreshed, valued, and motivated they felt after hearing her speak.

We highly recommend Jean Dugger from Jeanius Motivation and Coaching LLC to any organization looking for a dynamic speaker who.

Hi Donna,

Wow, this review absolutely made my day, my week, and truly, my month! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and for such a heartfelt endorsement of the "STOP Method" presentation at the Annual Bus In-service Training yesterday.

It was genuinely my honor and a complete joy to connect with the dedicated transportation staff and educational team members of Auglaize County ESC. Hearing that the message resonated, that the "STOP Method" provided clear, practical strategies, and that your team felt refreshed, valued, and motivated—that's exactly the "Jeanius" impact I strive for! Your team's energy and openness to new strategies were truly inspiring.

The feedback you shared, especially about reinforcing the bus as the 'first and last classroom,' means the world to me. It reaffirms the vital role each and every one of you plays in shaping students' daily experiences.

Thank you again, Donna, for this wonderful opportunity and for such a glowing recommendation. I had an absolutely fantastic time!

I'm thrilled that the "STOP Method" was such a success for your team. If you or other districts are ever looking to bring this powerful message, or any other motivational and transformational topics, to more teams, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd be absolutely delighted to continue empowering educators and professionals like yours.

Best regards,

Jean Dugger (Jeanius Motivation and Coaching LLC)
