Jill was outstanding! We invited her to get our morning going and deliver a motivational talk, and she certainly delivered. She kept us engaged, spoke directly, and impressed everyone in attendance. We look forward to having her return to our event next year. Highly recommend her!!

Response from Jill Salzman:
Thank you so much, Lisa! It was my pleasure. Looking forward to seeing you all again next year!
Women Tech Founders (WTF) chose to have Jill Salzman lead both of our events for many, many reasons and we never considered anyone else:
1. Jill charges a room with positive energy. She empowers people.
2. Jill is whip smart. Her humor is strategic and cleverly effective.
3. Jill offers experienced suggestions and an easy-going working partnership attitude.
4. Jill is an awesome person. We work at the nation's largest incubator and Jill has a reputation of honesty, fierceness and FUN... so much fun - way more fun than regular people could ever hope to be. Everyone loves Jill.
Jill helped WTF create a memorable event that inspired everyone who participated and helped us land our reputation as the hot, new nonprofit in Chicago. She is exceptionally skilled in speaking, hosting and strategic event-planning.
I can't recommend Jill more.

Jill made the event what it was.
I was truly impressed. Her questions, approach, and enthusiasm were fantastic; I felt that everyone question was perfectly authentic and allowed the panelists to build on the topic given.
Additionally, on the panelist side, her advice, perspective, and honesty were so on point. It was refreshing to have an authentic (and young!), inspiring leader simply be focused on giving great direction. The attendees were grateful for her time, and so was I! Her employees, mentees, and family are lucky to have her!
I am truly thankful for Jill's time and hope we can work together again soon!

GE Chicago has an Annual summit that is hosted by the local GE Women's Network hub. Each year we carefully choose both internal and external speakers to match the theme of our summit. Jill's talk, titled "Bringing It, Elevating It, and Crushing It: Using Your Power to Succeed" included her story of being a "serial entrepreneur" and was a huge hit with the audience. The kudos from our participants included comments like "Since Jill's talk I am taking more risks!" Jill was an absolute delight to work with in setting up the event and collaborated flawlessly to ensure that her messages flowed nicely with the focus of the summit. I highly recommend having Jill speak at your next event, you will not be disappointed!

She was not only engaging and totally fun, but she also offered practical tips for our entrepreneurial group that they could take away and implement immediately. Thank you Jill for an amazing day and for help making our event such a success! See you next year!

Response from Jill Salzman:
So appreciate it, Leslie! Thank you for the kind review!!
Great class all. Enjoyed the active participation within the group as well as the guidance from the instructor. Much more valuable then toastmasters. Focusing on the substance of the speech is just as / if not more important then just talking about body language. Toastmasters is more of in improv / theater performance class. The professor nailed it. Jill was fantastic and she should expand her market presence. The class itself, as well as the loop is filled with business professionals. From a practical standpoint, we are looking to get better at facilitating and managing conversations. Love to see a class that taps into that market as well. Very enlightening all around.

Thank you so much, Bradley! Thrilled that you got so much out of the bootcamp. All the best to you.
Jill spoke to my group about pitching, and she was engaging and inspired everyone to brush up their pitching skills. Would hire her in a minute!

Jill hosted our TEDxNaperville and we needed a host who could bring energy to the event. Jill delivered, and delivered BIG.
Getting a full day conference style audience to keep pace and keep energized was no easy task, but Jill handled it with a natural flair.
