A Truly Gifted Speaker With Pizazz and Grace!

Jill Salzman was the motivational speaker for our recent Summer Institute and her presentation was breath-taking! Her discussion on selfcare and healing was dynamic, engaging and fun, and our Team members were ever so captivated by her polished style of communication, impeccable timing and wonderful sense of humor. Jill and I spoke by phone prior to the event and no more than 15 seconds into our conversation I knew we had found our guest speaker for the day. Jill was extremely personable and committed to tailoring her talk to fit the unique opportunities and challenges facing a nonprofit organization. We so look forward to the opportunity to work with Jill again!

Jill is an absolute SUPERSTAR

We contracted Jill for a voiceover role for an award show over 300 executive level professionals. From the get go, Jill was extremely responsive, eager and an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only did she deliver a fabulous performance, but was extremely communicative in practice runs, script previews and run throughs. No item was left to guess, Jill made sure she was on top of every aspect of her role, a true professional. We will absolutely be working with Jill again in the future!

Jill Salzman rocked our "Elevate to Win" summit

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!

Jill Salzman ROCKED our conference!

Jill Salzman was absolutely the star of United Women Entrepreneurs' annual conference. Her presence energized and set the tone for the entire day. 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!

About

Jill Salzman turns the mundane into inspiration and transforms the impossible into the achievable. Through defying expectations and breaking the rules, she succeeds in inspiring entrepreneurs to figure out what works for them by using meaningful action to create positive results. Jill is the author of The Best Business Book In The World and the Amazon best-seller, Found It.

She’s shared the speaker stage with Richard Branson, Sheryl Sandberg, Daymond John, Marilu Henner, and Desmond Tutu among others, and professed her love of Eddie Vedder in her TEDx talk on 11/11/11. She hosts the top-rated entertaining business podcast, Why Are We Shouting?, a question she asks herself daily. CNNMoney calls her a  "mogul.” Forbes rated her a Top 100 Champion Small Business Influencer and voted her company one of the Top 10 Websites For Entrepreneurs.

When she's not speaking to audiences in patterned leggings or podcasting from her basement, she fruitlessly tries to convince her daughters that cassette tapes actually existed.
