“more stuff girlls said: Sarah M. - Jeanne is a powerful leader and a great inspiration to those around her. While attending the SuperGirlls Bootcamp, I was so impressed by how she engaged others and brought them into the conversation. Jeanne individually reached out to connect after the session and continued to make sure that I felt supported. She is passionate, bold, and incredibly confident in helping others build their networks and their personal brands, inspiring success in others by setting an incredible example herself. ”

“I have had clients who have released their fears, such as one who could not drive over bridges or through tunnels without either turning back or having a panic attack (in Hampton Roads!). In 4 sessions, we rode across a bridge and through a tunnel together, and she is now running her own successful business without that hindrance of the past. What a relief!”

“After posting this offer, I was thrilled to receive a message from Julia, a Class of 2015 alumna in the D.C. area who was interested in expanding her journalism experience through the Pulitzer Center's fellowship. She and I scheduled a phone call to discuss the program and her proposal and I encouraged her to apply. Julia's project idea impressed the selection committee and she was selected as one of our three inaugural "Beyond War" reporting fellows. In addition to connecting about her fellowship, she and I realized that we have several mutual friends in the area and continue to be professional contacts. Her incredible work can be found here: https://pulitzercenter.org/projects/good-friday-agreement-20-years-womens-work”
