Jessica was an EXCELLENT guest speaker for our spouse's breakfast event at the Broadmoor. I was fortunate to meet with her personally before the event and she shared so much about her life, both before and after such a harrowing experience. I was moved to tears when I read her book IMPOSSIBLE ODDS, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the ballroom as she shared her experience with all of us. | Beth Szymczak | Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association | https://placid-fra.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/production/rest-images/zqiq8n9efryrq/airtable-97a78121d900d92420944e181dc51d86-zz43asec.png
Jessica was a fantastic speaker, I know she touched so many in our audience yesterday. Many of our guests came up to me after her presentation and raved. It was an honor to have Jessica tell her story. I will be forever touched her courage and dignity. | Kelley Stachurski, Director | SIGINT Systems | https://placid-fra.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/production/rest-images/zqiq8n9efryrq/airtable-35c2ce944b70642dd96c4c579d35b393-r6k0ge0d.png
