Jenn Donahue

We had to honour to have Jenn come and speak at the NEBB Canada Annual Recertification Seminar. Her approachability and warmth put everyone at ease. Jenn has a wealth of experience in dealing with high-stakes and high-risk situations and yet, her stories are very relatable, speaking to the common human experience in every one of us. I highly recommend Jenn for any audience that needs their spirits lifted, their confidence boosted, and simply a powerful reminder that anything is possible if you believe.

Jenn Donahue's unique background - from civil engineer to Navy Captain to global construction leader - gives her rare credibility when speaking about resilience and overcoming challenges. She translates military and engineering experience into practical frameworks that truly resonate. Look around the room when she speaks and you'll see everyone completely tuned in. Her combination of authentic warmth and battle-tested expertise makes her an exceptional keynote choice.

Jenn delivered her ‘Becoming a Warrior’ presentation at our annual company conference that captivated our audience and left a lasting impact. She took the time to understand our organization, our people and what is important to our team members to tailor her content. Not only was Jenn’s talk engaging and thought-provoking, it was also full of actionable insights that resonated deeply with our attendees. I wholeheartedly recommend Jenn to any organization looking for a speaker who can both educate and inspire.

We loved Jenn's keynote. The messaging was right on point with what we were hoping to see. She was a pleasure to work with leading up to the event as well.

Jenn presentation for our group was hands down one of the best presentations I have seen. The effort she put in to prepare for us was top notch. Her speech was engaging, enthusiastic, and all around amazing. By the time she was done, we left feeling empowered and ready to take on whatever was ahead of us. Jenn was the final speaker at our event and couldn’t have asked for a better way to end the week.

Relatable and dynamic, Jenn is able to deliver an inspiring message about overcoming obstacles in life and on the job. Her engaging presentation includes concrete, actionable steps for developing skills. Drawing from her considerable experience and unique background, Jenn expertly weaves story and theory into tips on overcoming challenges encountered on the way to becoming a stronger leader in any field. We were very pleased with the personal testimony to her delivery that many in the audience shared afterwards.

It was our pleasure to welcome Jenn Donahue to our organization’s leadership symposium as our keynote presenter. Before her presentation, she took time to learn about our audience and what they hoped to gain from her presentation. She shared her personal experiences to inspire everyone to examine their values, leadership style, and the “line in the sand” each of us needs to decide we won't cross. She gave pertinent examples of imposter syndrome and shared the vulnerability she experienced early in her career as she made tough choices and developed into the leader she is today.

Jenn was an absolute pleasure to work with and her presentation was nothing short of outstanding. Her dedication, experience, and warm personality made a significant impact on our event, leaving us feeling empowered for the rest of the conference. I wholeheartedly recommend Jenn to any organization seeking a speaker who not only delivers exceptional content but also enhances the overall event experience.

Jenn was extremely professional and a pleasure to meet. She engaged our audience prior to her presentation to ensure inclusion on the day of our event. She was fun, energetic, and presented ideas that can be applied in work or our everyday life. Highly recommend Jenn as a speaker/presenter.

We couldn't ask for a better speaker for our event. Jenn was amazing! Her ability to match the message to the needs of our audience was a gift. Her message will continue to impact our area for years to come. We've even had people reach out to tell us how much it meant to them. And as an event planner, you can't ask for more than that.

If you are looking for a dynamic ‘thinker’ with technical acumen and next level thinking, you need one of Jenn D. workshops and innovative presentations. She has real world leadership experience that drives theory to practice.

Captain Jenn Donahue's message was exactly what I was hoping for, inspiring everyone, no matter where you are in your career to take that next step and accept the challenge before you. I had countless people come up to me and thanked me for inviting you to our conference. She knocked it out of the park and the speech was exactly the message I wanted our audience to hear. Bravo Zulu

She was incredibly well-prepared with real life anecdotes that helped tell her story and keep it interesting. I would welcome the chance to hear her speak again, and thoroughly enjoyed the entire process from conception to delivery and final follow up. I highly recommend Jenn to anyone who is looking for a keynote speaker that is warm, engaging, incredibly talented, and a natural at sharing her wisdom.

I just wanted to let you know that I honestly felt that it was the absolute best session of the day, and to say “thank you” for delivering such a phenomenal message that I personally needed to hear!

I wanted to reach out and express my gratitude for the opportunity to watch your speech, "Becoming the Warrior: Strategies to Break Through and Achieve," at the PMI event. Your speech left a profound impact on me. It was emotional, powerful, and inspiring, but it also ignited a newfound belief in myself as a “WARRIOR”. Once again, thank you for your remarkable speech, and I look forward to continuing my journey as a “warrior”, armed with the tools and inspiration you have provided.

Jenn was a dynamic speaker, her presentation on leadership was contemplative and entertaining. She took our Hybrid program from good to excellent
