Corporate testimonials

“Jill was a phenomenal success at our Business Women in Sussex event. Her unique style is not only fun and entertaining but her workshop inspirational and thought-provoking. Our delegates all went away with invaluable ideas about how to make their presentations stand out from the crowd.”

“Jill’s workshop significantly improved my confidence. Prior to meeting her I always kept my “daft” sense of humour hidden…not knowing how it would be received. Now I just go with it and I always manage to make my clients/business associates/audience smile and laugh. Great stuff…”

Susan Fleet, Lea Graham (PR and Marketing) Associates Ltd

“Just to say a big, big, big thank you on behalf of us all for your day last week. It was a most enjoyable and worthwhile workshop.”

Dave Flower, Key Account Manager, Leading Edge Bars team, !nBev UK Ltd.

“Learning from you really was invaluable. You gave such good advice that will stick with me; so for that I’m really appreciative. Not only that but you gave me a huge boost in confidence and your personal feedback is now tucked away in my filofax I carry around with me at work! Always good to read if you need to remember you’re funny (when you’re convinced your customer thinks you’re not!!!!).

Vicki Davies, National Accounts Manager, Anheuser-Busch

“Jill brought a unique perspective and fantastic coaching skills to the training sessions we ran together at Imperial, and the combination was unbeatable. Watching academics realise that boring isn’t a prerequisite of intelligent communication and that they could use humour to make their work more accessible lifted the whole process - and gave us some most unexpected comedy moments. Who knew that Condensed Matter Theory could be that funny?”

Pauline Buchanan Black, partner in consultancy Agents for Change, now Director- General, The Tree Council.

“Jill ran a workshop for us as part of Brighton’s Winter Pride event, aimed at the LGBT community. The event sold out very fast, got incredibly positive feedback from participants and some even made their stage debut at my show later that week and went down a storm with the audience. Jill’s ability to take participants from complete beginners to performing a short set in one day is remarkable. Accessible, engaging and great fun! Highly recommended.”

Steve Bustin, booker & compere, Bright’n’Queer. Workshop funded by “Pride.”

“Within minutes we were all learning the basics of stand-up comedy. The safe and friendly environment that Jill fosters soon had everyone feeling at ease and comfortable performing on stage. I really felt I’d achieved something. Jill’s guidance and coaching methods made it easy to learn and unlock the potential comic within.”

Workshop participant Richard Sawyer, Training Director, Estee Lauder

“Within three hours she has me writing and performing a three minute stand-up set.”

Matt Keating, The Guardian

“One of the most effective trainers I've seen in twenty years of organising training.”
