Paula's presentation was "EXCELLENT" The flow of her presentation was very insightful. The audience was engaged and understood the depth of her topic. Paula, for the WIN!

Participated in a workshop with Paula Jenkins! Highly recommend her to present to your group or your team. She was inspiring and extremely engaging!

I was delighted to attend an event featuring Paula Jenkins recently. She has a unique ability to connect with the audience and provide deeply insightful content to spur effective communication. I left feeling well-equipped to better manage my business and my team. I was impressed and inspired - her approach was exactly what I needed.

We were thrilled to have Paula Jenkins as our featured speaker at our Breakfast before Business recent networking event in Highwood. My first encounter with Paula was at another Chamber event, where she managed to capture my attention in a brief 30-second introduction. Impressed by her charisma, I reached out and invited her to join us in Highwood. Our event took place at a children's play space, a no-shoes, socks-only play area. Paula, embracing the unique setting, presented in her socks, showcasing her engaging and personable nature. Her presentation on communication styles was not only insightful but also immediately connected with the audience. Paula shared her personal journey, embracing her "unapologetically Paula" approach, and encouraged attendees to identify their communication styles by raising their hands high. The interactive session involved assigning qualities to these styles, resulting in an energetic and participatory atmosphere with raised hands and enthusiastic responses. Paula's ability to make the experience both enjoyable and educational was evident as the majority of the crowd stayed to engage with her after the presentation. In our conversation, Paula revealed that several attendees were repeat participants—a testament to her impact. If you have the opportunity, reason, or even a reasonable chance, I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Paula for your organization. Thank you, Paula, and please consider returning to Highwood again!

This is the second time I've had Paula speak for a leadership series for our Chamber of Commerce and to say the least she blew it out of the park. She was personable and engaging, had the audience enthralled and participating, which was great to see. We will definitely be booking her again. I can't recommend her enough.

The financial session presented by LFS Consulting at a recent college conference for women of color left an indelible mark on all attendees. LFS Consulting's presentation was a masterclass in financial education. Paula's deep knowledge and expertise were immediately evident, and her ability to convey complex financial concepts in a simple and engaging manner was truly remarkable. The high energy and enthusiasm they brought to the session were infectious, making the room come alive with excitement. It was clear that Paula was not just there to deliver information but to inspire and empower.

Paula was a guest speaker at our company retreat and what a TREAT it was for us! Paula was professional, engaging, funny, inclusive, and energetic!!! Her speaking topic on empathy in the workplace as well as learning about the DISC assessment was SPOT ON and well received by the entire staff! Thank you so much Paula, WE LOVED YOU!!!!

Paula was one of our keynote speakers for the McHenry Area Chamber LEAD conference. She was both informative and entertaining which is an important combination in a speaker. I've heard multiple speakers over the years on the topic of Communication and even a few who discussed the DISC assessment, but Paula's energy and relatability made this presentation so much more impactful. I would highly encourage working with Paula.

Today I feel compelled to post that I thoroughly enjoyed Paula Jenkin’s presentation at a local Chamber event. I highly recommend her for any speaking engagement. I love her strong and refreshing real approach to presenting herself in a real way that’s not only relatable but engaging and entertaining. Everyone at the seminar truly enjoyed it. The topic of communication from a leadership perspective was interesting and I can only say Hire Her if you can use great insight on how to work better with your team as well gain some insight on your own communication style. Additionally, she addresses her personal growth and her strong work experience and how it brought her to the industry of public speaking! 5 ⭐️ all day!

LFS Consulting is a fantastic company! I worked with Paula Jenkins in a professional capacity to develop and deliver exceptional diversity, equity, and inclusion training for my business. From start to finish, their team demonstrated an impressive level of professionalism and expertise that helped our organization deliver DEI training to the community. Paula is knowledgeable, engaging and passionate about creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone to learn and grow. She tailored the training to meet our specific needs and challenges, and the exercises she used were thought-provoking and practical, allowing us to apply what we learned immediately. Paula's commitment to DEI education and awareness is evident in everything she does. From the content of the training to the way she conducts herself with clients. She is also skilled at navigating difficult conversations and creating a space where everyone feels comfortable and respected. Overall, we had a fantastic experience working with Paula at LFS Consulting, and we highly recommend the company to any organization looking to grow in their DEI initiatives. Their approach is comprehensive, sensitive, and effective, and they truly go above and beyond to make a difference.

Paula Jenkins of LFS Consulting is a game changer. I have worked with her for the last 4 years as she provides coaching, guidance and leadership with a empathetic style. She meets you where you are and encourages you to discover the answer through thoughtful conversation and discussion. She brings a wealth of knowledge related to financial acumen and stewardship but more importantly she aimed to introduce ownership and accountability in her clients, not forced but welcome.

I had the privilege to attend Paula’s financial coaching sessions (twice)as well as a session on understanding your DISC style. She received rave reviews for both. Additionally, I worked with Paula in the corporate environment she speaks about leaving. I observed her unwavering leadership style and ability to make things better (e.g efficient and bringing out the best in others), and her skills in D&I. Paula has this unique way of impacting change in her workshops. She tells it like it is with a passion that makes participants stand up and take notice. You truly leave her sessions thinking, “Wow, where can I get more? My team needs this, my organization needs this”. If you or your group is ready for change, make the investment in her services. The results are priceless! Nikel Cleaves

Paula has an infectious energy when speaking that is not only engaging and inspiring... To listen to her, initiates a "Call to Action" If you, your team, or organization wants/needs to transform and improve, give her a call!

Paula led a workshop for a mix of women in business at our request. She tailored her presentation to meet our needs and wishes and brought knowledge, energy, and entertainment. It was a memorable and worthwhile hour that I benefitted from both professionally and personally! Thank you Paula for sharing your experiences and expertise!

Paula Jenkins will entertain you while teaching you the importance of knowing how to communicate properly and be a more effective manager/team leader. One of the best presentations I have been a part of in a long time. If you are looking to improve how you communicate with your team or even with your family, I highly recommend speaking with LFS Consulting.
