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.read moreread lessMolly Ostap6/13/2023I 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 Cleavesread moreread lessNikel Cleaves12/13/2022

- 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!read moreread lessMarina Sturm5/13/2023I have never been a huge fan of assessment testing until Paula at LFS. Here is why....she actually tied it to something that not only made sense but overwhelmed me like a firehose. She, in simple language for a simple guy, demonstrated how to leverage the information with supercharged communications which in turn creates high performing teams at multiple levels. BOOM....I have already recommended her to my network and "encouraged" them to call Paula and start making powerful use of powerful data.read moreread lessJim Constantine12/13/2022Paula was a guest speaker at our company retreat and what a TREAT it was for us! Paula was professional, engaging, funny, inclusive, and energetic!!!
