Testimonials
“Jennifer is a master at coaching! I had the remarkable opportunity to meet and work with her this past year. I was at the lowest point of my career and life. Jennifer’s assistance helped me realize the person and manager I wanted to become. It was a terrifying, exhilarating and rewarding experience all at the same time. Her personal approach and own life experiences offered so much to the process. She has an uncanny ability to know exactly what her clients need. She always challenged me to find the right solutions and answers. I now see the world and life so differently. Everyone should be so lucky to be able to experience this magic.”

Manager of the Provincial Offences Court
“After surviving a number of emotionally-devastating experiences at work, Jennifer's coaching is one of the main reasons I have remained at my job. Jennifer provided me the space to share my experiences without judgement and the opportunity to reconnect with my passions. My experience with her has redefined for me how I can be the change I want to see.”

“RESPECT has been an excellent resource for our organization for over 15 years. Jennifer and her team have conducted numerous human rights related education sessions at many different levels throughout the organization. RESPECT’S expertise in mediating complex issues, coaching of staff and specialized sensitivity training has simply been invaluable. Over the years, I have never hesitated in recommending RESPECT to my colleagues in the field.”

“I believe an integral part of the mediation process is to provide clients with a safe environment and a sense of purpose. Respect provided me and continues to provide me a safe environment where I can voice my concerns, without recrimination. Once these concerns were aired, positive solutions were worked through to transform a negative situation into one conducive to personal growth and a positive resolution.”
