A truly inspirational speaker who can deliver serious information in an intelligent and engaging way. Her anecdotes and role playing were of great assistance (and very funny) in getting the content we discussed across to our audience. Getting 400 Policewomen to give you a standing ovation is not an easy feat – well done! Jackie stayed for lunch chatting to many attendees and answering many questions. From the moment we engaged Jackie, we found her to be accessible, diligent and friendly.
NSW PoliceOne of the best presentations I have seen. And 700 people in the auditorium agreed with me! Jackie delivered an amazing presentation on how we can all be our best selves more easily and joyfully. You deserved the standing ovation.
SBMAQJackie Furey certainly knows how to present a very engaging and very funny workshop. She covered all aspects of mental health and wellbeing in the work-place as set out in the brief. Our participants were thrilled with her knowledge and insights in to their area of work and are now better equipped to handle situations they once found challenging….
NSW HealthBrilliant. Had the room sitting on their edge of their seats. Jackie’s ability to be incredibly funny while delivering a standout professional presentation was wonderful to be part of. The standing ovation she received from over 300 women was electrifying….

Thank you for recommending Jackie Furey as someone who would be a joy to work with and she was. As someone who would be able to connect and inspire an audience from diverse backgrounds. She did. When you said she was bright, caring and competent across many aspects of relationship management, mental wellness and personal and professional relationships you were correct. We will be asking Jackie to come back – her presentation was the most talked about topic at the awards night.
