I wish to express my gratitude for all the assistance, information, and encouragement you offered me when I decided to write my book: Fantastik Shadows: An Unforgettable Journey. I feel so blessed to have had you as my production coordinator. I am convinced that the success of my book was due in part to the splendid job arranging my thoughts and ideas. As a result, many worthy readers have the advantage of reading a quality book.
Thank you for your continued assistance!

Jan Roelofs has a wonderful ability to help me show up for my audience when I speak. Jan's work is not only about helping you be effective - it's about helping you be confident and engaging. She honors the individuality in each of us. She helps me surprise myself.

When I asked Jan Roelofs to observe one of my presentations and help me improve, I didn't expect to "enjoy" the process! After all, who wants to hear what they did wrong? But what I heard--and felt--from Jan was so positive, so insightful, useful and graceful that I wanted the critique to continue. I'm still not quite sure how she does it, but it works, and I got rave reviews for my next speech. My advice is to work with Jan immediately. She is a master coach.

I must thank you for the fantastic presentation training! Over the years my position has required me to do a lot of presentations and I feel as though your training provided me with the essential information to advance my communication skills. For the fist time I feel as though I received the "meat and potatoes" information that I was able to implement immediately.
The one-on-one training helped direct my energy and knowledge to improve my ability to communicate with others on a personal level and for large group presentations. I was very impressed with the concepts you shared with me. The training sessions were very enjoyable and will help me communicate more effectively plus allow me to actually enjoy speaking to a variety of groups.
Again, Jan, it was a pleasure receiving training from you. I look forward to one of your upcoming seminars. You truly have the ability to bring out the best in everyone!

Your seminar was great! I wanted to share with you what several of the participants thought about your presentation. In their words, "The Jan Roelofs seminar is the best thing PWN has ever done." It's clear to me that because of you, the PWN Professional Enrichment Training seminars are a hit.

I wanted to pass along this note to tell you how much I enjoyed working with you over the past three weeks. Your program "Presenting Yourself with Confidence" was both fun and educational. I feel like I now have a solid base to work with when preparing to give a business presentation. Especially helpful were the video taping sessions, where I was able to see what things I was doing right and what areas I needed to work on. It is one thing to received constructive criticism from your peers, but it is an entirely different ball game to actually see yourself in a speaking situation.

Thank you for the terrific presentation at Hamilton Business College. I have been through several workshops on customer service, motivation and the like but none were as enlightening as yours. Often in corporate in-services the speaker seems phony or aloof. You, on the other hand, were honest and approachable. I hope others in the community get an opportunity to attend one of your seminars. Anyone would benefit from your advice.

You are an awesome communicator and really shed a light on making contact with people. After the meeting, I thought about how I make contact with others in my personal and professional arenas of life. Do I listen to people and hear them? Do they leave me feeling good about themselves? Am I making someone else's life better each day? These are thoughts that are always in my head since I had the opportunity to learn from you! We definitely will ask you to come back to our meetings. Thank you for shining your star on our day.

Thank you very much for presenting at the ICAA Fall Conference! I really appreciate how you help others build confidence by using a "show-tell-do" method. Your seminar participants praised your technique and your own personal development models the kind of progress (and effort) we want for our customers.

I've always wanted to do more public speaking but was too afraid. With Jan's help, I have now given several presentations, most recently in front of a group of hundreds of people.

Taking your class was the best motivator and confidence builder I have ever experienced. You relate so well to people and impart enthusiasm for what you are teaching that we learn from you without knowing it, and develop self confidence in the process. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your talents with me!
