“Engaging and authentic are the words that come to mind when I think about Jessica Joelle Alexander as a public speaker. I had the pleasure of working with Jessica on a talk and Q&A for the promotion of her book, The Danish Way of Parenting. Not only was I impressed by Jessica’s ability to connect with the audience through her storytelling, but also inspiring them to adopt principles in her book. As an added bonus Jessica is skilled in promotion through social media and worked in unison with our team to promote the event which helped make for a well-attended event on a Monday night in the dog days of summer– which isn’t easy. Any group would be lucky to work with Jessica as a lecturer/speaker.“

"I had the chance to work with Jessica during the preparation of an internal event @Google where she participated as guest speaker. Not only I appreciate her as a reader of her best-selling book, but also as a highly professional, passionate and charismatic speaker. Her authenticity is truly charming. Should this not be enough, she has a joyful heart of gold"

“In November 2020 Jessica delivered her ‘Parenting In a Pandemic; How to be a Happier Parent’ workshop to a large group of Irish screen industry professionals. While the workshop concentrated on the challenges faced by parents working from home, Jessica’s approach offers a toolkit that can be applied to parenting at any time. Jessica was fantastic to deal with, and went above and beyond in terms of her research into the specific challenges faced by parents in the screen industry. I would highly recommend her workshop, and in fact, it’s one we already plan on offering to the industry again this year.“
