SPEAKING & INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS
"Jennifer is an engaging, effective speaker who brings a refreshing, restorative message in her
“Bringing Balance to Your Life” seminar. Her thought provoking exercise using her “Wheel of
Life” exhibit produced a lively discussion and sharing of ideas among an audience varying in age
and life experience. Jennifer’s encouragement toward making honest, mindful assessments on how
time and passion were allocated to these specific areas was invaluable in beginning the process of
setting realistic goals for an enduring, fulfilled life."
Robyn, Bringing Balance to Your Life Attendee
"Attending a Wired and Inspired event was a wonderful opportunity to meet other women and
take time out to reflect on my personal journey. Jennifer's talk was not only inspiring, it provided
simple exercises to evaluate and set achievable goals."
Jamie, Wired & Inspired Attendee
"I didn't realize what a pre-"earthshaking" moment I would have from attending the Wired and
Inspired seminar! WOW!!! Jennifer's talk left me very inspired and more committed to seeking out
my authentic self! I really enjoyed the evening in the company of other women all ages with
different perspectives on the subject."
Bridget, Wired & Inspired Attendee
"I had the fortunate opportunity to attend some of Jennifer's speaking events and found her
absolutely captivating and incredibly insightful. She has a unique, interactive and fun way of
allowing you to put things into perspective. She makes you understand that you need to take time
for yourself, love yourself and really think about what you want from life and how to go about
achieving your goals. I 100% recommend her to anyone and hope that more people take
advantage of her remarkable services because she is truly gifted."
Ashli, Marketing Manager & Embrace Your Brilliance Attendee
"Jennifer's Wired and Inspired talk left me wanting to begin trying to discover a more authentic
version of myself. The welcoming, relaxed atmosphere allowed me to connect with others present
and made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. This talk made me feel like I was not just an
attendee, but an active participant in the evening's conversation."
Melody, Non Profit Professional & Wired & Inspired Attendee
“Thank you for such an engaging program with the YPO Administrators. I have received such
complimentary reviews! I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with you—you have a great
message!
Tamara, YPO Director and Tamco Productions, LLC
"During my tenure as president of the Junior League of Louisville, I had a number of
opportunities to work with Jennifer. The feedback that I received from the sessions was always
positive and well received. Jennifer is an excellent speaker who brings a wealth of experience,
depth and understanding to any group she is working with."
Christi, Past President of the Junior League of Louisville
" ... I have had feedback from many women who said how much they enjoyed your program and
how it really made them think about balance and fun in their lives! You are such a wonderful,
delightful speaker and such an inspiration to women that we feel so fortunate to have you speak to
our group. Thanks again for your time, your energy, and your enthusiasm!"
Susan, Workshop Coordinator and Participant
"Jennifer's ability to effectively analyze situations, to offer reasonable and doable solutions to
problems, and to cut to the heart of complex matters with ease and sensitivity make her a valuable
resource both personally and professionally. I can always count on her for helpful advice."
Elizabeth, Co-worker and community volunteer
"I have heard Jennifer speak on many occasions over the past year and she has yet to loose my
interest. She is engaging, energetic, knowledgeable and fun. You feel like you are listening to a
friend talk, not just another speaker on something you have heard before or were made to sit
through. She really has a talent for appealing to the audience in her talks. She has the ability to get
you to think about what she is saying and make you feel comfortable about any subject by the
genuine tone in her voice. Every time I leave one of her speeches I feel I can truly and
successfully conquer the world around me, have fun and be true to myself."

EXCAVIVE CLIENT SUCCESSES
"I am transformed from making one big leap of faith by finding enough courage to ask myself if
EVEN I could have a life coach. By using Jennifer's Wheel of Life I was able to see where I started
and how far I have come. It is so NEAT to finally truly understand what makes me most fulfilled
and where my drive comes from and the permission to tap into it on a daily basis. I went from the
thought of 'I am not enough' to 'I am a well of abundance.' I believe we all have innate life purposes
and I have found my purposes. I have given myself permission to live them out, cleared out the
clutter, including people and things, that did not support me and life is better. I wish I could give
the gift of Jennifer's coaching to everyone I love. The abundance I co-create with Jennifer means
nothing that I really want is out of the question. I have learned that I get to decide. And that is a
wonderful place to be in life."
Amy, Corporate Flight Attendant
"When I sought Jennifer's guidance, I actually felt content with my life, but wanted to explore the
"something more" feeling always tugging at me. I knew there was some greater purpose or beauty I
was meant to pursue and live out as a woman. By consistently turning to my excavated values (one
of the most powerful exercises I've ever experienced), I see that I am at the helm of a journey
where I can "make it up" (a "Jennifer Blair-ism"). I am uncovering the writer- rocker- mama-
impacting -laughing woman who has always been there and creating a life to honor all of those parts
of me. It has not only given me a great sense of energy and empowerment, but overflows into
other areas of life where my family and friends are positively impacted, as well. As a coach,
Jennifer masterfully guides and questions so that I get to the heart of what is needed each session."
Laura, Writer & Adoption Counselor
"Jennifer is an insightful life coach. She asked probing questions which helped me to identify what
was important to me. Through her values discovery process I was able to determine what drives
me and to clarify my goals. My goals now align with my values and strengths and I am able to
follow through on them."
Mary Beth, Life Coach
"As a self-reliant problem solver, I was hesitant to use Jennifer because I thought Life Coaching
was so 'frou-frou.' However, she has made me focus on what I want in my life to look like and her
services are indispensable to my business and my future."
Holly, Attorney
"The skills I learned while working with Jennifer are invaluable, especially staying true to my
strengths and values in order to live life as my truly authentic self."
Heather - Executive Recruiter
"Before I began working with Jennifer, I was a non-practicing artist. Not only had I given up
painting watercolors and illustrating, I wasn't even working in my visual journal or doodling. I was
frustrated and unsure if art was the path for me. Not even a month after seeing Jennifer, I
completed my unfinished painting. And, I haven't stopped creating ever since. Jennifer has helped
me refocus my art career, but to fine-tune others areas of my life! I whole-heartedly recommend
her! Jennifer truly wants you to be your best self!
Tina, artist & illustrator
"Jennifer's brilliant process of unearthing my core values has built the foundation for success and
abundance in my life. She is a powerful coach and leader who creates a natural and passionate
connection with her clients."
James, Artist & Life Coach
"I first met Jennifer when I was thinking about getting a divorce. This was the lowest point in my
life. I felt confused, angry, hurt, trapped and I also felt like a failure. I was very nervous and
scared about making the wrong decision because of the tremendous responsibility that I felt
towards everyone. Jennifer managed to ask just the right questions and through answering those
questions I was able to determine my own special set of values. It was very empowering to actually
see my values in writing and to use those as a gauge when making decisions. She gave me the
courage to stand up for myself and to realize that I am indeed the "princess" of my world and I
and I alone am in control of my future. She also managed to instill in me the knowledge that I
have choices even when I didn't think I did and to objectively evaluate those choices and to make
decisions using my values. It is amazing the sense of power that overtakes you when you realize
that yes you do have a choice. Jennifer is an amazing, funny, and very intuitive person. If you can
remember the iceberg theory - 5% is seen, 95% is unseen - somehow, Jennifer manages to see that
95% that we've managed to bury so deep inside ourselves that sometimes we can't even see it
anymore."
Darlene, CPA
"I originally sought Jennifer’s guidance to make some difficult choices about my career. But in the
process, Jennifer helped me truly discover myself and the things that are most important to me in
life. She is so genuine, supportive, and makes it easy and safe to dig into those deepest parts of
yourself. The Excavive coaching experience has been so empowering and has affected all areas of
my life
positively!"
Kristie, Marketing Manager
"I was at a point in my life where I needed clarity to make good decisions for my working future.
Working with Jennifer gave me that clarity and greater self awareness I needed to feel confident. I
would recommend this experience to anyone who needs assistance in creating a better life for
themselves." Meredith, non profit professional & business consultant
"Jennifer Blair is lively, sensitive and insightful. She asks the right questions and provides
suggestions that are consistently thoughtful, helpful and reflective of the best in contemporary life
coaching. She is an effective model for wit, style and resiliency."
Anita, Ph.D., university professor
"Jennifer has supported me toward claiming my divine feminine authentic power. She has helped
me raise my consciousness in a non-judgmental and loving way with clarity, intention, and the gift of
digging beneath my words and asking questions that uncover my inner truths. I now walk this
path of speaking my truths, living in creation and beauty, living with inner power and authority, and
stay in my knowing of what it is to be able to love yourself. Powerful! It has been a gift to my
soul to find and reconnect to my sacred and to honor it. I use my values at every major decision
point for my personal and professional self, and as a simple reminder of who I really am. I have
been in coaching with Jennifer since 2004, and I know anything is possible once I discovered the
meaning of 'me' with Jennifer's help and coaching."
Susan, Group Chief Designer - Automotive Design, Creative Artist, Healer, Compassionate Animal Lover and
Divine Feminine Soul
"Underwired magazine was designed to support women in their pursuit of meaningful work,
creative passion and other spirited adventures. The magazine was launched in September 2006 and
by November 2006, I found myself stuck in a place of fear, doubting my ability to make a go of it.
Someone suggested that I meet with Jennifer. I'll be honest - my first reaction was a polite, "No
thank you." I envisioned someone standing on a stage shouting positivity that I was sure would
result in my buying real estate. I'm not sure what shifted and brought her to me, but what I found
was something quite different than what I imagined. Conversations were comfortable, confidential
and eye opening. Jennifer is able to guide you to your own answers within. Sometimes it is not
enough to know the answer or the way to proceed. You still have to take action around it in order
for things to change. With Jennifer, I knew I had someone to hold me accountable and to push me
forward. The entrepreneurial road is still full of ups and downs but after working with Jennifer, I
no longer approach it from the mindset that I can't do it."
Laura, Magazine Publisher
"I contacted Jennifer after searching for a change in career on my own for over 10 years, with no
success. I felt worthless as an employee and at a loss for where to turn next. After my initial
session with Jennifer I was able to acknowledge to myself that there were many changes, both
personally and professionally that I needed to work on in order to move forward. She helped to
create an excitement in me that had been lost for years. Jennifer's gentle and uplifting personality
helped me to make self empowered choices toward a career change. She has the gift of being able
to help you find your strengths and values and then, the assertion to help you follow through with
your goals for ultimate personal success. Both my personal life and my business life have improved
100%."
