Book Justine To Speak

"Justine is an inspirational and charismatic speaker."

We were fortunate enough to have Justine Fedak speak at an event for the participants of our EPIC longitudinal study at UCSF. In previous years this event, which is meant to inform our research participants about our progress in Multiple Sclerosis, has been a 2 hour session with updates from various disciplines and with all of the speakers being our scientists from UCSF. Justine’s talk was strategically placed at a little over half way through the program. Justine is an inspirational and charismatic speaker. Her talk was the highlight of our program and we received rave reviews from our participants, who felt uplifted by her presence and words. Justine is personable, professional, and powerful and her impact as a keynote speaker made our event a huge success and we would recommend her for any conference looking to inspire their participants.

". . .she was able to create a presentation that resulted in a standing ovation from our group. I would hire Justine again!"

Every year, we hold an all-women event for women in the mortgage industry. Justine was hired to be the "wrap-up" speaker for our entire event and she knocked it out of the park. Based on our event theme, she was able to create a presentation that resulted in a standing ovation from our group. I would hire Justine again!

"She didn’t meet our expectations, she WELL exceeded them!"

Justine was so gracious in her willingness to present to both our women executives alone, followed by a session for our entire audience. The feedback we received on those sessions could not have been better. Glowing responses from our entire group asking when they’ll have the opportunity to meet her again and when her book will be available for purchase. She didn’t meet our expectations, she well exceeded them! In fact, we’ve already reached out to her about coming to at least two events we have coming up next year and can’t wait to have her join us!

Within minutes, Justine has our audience captivated by her incredible story. She was authentic and relatable in a way that had everyone fully engaged during her talk. It's been several weeks since the conference, and people are still talking about how they were inspired by her. The biggest benefit of having Justine as our keynote speaker is that it set an open and productive tone for the rest of our event. It’s been several weeks since the conference, but people are still talking about how they were inspired by her.

"Her positive mindset, courage and story has stuck with me for years . . ."

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Justine speak on multiple occasions. Her ability to connect with her audience and storytell is simply exemplary. Justine’s background in leadership, financial services, sports partnerships and overcoming personal adversity were extremely powerful. Her positive mindset, courage and story has stuck with me for years and has played a pivotal role in how I approach my work and peers. I’ve seen 100s of speakers during my tenure with student leadership, conferences and competition styles events and can safely say that she is hands down one of the best ones I’ve ever seen.
