  • I’ve had the opportunity to work with Leah Jewell as a featured executive speaker multiple times. Her knowledge of the constantly changing talent landscape and the greater employability ecosystem is matched only by her ability to artfully craft her message to meet the needs of her audience. Each time Leah has presented to our audience of industry leaders the data and insights she shared proved to be timely, valuable, and actionable. The quality of Leah as a speaker is reflected in the feedback from our participants who consistently consider her ‘Excellent’. In our previous two events Leah was one of the three highest rated speakers. In a highly competitive and demanding industry where only the best will do, Leah has been great to work with. Her collaborative nature and attention to detail ensured that we were fully aligned on all aspects of her presentation weeks before our events were held. I look forward to working with Leah again as a speaker and can recommend her without hesitation.

  • I worked with Leah for over 6 years. Her deep and wide knowledge on topics like the Future of work, Disruption in Higher ed & Lifelong Learning/upskilling is as amazing as her innate ability to convey the many facets of these complex topics as a compelling and engaging speaker. In my experience as a colleague, she got rave reviews from audiences across the board – including Governors, business leaders, academia and policymakers. She’s a terrific colleague, connects with and inspires early-stage career staff, and her enthusiasm & dedication are motivating for all.

Her presentation the Future of Learning and Work was spot on for this audience. Leah's energetic and passionate delivery was very well received and had the audience engaged throughout the whole presentation. I highly recommend Leah for your next presentation!

  • Leah spoke at Generation W, a national thought leadership event in Jacksonville, FL and we were blown away by her! Leah's extensive knowledge, the ease of presenting complex topics in a way that is approachable and easy to connect with, and a way to make it interactive was a home run for all attendees. There are not enough words to describe how wonderful of a speaker and human she is and how she impacted everyone who attended. Thank you Leah!

  • We contacted Leah to speak at two of our events, geared towards higher ed study abroad educators, to share how they can better prepare their students for the future of work and how they can modify their current practices to meet the needs of future employers. She was incredibly responsive, easy to work with, and able to pivot as needed to our audience. At both of our events, participants rated Leah's session a 5 out of 5, and her talk really got the gears turning for our audience. She's an incredibly engaging speaker on the stage, and moderates Q&A very effectively. Collaborating with Leah was easy and enjoyable, and I would highly recommend her for future events related to the future of work.
