Testimonials

Every business is unique in the way that they need to be guided. The kind of help that a venture needs, whether specific or perceived, is often vastly different from one entity to another, whether the entity is a singular entrepreneur, a small company trying to make it in the big pond, or a corporation. The differences as well as the challenges that the differences create, are all things an ally , compatriot, or guide needs to know how to embrace and with which such a person has to learn to work. Last year, knowing I had no experience marketing a book, much less selling not a thing but a concept, I reached out to Jenn T. Grace. For the last nine months, Jenn has provided me sage advice, direction better than a compass, and a rudder in a very large sea. Jenn has even offered the ears and heart of a counselor, and, when I needed it, a friend to share my trials and tribulations. Jenn is professional and dedicated to the needs of her clients. She is creative in the way that she networks… Read more

Ann Townsend, Author of LGBTQ: Outing My Christianity

Jenn T. Grace provided an expert talk on working with the LGBT community in a way that profoundly impacted each attendee in the audience. Personally, I was inspired by Jenn’s eloquence, knowledge and generosity of spirit in providing LGBT Allies with usable information. I bought copies of her book which are now resources for me as I join the NGLCC, a recommendation I acted on immediately.

Jenn is a powerful and effective presenter that challenges and inspires her listeners. The 2014 Mid-America GLCC Business Equality Conference featured Jenn as one of several presenters and post-conference surveys had only great things about Jenn’s workshop and how useful the information she shared would be to them in the future.

I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your presentation at Salem State’s “Toast” to the seniors in May. I liked your presentation so much because it was interesting, eye-opening, and funny. Thanks for your inspirational and positive words. I left feeling #LikeAGirl (my favorite campaign ever)!

Brittany, Graduate at Salem State University

We absolutely loved having Jenn speak to the leadership team of the Yale LGBTQ Affinity Group, and she was a phenomenal resource of information. She asked the right questions that not only engaged the leadership team, but she also drew out our reasons for being involved, which helped to create a stronger leadership team. Jenn’s presentation was the perfect addition to our leadership retreat and made the event a true success!

Over the years, I have accumulated many friends and co-workers whom are members of the LGBT Community, but I have never marketed directly to them. I sought Jenn’s consultation advice after reading her book, “But You Don’t Look Gay…” What a fantastic book!!! Easy to read, honest, funny, and more educational than I expected. In creating a marketing piece aimed to reach the LGBT Community, Jenn helped me critique my own efforts to create the EXACT message I was seeking. The final piece turned out perfect!!

Your presentation was amazing! You are a gifted storyteller– funny, sharp and bright– and the whole audience was with you throughout your program. We really appreciated having you here, and hearing your engaging, perceptive talk. Since the presentation, I’ve been mulling over jokes, stereotypes and things I’ve not been aware of before. As a straight ally, a mother and sister-in-law to queer/ gay people whom I love dearly, there is always plenty more to learn.

Brownstein Jewish Family Service DirectorJewish Federation of Western Connecticut

Jenn’s presentation and keen marketing tips on how to appeal to LGBT consumers were very well-received at our 11^th New Mainstream Business Summit. Jenn used powerful examples and relevant statistics to engage attendees, challenge stereotypes, and explore common misconceptions frequently encountered by this diverse demographic.

César M. Melgoza, CEO and Founder of Geoscape

I was pleased a few years ago when a mutual acquaintance referred Jenn to me, as she brought real value to the diversity of my show’s outstanding guest list. Jenn has the unique ability to communicate in clear, easy to understand terms, the challenges the LGBT community faces. She explains, in very pragmatic terms, the value of the LGBT community in the workplace and the potential of striking a mutually beneficial relationship with the LGBT community. Jenn is an advocate without being a zealot, a relationship builder without being confrontational. She communicates her cause in a way that is mutually beneficial without being adversarial and she helps you appreciate the LGBT community’s value, without coming across like what she’s offering is a hard sell. I can’t wait to have Jenn back on my show!

Show HostThe Hour with Jim PellegrinoConnecticut

I enjoyed working with and learning from Jenn; she makes it a point to share her overall vision and then encourage a balanced, fun, and positive environment. As a creative marketing department head and an excellent project manager, she uses her broad skill set to manage project timelines and processes. I understood my expectations for the client, but also had room to brainstorm new ideas. I hope to work with her again in the future.
