“GlaxoSmithKline invited Jennifer to speak to its administrative professionals at its annual Administrative Professionals Day Breakfast. A very diverse age group was present. Some who are still raising their younger families and others who now have the challenge of taking care of their elderly parents or ailing spouses. It can be physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting being a caregiver. Jennifer’s talk on ‘Taking Care of Yourself While Taking Care of Others’ was such an informative and inspiring one that was very well received by all in attendance.

Jennifer was sincere and spoke from her heart in sharing some of her own personal experiences. She touched everyone in the room. We all tend to lead such busy lives, especially those of us trying to be successful in our careers while supporting others and juggling our personal lives. By the end of her talk, Jennifer had a long line of our associates anxiously wanting to thank her personally and share their own personal stories with her. Jennifer took time to thoughtfully listen and respond to each question and offer some of her expert advice. But most importantly, while sharing a wealth of information with all of us, Jennifer explained how essential it is to take time to care for yourself. It was a successful event, and the company received many thankful notes for bringing Jennifer to GSK.”

"Jennifer describes at length the condition of the mind, body, and spirit of those who accept the challenge of care giving. Jennifer gives her audience permission to feel tired, and at times frustrated. Her presentation offers easy, real-time solutions, nothing that is complicated. Jennifer's books and products offer a resource for relieving adverse situations and enable the caregiver a brief diversion. Jennifer gave the Pittsburgh chapter of the International Association of Administrative Professional's seminar attendees a look into the future with the promise of more control in their lives, and materials that describe coping methods that may be used to ease the burden of caring. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Jennifer Antkowiak as a first class speaker."

"Jennifer’s perspectives resonated with occupational therapy values about lifestyle and balance. She provoked us to reflect on the choices we make about things we do everyday and consider how those influence our health and well-being, and ultimately, our capacity as occupational therapy educators, students and practitioners. She easily connects with her audience as she shares her personal stories and insights, making every participant feel like they are having a 1 on 1 conversation with her!"
--Mary Muhlenhaupt, President, Pennsylvania Occupational Therapy Association
“Jennifer’s workshop ranked the highest among the five that were part of our conference. Attendees appreciated her honesty, humor and friendliness. She is someone to whom people can relate, not only because of her warmth and genuineness as a person, but also because she speaks from experience about the blessings and burdens of caregiving. I highly recommend Jennifer as a presenter!”

“We have been receiving an overwhelming amount of positive feedback…and they are asking us to invite you back again next year! Please know that you have encouraged, comforted, reassured, and motivated many…”

“As part of wellness initiatives, Jennifer spoke at a PPG Lunch ’n Learn with employees to talk about her personal experiences. She quickly made a connection as people realized she wasn’t just a media personality but rather a mother, daughter, wife, and friend who experiences the same stresses many of us do in just trying to keep ourselves healthy while trying to “be there” for everyone else in our lives. Her tips and inputs helped the attendees realize it’s not just OK to make time for yourselves, it’s absolutely necessary."

“As hosts of the Pennsylvania Organization of Mothers of Multiples Clubs State Convention, we were very pleased to have Jennifer Antkowiak as the keynote speaker. This busy mother of five not only told us how to take time out for ourselves, but also showed us. She got 300 mothers of twins, triplets, or more up on our feet to stretch, exercise in place, and have fun. Her ideas on dieting, relaxation, and pain relief were simple and practical. In under an hour, we laughed, relaxed, and were refreshed; ready to once again tackle the job of being caregivers of ourselves and our families. Jennifer’s helpful tips, sense of humor, and down to earth approach make this an enjoyable time for all moms, whether working or stay-at-home.”
