I have known Jo Umberger for 14 years. I have been associated with her in many spiritual and church as well as business contexts. She has been a speaker at many of my workshops, classes, retreats, and conferences. I have shared the stage with her at many events. I feel I have a very good estimation of her skills and abilities.

“Jo is an outstanding speaker. She is articulate, she is bright, and she takes the time and makes the effort to be on target with her audiences. She delivers extremely well. She is both funny and serious. She never bores.”

“Jo is an outstanding trainer. She is results-driven, she understands adult learning, she is facilitative and interactive, and she’s motivational. She is also practical and experiential in her approaches.

“I highly recommend Jo as a speaker or teacher at any event. As the leader of a church, I know how particular one must be in who to use to deliver crucial messages to important audiences. For this reason, I take my recommendation most seriously.
Thanks for the 'Conflict Resolution' workshop that you and Don facilitated. I was especially appreciative of your flexibility in making the workshop relevant to the participants.
