"A few colleagues and I had the distinct pleasure of going through a managerial workshop with Jennifer. My first impressions of Jennifer were that she was quite personable, knowledgeable and most of all very passionate about her work. This notion was fortified as we went through her lesson plans. Unlike most training courses we were subjected to in the past, Jennifer's methods were very eye opening as well as quite enjoyable. The interaction and energy she brought about within the group really aided us in assessing our strengths and weaknesses. Its always a great compliment when experienced colleagues, such as mine, regard Jennifer's training class as the best they've ever been through. I am sure she will bring great value to any organization that chooses to employ her talents."

Thank you Jennifer! The curriculum development and consulting work you did was wonderful. We appreciate you coming through on such a tight time table and with such excellent work. I have to also say that your follow-up with participants is beyond anything I have experienced to date. Your work with our employees on site after the learning sessions was tremendously appreciated, but your willingness to be in touch even after is above and beyond and I thank you for that!

"...I wanted to again express my personal thanks
to you for providing an enriching, motivating and inspiring
learning
event for State of Missouri managers and supervisors.
Your ability to capture the interest of such a large
group of executives and hold their attention was incredible.
Your “down-to-earth” easy-going approach
with people served to quickly put each of our folks at
ease and prompted their continued participation and interest
throughout the morning.
Perhaps some of the following participant responses say
it best:
“
Jennifer’s use of stories, quotes and examples
to help participants apply the information was excellent”
“
Jennifer’s personal stories had a positive impact
on the whole program.”
“ Jennifer was dynamic!”
“ The program should have been longer. Jennifer was excellent!”
“ Bring Jennifer back!”
As you know, this was our first seminar of this nature
in several years – and the pressure was on. Your
work yesterday paved the way for similar programs in
the future, and demonstrated the importance of continuous
personal and professional development..."

"Jennifer Yazell is an amazing resource for
team building among groups. I witnessed this personally
at our staff's first ever team building experience
in March of 2006. Jennifer is very good at helping
people feel relaxed as they learn about the importance
of team dynamics. Jennifer helped us learn more about
what makes people tick and how to interact with others
effectively. We laughed, we shared, and we discussed
important staff issues. The difference was like night
and day for our group. You could feel the office
atmosphere imporve ten fold from the day before.
Jennifer is an amazing human resource coach. I highly
recommmend her!"

"Jennifer
is undoubtedly one of the most professional, competent,
reliable facilitators I have worked with in my 10+
years of corporate contract training. This is further
evidenced by the verbal feedback and written evaluations
of her training participants. She excels in all she
does and is a pure joy to partner with. I have seen
her facilitate pre-training needs assessments, develop
customized curriculum, and assist in determining
ROI. If you are looking for a facilitator who can truly
interpret the needs of her training participants
and
help them develop skills to resolve problems and
be productive employees, hire Jennifer Yazell. She
is
the kind of trainer and consultant that organizations
form long-term partnerships with."

closing keynote address at our 2005 conference was
wonderful! She included the perfect mixture of humor,

Following the address, they strongly affirmed that
Jennifer had provided exactly what they wanted. Thank
you!"

was the project manager for a challenging process improvement
project that affected a major part of our business.
Jennifer and her consulting partner worked with
our management group for over 6 months to pinpoint
the breakdowns
in the current process and completely re-designed
a better process.
In the end, she delivered a comprehensive
recommendation report, along with new process maps,
which we have used to make major changes to improve

"I have been the Long Range Planning
Committee Chairman for the Ozark Chapel Methodist
Church in Laurie, Missouri for the past 6 years.
During that time we had been attempting to address
the strategic issues of our church. We had struggled
with identifying these issues and finally 2 years
ago called in Jennifer Yazell of Golden Egg Communications
to help us with the process.
With Jennifer's direction and leadership,
we were able to complete a Mission Statement,
identify our Core Values and
structure a 5 year plan that
has enabled our church to clarify our goals,
growth and vision for the future. Since our experience
with Jennifer, we have begun the process which
will lead to growth in our church. I highly recommend
Jennifer as a facilitator who can help the leadeship
in a church to complete the process of strategic
planning."

"Jennifer Yazell came to our church as a facilitator
for our Long Range Planning Team.
Her ability to help our group stay focused and
on track
was immeasurable. Jennifer taught us to
think in terms of "what if" and "what
could be", using
our dreams and ideas, in our unique situation.
Jennifer
was the catalyst for our being able to
create a 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year plan for our
organization that we are currently following. I
don't believe we would be where we are without
her."

"My name is Becky Breit and I served as
Team Leader for a group of trainers and consultants
at the Business & Technology College in Kansas
City,
MO for eight years. During that time, Jennifer
Yazell and I worked on a large project to assist
an educational institution improve their efficiency
and compliance with regards to how they administered
financial aid funds to students. It was a complex
project and involved dealing with some very difficult
people. Not only were we tasked with helping them
improve their processes, but we also evaluated
the institution's use of PeopleSoft in financial
aid. Jennifer served as the project manager and
did an excellent job. She facilitated the focus
groups, coordinated data collection and we worked
together to analyze the data and write a recommmendation
report for improvements. The project was completed
on-time and under budget. The client was very happy.
Jennifer is a gem to work with and I'd partner
with her any day!"

"The work you accomplished with our group yesterday provided me with a lot of relief. This strategic planning project is so important to the future of our organization.

I'm thankful you are genuinely committed to assisting us in our pursuits. "
