Testimonials for Genevieve Jacobs
Genevieve is a highly capable conference facilitator – erudite, engaging and entertaining. Her depth of journalistic experience also means she can condense a vast amount of information and discussion from the presentations to a concise ‘end of the day’ summary for delegates and is agile in driving Q&A sessions with speakers to delve deeply into the topics.

“I have known Genevieve Jacobs for some ten years. She has been a great help to Manning Clark House as a chair of discussions and events, dealing with very distinguished speakers and a sometimes bolshie audience. She always manages this with great aplomb and with the greatest good humour. Genevieve is an ornament that must continue to shine in the area of communication and beyond.”

She has capacity to master complex matters rapidly and to distil the essence of any issue with clarity and precision. From a mass of fact, opinion, creativity and reality, Genevieve draws people together and leads them in the search for practical outcomes.
