What Jane Goodall's clients say
"It was amazing!! Everyone had the best time - she was funny, the message was perfect...just awesome."
"Everyone is still talking about how extraordinary it was to hear you and how much your work has changed our perceptions of our relationship to other beings. That you have lived your life so decidedly on your own terms - and in the process have given us so much new knowledge and understanding of our world - has been a wonderful inspiration. Your visit was a highlight of the year for all of us here."
"Your life certainly exemplifies many of the values we encourage here at Strong: striving to achieve goals, then reaching higher for the next ones; persistently pursuing the answers to your questions; and importantly, doing work you love. Our associates have been telling us in the past week and a half how much it meant to have you here, and how your stories touched them. You are a woman of great conviction, which comes across clearly, even with your soft."
"The over-the-top capacity audience was an indication of your stature in the field of primatology and as you can tell, our community was looking forward to your presentation. Your anecdotes about your experiences and insights into your work at Gombe, as well as your own childhood were most memorable, and many people have told me how excited and inspired they were from your lecture."
"World-renowned scientist Jane Goodall, Ph.D., DBE, spoke last night at the Freede Center as a part of the Distinguished Speakers Series. We estimate that we had 4000 people in attendance for her lecture, each of whom no doubt left feeling more inspired than when they came! Dr. Goodall signed books until 12:50 a.m., which is the longest book signing in our history and within 30 minutes of the longest in hers!"
"She was absolutely fantastic! I can't say enough about her. Our audience loved her and would absolutely recommend her to another group. She even brought me to tears!"
"It was a treat to work with Jane Goodall and her associates. All the members of her team were friendly and professional, and were immensely helpful in setting up the book selling and signing space. Jane Goodall herself was a delight. She is an undemanding celebrity, who cheerfully gave greatly of herself during her time at Hanover College. Dr. Goodall drew an audience of some 2,500 people to the College, the largest convocation audience here in decades. Her talk was insightful and inspiring. After a Q&A period, Dr. Goodall spent three hours signing books. She will not leave until everyone who wants a book signed or a photo has been satisfied. Dr. Goodall’s visit truly was an EVENT – something that will be remembered here for years."
