Speaking

“Jeannette’s compassion and humor shine through when she is speaking and her passion for kindness and its ability to heal the world is authentic. It was so exciting to watch our staff engage with her and with the message. I can’t thank Jeannette enough for bringing her incredible story and work to us.”

Wendell Hicks

Executive Director
Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation

“I asked Jeannette Maré to give the opening plenary speech at our Western Group on Educational Affairs (WGEA) conference hosted by the University of Arizona College of Medicine Tucson campus.  The result was an outstanding and heartfelt presentation that amazed the audience of over 200 medical educators. I would recommend Jeannette to speak at any group function where an infusion of kindness is merited.”

“I’ve been in public service for over 25 years and can honestly say that I have never seen a room of firefighters as laser-focused and engaged as during Jeannette’s presentation. We’re optimistic that our communication internally and externally will continue to become deeper and richer and that we’ll continue improving our culture of kindness. We couldn’t have started without Jeannette.”

Mark Savage, JD, EFO

Fire Chief

“Jeannette’s message is important for all people regardless of age, profession, or economic status. You will be doing your organization a HUGE favor by hosting her to speak. I asked her to speak at a tech conference and she nailed it. I would go so far to say that her message should be mandatory for all.”

“Jeannette’s engaging presentation brought excitement to our teachers and K- 5 students – our students think she’s a superstar! The all-school assembly helped them understand the power of Kindness and that sometimes it takes practice and courage. We are proud to be part of the Ben’s Bells family and proud to be Courageous Kind Coyotes.”

Chris Guittierez

“Last night when I tucked my daughter into bed, I asked her what she thought of the Ben’s Bells assembly she attended. She answered, “She inspired me.” As a parent and educator, I believe inspiration is one of the greatest gifts we can give to another person. Inspiration is the seed of hope. Thank you for inspiring so many of us!”
