"Jennifer Swanson presented a workshop entitled, 'Organize Your Home, Simplify Your Life' at the 24th annual A Day Set Apart for Women Conference. It was one of the more popular workshops offered, with over 800 women attending.
I have been working with this conference for over ten years, coordinating the workshops, and found Jennifer’s workshop to be extremely well received. Women came out of the workshop encouraged, rather than overwhelmed with the task of organizing their lives. She related well to women from a wide spectrum of ages and places in life, and her message was so applicably grounded in Scripture.
I would highly recommend Jennifer as a speaker. We will be asking her back."

"Great stories and examples. I now realize how much is in my power; I just have to schedule time to make it happen."

“When I attended Jennifer’s ‘File Anything…’ class, I was in dire straits. My parents had recently passed away and I had purchased their townhouse from the estate, so I encountered a move. I had also started a new job.
That year I was filing not only my personal income taxes but also my dad’s personal taxes and an estate filing.
I was completely overwhelmed with paper and didn’t know where to start. At Jennifer’s class I was given a plan!
I went home, created my folders and filed all the paper accordingly. When I showed up at my accountant’s office with all the paper in the appropriate labeled folders, she was quite impressed! I’m now in the process of redoing my complete file system so I can find the paper I need when I need it. Thank you, Jennifer!”

"My greatest challenge is acting upon 'flashes of insight' that would create more opportunities in my life. Your seminar brought back into focus my need to act.
—Jay Roddy, Edward Jones, St. Bonifacius, MN
“Jennifer is very effective in delivering a presentation that is entertaining, provides helpful tools, and spurs us on to overcoming procrastination.”
—Pamela Rediger, St. Louis Park, MN
“Very interesting and funny, too. Thanks for all your research! The handouts were very helpful. You made it seem so exciting to be organized, and you gave us new ideas and tips we can use right away.”

"It's like you had a window into my home and soul...thanks for your help and inspiration."
—Denise Lewandowski, Columbia Heights, MN
"I felt so accomplished with organizing around the house yesterday after listening to you speak...I'm having my kids put their clothes in the hamper, hung a Honey-Do List and a bulletin board (and I’m letting the kids arrange it--no more tape on the walls!), organized our books (and found some library books I thought I had already returned), did two loads of laundry, got rid of old receipts, donated some bedding, sorted toys, went through some piles of paper, called the opt-out number, and mailed my reduce waste form. Now I'm working on creating a dry erase board. Thanks for lighting a fire under me."
—Jennifer Gansler, St. Paul, MN
“I liked the tips on how to make it easy for kids, and I appreciated the incorporation of scripture. You are enthusiastic, descriptive, and encouraging. You made me feel like I could do it!”
—Michelle Rose, Eagan, MN
"I have heard lots of organizing speakers, but you made it much more simplistic. I felt that if I could go home and start getting organized in little places, I would also be able to organize in other places where I have felt chaos."
—Kim McKinney, Denver, CO
"I was very happy having Jennifer Swanson as our speaker for our women's church retreat weekend. She was very personable, motivating, and knowledgeable on the topic of organization. We came away with a lot of useful information to help us in our homes, including a system for filing all of our paperwork. Jennifer also taught us strategies for purposeful time management that included meaningful quiet time with the Lord. She answered any questions we had, gave us opportunities to share what organizational systems worked for us, and kept a Christ-centered focus on a very practical part of our lives.
Since the retreat, women are still approaching me with praise about Jennifer and have informed me that the tips and ideas she shared on organization have made their lives much easier and less stressful. Jennifer did a great job, and I would have her speak again for us in the future.

"Keeping a home organized can be a challenging and overwhelming task for mothers with young children. In her time with us, Jennifer shared numerous practical and effective ways to organize our homes, both on our own and with our children’s participation. The manner in which Jennifer seamlessly blended visual aids, humor, Scripture and Biblical principles into her presentation, made her talk resonate with us even more. Jennifer’s presentation was so effective and valuable, in fact, that now, five months later, I still hear women from our group discuss the ways they have organized their homes.
As a speaker coordinator who works with many speakers, I can say firsthand that Jennifer made my job very easy. She anticipated my needs. All aspects and details of her presentation were given to me prior to the time I needed them.
Jennifer is an amazing speaker and motivator. She is a caring, inspirational, and authentic presenter. Jennifer speaks from the heart, she speaks from her willingness to help others, and, best of all, she speaks from experience! I have, and will continue to highly recommend Jennifer for future speaking engagements!"
—Laura Pettis, MOPS Speaker Coordinator

"Not only did I receive positive feedback from our mothers verbally, but numerous mothers praised Jennifer on our Speaker Evaluation Form. Moreover, all of our moms indicated that they would recommend having Jennifer speak to our group again.
Jennifer is a gifted speaker and a consummate professional. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a professional speaker.”
—Anita Ebert, Coordinator
Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) of Friendship Church; Shakopee, MN
"Jennifer Swanson gave us an amazing presentation about organization.
Not only does she have fabulous ideas, she has new ideas--beyond common sense! She has researched many areas,
so she speaks to issues with informative and instructional accuracy. Jennifer will inspire you in many aspects of
organizing as well as a solid philosophical shot in the arm about 'simplicity'."
