"I am so glad I met Laura. As an attorney, I deal regularly with clients (and other parties/counsel) during moments of severe distress. In a very short period of time, Laura has already given me tools I am using daily to better express compassion for the needs of those around me both professionally and personally...and some basic steps I can follow when I don't know what to say, so I can better "be there" for people who are suffering in ways that defy words. As a perpetual "fixer" it is often hard for me not to immediately look at how I can solve a problem (even those that are impossible to solve, or that aren't even problems that anyone would expect me to try to fix). Laura has helped me to better understand the importance of self-compassion in those moments as well, and how to change my perspective on what is (or should be) expected of me when helping people travel through painful moments in their lives. I look forward to diving in deeper to what Laura teaches and continuing to apply what I've learned. She's a great teacher, and an excellent communicator, imparting immediate and usable techniques to her clients. Thanks Laura!"

"Laura is a visionary, author, and speaker with an infectious personality and energy. The moment I was introduced to her she was gracious enough to commit to speaking at a local resource group I organize in the Portland, OR healthcare circuit. She did an outstanding job in engaging the group in understanding compassionate communication and laying out the principles found within her most recent book. She is fluid and adaptable in her approach to a challenging practice. She is doing very important work that is much needed within our society - work that starts by working on self and going within so we can better serve and honor those around us across family, career, and the world we are all attempting to coexist within. I highly recommend her for ongoing training sessions among healthcare professionals so she can provide her invaluable work to healers and servants who often struggle with taking care of themselves in the midst of caring for others."

"Some speakers know what to say, and some speakers have the art of delivery, but Laura Jack is one of those rare people that embody her message to the core and can deliver powerful, transformational experiences to her audiences even before she says a word. Who she is shines so brightly, that when she speaks it is merely a poetic articulation of what one has already sensed from her loving, compassionate presence. She is a master teacher, through and through, and has a rare gift to change lives with her message."

"Laura is a fantastic speaker and educator. Her kind demeanor, affable nature and easy-going presentation style makes people feel at ease even when discussing difficult topics such as grief, loss and empathy. I would highly recommend her as a speaker, trainer, workshop provider or really in any capacity! She has presented at the library several times and has very positive reviews from attendees and staff."
