Thanks for facilitating a thought provoking and lesson filled workshop today, Jenni Walke.
Your engagement and facilitation skills were A1. I’d recommend your business to anyone looking for a top-quality consultancy agency.
I really enjoyed learning about how building a business isn’t just about what you do, but the impact you can create. Taking time to reflect on this was so important for me.

I really enjoyed learning about how building a business isn't just about what you do, but the impact you can create.
Taking time to reflect on this was so important for me.
I'm new in my journey of First Nations business entrepreneurship and really appreciated Jenni's guidance on how to launch, grow and succeed within this insdustry. She shared a wealth of knowledge that was presented in a format that was easy to digest.
The biggest takeaway for me was how important it is to have a business plan. It's something that I currently don't have in place but will prioritise as it will be the blueprint for the success of my small black business.
Attending her workshop allowed me to build my confidence and competence in furthering my business capabilities. Looking forward to the next workshop!
Many thanks,

Working with Jenni on our tender responses, was a game-changer for our business. Her expertise in tender response development and understanding of supplier diversity principles have significantly contributed to our success.
With Jenni's guidance, we were able to develop compelling tender responses, which led to us securing several long-term contracts, and has set us up to bid on future work.
Her insights and commitment to excellence were evident throughout the process. She took the time to understand our business objectives and ensured that our tender responses stood out from the competition.
We highly recommend Jenni and the team at ‘Elephant in the Room Consulting’ and promote her wherever we can.

When life brings you lemons, make lemonade. Any start-up company or entrepreneur will confirm this.- you will meet many citruses down the road.
As I flirted with the idea of creating an online training business, I didn't know where to start and felt overwhelmed. I began very, very slowly. At first, wishing to save money, I tried doing everything on my own. While busy wearing all the hats, I was literally chasing my own tail and didn't go anywhere. Seemed I was building more business with lemons as for my ideas.
And then I met Jenni Walke, the business coach Lemonade maker. Passionate and energetic, she was able to see the essence of who I am and what my passions are. Her genius relies on grasping the big picture, the one that I couldn't see and translate that into step by step strategies.
Many times, I thought I could go on, Jenni stood like a pillar and lighthouse.
Making business lemonade might taste sour. However, Jenni as a coach and mentor on my side is sweeter!

I'd like to share my experience of the remarkable
Jenni Walke! I met her not so long ago at one of her half-day events. I was blown away with her warmth, authenticity, and her vast knowledge and skill-set. I knew right then and there I had stumbled across a rare find. I have since worked with Jenni on taking my vision from pipe-dream into a tangible, money earning reality. If you're fortunate enough to work with the formidable Jenni, I cannot recommend more highly grabbing the opportunity with both hands!

When I reached out to [Jenni] everything was fine in my life.
I am a working Mum with two little girls and I love my husband and I like my job. Nothing was wrong. In fact, everything was fine. But just fine. I realised wanted some zing back in my life, some adventure, new challenges and fun. But I couldn’t articulate what was wrong or what I wanted to change. Jenni has been great at helping me recognise what is great in my life and how to focus more energy into that. And also talking me through what needs improving and how I can affect lasting change. All with encouragement, understanding and wisdom. I honestly wish I had called her earlier. (She will tell you that its all me and I have made the changes and I have, but I would not be in the same place today without her help.) She is the real deal. If you just need a push, some clarification or help finding your passion, this is the lady for you. It is an absolute pleasure to work with her. I am a better person for it.

When I met with Jenni I got more than I bargained for. She is dynamic and insightful, and a fountain of knowledge. Jenni really knows her stuff, and then some! On top of that, she was sensitive to my needs which was reflected in her vision for my business, Scope Solutions. Jenni, thanks for making me think outside the box and pushing me to an uncomfortable but good space. You are an amazing person with a heart of gold, and I am truly grateful to you for helping me to open my eyes and to look towards further possibilities .

Anyone else thinking about [attending one of Jenni's events]... don't hesitate. This woman is AMAZING, somebody I met once and had to go have a drink with the following week. Not many people do that to me but Jenni has a go-getting enthusiasm that is infectious! 💥

Jenni is heaven-sent!
Within minutes of our first meeting, she had easily shone a light on my plans and vision, and helped me redirect to where my focus should be. She broke it down into easy-to-understand steps and given me the push I needed.
Jenni also encouraged me to look outside of the box, which I deeply appreciate.
Thank you

The best business retreat I’ve ever attended. Such a calm environment, lots of rich conversations and learning. Jenni Walke is a master at creating space and time to gain clarity around the messy middle of my business and to be able to reflect on and plan for the growth and evolution of my business. A welcome note, nourishing food and great company made it even more special and easy to learn.
A must attend!
I felt compelled to write you a short note and say thanks for your support of TPC and braving the new world to visit us down here.
We got so much out of the yarn and in particular, a great way to talk about TPC and what we are about, so there is consistency across the business.
The new team members joining at the end of the month are excited and I really think, as you noted, we can now articulate our unique proposition succinctly and share that with the TPC crew + partners.
Your honesty, your ability to challenge us and your experience in this space, has shone a light, sometimes quite brightly and truthfully on some of our blind spots – and I wanted to say it was much appreciated and certainly a smart investment on our part to connect with you and EITR.
Look forward to talking again soon and learning more from you!
JT
P.S. you do realize you are part of the TPC team now!!!!
