“Thank you so very much for visiting Henley yesterday and for giving such a wonderful talk. Your energy, enthusiasm and strength were infectious and everyone thoroughly enjoyed listening to the stories of your adventures.

Robyn Vitty, Henley College

“It was extremely valuable for all of our children to listen to your values and commitment to what you do and the determination you have to succeed. It meant that the children could see and understand when they come across difficulties in school or life if they apply these same principles or values they can succeed in what they do”
Mrs S.E Robinson, Headteacher, Thelwall Community Junior School

“Jan engaged with the children immediately and kept the whole school, from the youngest 4 year old to the most cynical 11 year old, totally captivated as she relayed her amazing adventures. We would thoroughly recommend contacting Jan if you need to enhance your children’s learning experiences about the Arctic, the sea, or are looking for inspirational role models”
Karen Goodby, teacher, Ashurst Wood Primary School

“Sometimes you come across an individual, who inspires you so much, and for me that person was you; you made it so clear that you can do anything and that if any opportunity comes your way, you should just live in the moment and take it.”
Student, Bohunt School

“As an accomplished international speaker Jan has addressed thousands of delegates at major conferences, and regularly speaks at corporate functions for organisations such as Vodafone and the Institute of Directors. However, her passion has always been speaking to schoolchildren of all ages. Her schools presentation is both educational and entertaining, and the feedback she gets from the many schools she has already spoken to is fantastic”
David Hempleman-Adams LVO OBE, British adventurer and explorer
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
“Jan interspersed the adventure of the expeditions with relevant and up to date examples and references to climate change that did not hinder the flow of the drama in the talks…Jan had huge amounts of enthusiasm relating to her incredibly adventurous expeditions. She managed to combine the important message that commitment, determination and a positive attitude you can succeed whatever your age or gender…I would certainly recommend Jan as a public speaker- it was an honour to meet such an inspirational person”
Roland Eason, Head of Geography, The British School of Amsterdam
