Feedback about Jackie Barrie, copywriter, trainer, speaker & author
“Jackie is an expert at thinking of and helping the development of fun, impactful breakout activities for use in a keynote. During our hour-long conversation, I took many pages of notes, and came away with a number of extremely valuable ideas, which I am looking forward to putting into practice. Highly recommended. Thank you Jackie.”
Rob Lilwall on LinkedIn (global adventurer, author and speaker based in Hong Kong)
“Within a short space of time in a practical, interactive workshop session as part of a PSASE talk, Jackie demonstrated how a fresh approach to the words you use to describe your business in a strapline can result in that ‘penny dropping’ moment…
This is very much a personal recommendation; it worked for me!
Jackie specialises in writing without waffle, and can prove it from the stage. If you are looking for a speaker with a difference, where your audience will learn a different way of thinking about the words they use in their businesses, book Jackie.”
Ges Ray, about my ‘tart up your tagline’ session
Thanks to Rohini Rathour for this kind testimonial on LinkedIn:
“Jackie has acted as MC for me on two separate occasions and done an excellent job of it both times. First was a charity fundraiser where she had to liaise with a range of performers and introduce each act, and more recently at my book launch. I am impressed with her attention to detail and the thoroughness with which she prepared for both events. I also admire her for her willingness to muck in on the day and go beyond the role she has committed herself to. Having a good MC is a big contributor to the success of any event and I am very grateful to Jackie for making both my events such a success.”
You can spot me in the background at one point…
About last night’s talk for Business Mastery 101: ‘4 x 4 x 4 approach to enhancing your homepage’:
“There is so much clarity in your presentation and you have such a great sense of humour! You help so many people who struggle keeping up with technology, to create and deliver VALUE – with a great smile. No wonder clients are laughing all the way to the bank…”

After a talk about websites and social media:
“Jackie was the guest speaker at our recent Institute of Fundraising Consultants’ event ‘Marketing on a Shoestring.’ She regaled us with top marketing tips, techniques and so much information that her rapt audience was silent for the two hours of her talk! Spontaneous feedback from the delegates described her as ‘brilliant!’, ‘she knows so much’,’that was really useful, I’ve learned so much from her’, ‘I’m going to use some of those techniques in growing my business’.
Jackie really does deliver what she promises; writing without waffle or in our case, talking without tedium.
Very many thanks for such an interesting and informative session; I have never had so many people coming up to me afterwards, enthusing about how much they had enjoyed it.”
Sue Hind Woodward, Institute of Fundraisers SIG
P.S. I thought that you would like to know that I have had 22 requests for your presentation from consultants who couldn’t attend in person, following my post-event email to them. That response is a first, so many thanks once again, for your brilliant session.
Some of the comments from my recent presentation about websites at the London Borough of Bromley Civic Centre, on behalf of Action Coach’s London Coaching Group:
“Very informative, concise and told with passion. Not boring.”
“Will review and refresh my websites, starting with the home page.”
“Jackie is an exceptionally knowledgeable and effective speaker.”
“Really useful. It made me realise all the mistakes I made in designing my own site.”
