Jana Cardona is an experienced and celebrated speaker. Jana is knowledgeable, engaging, and motivating when she delivers a speech or presentation. I have been fortunate enough to hear Jana speak both in person and virtually (within several different organizations). She does an incredible job in either format. I can assure you that once you hear Jana speak, you will want to have her come back for an encore presentation. You will not be disappointed.

“Jana created an environment for our team to learn about each other and our strengths on a deeper level. She encouraged us to focus on our strengths and what we all can bring to the table rather than getting down on ourselves about weaknesses. She was flexible through all of the trials that a post COVID world can try to throw at you and didn’t blink an eye once when we had to change plans last minute; a true pleasure to work with. We feel like she is a part of our TAG family now. We have felt the incredible effects of her training even months after our team went through a half day course with her. We are greatly looking forward to continuing to work with her in the future!”

"The strengths-based workshop with Jana Cardona was so beneficial to the Thistle and Bee team, that we decided to incorporate it into our general program to ensure that all clients now and into the future will have the same opportunity to gain powerful insight into themselves, their sisters, and the community. Shifting from a deficit-based mindset to a strengths-based mindset has already helped us to learn how to work more effectively as a team and to encourage each other as we do incredibly difficult work (both residents and clients). Jana taught us that understanding our capabilities and aligning our goals to match our strengths is an important step towards living our best lives. Thank you Jana. You provided such valuable insight to the entire program!"
