PROFILE

Jeanne Martinson is a professional speaker, trainer and author who has worked throughout Canada and internationally. Since starting her own firm in 1993, Jeanne Martinson has inspired thousands of participants in her workshops and keynote presentations with her humour, insight and real-world examples. Jeanne Martinson is a Certified Practitioner of NLP (Neuro Linguisitic Programming) and has formal education in human resources, organizational behaviour, journalism and marketing. Jeanne Martinson became interested in training while working for a Fortune 500 company in southern California. Back in Jeanne Martinson's native Saskatchewan, she side-stepped into sales and marketing for ten years - where in the printing and labelling industry, she took a $25,000 sales territory and grew it to $850,000 within four years. In July 1999, Jeanne Martinson released a non-fiction book entitled “Lies And Fairy Tales That Deny Women Happiness” which explores the myths that Canadian women are raised with and which limit their ability to have happy relationships and fulfilling careers. Jeanne Martinson's second book,“Escape From Oz - Leadership For The 21st Century” was released in October 2001. This book explores the parallels of the characters in the fable “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” and our own beliefs about personal and professional leadership.
