Your film, was superb, your discussion compelling, you’re a joy to work with, and we had a sold out house. What more can I say? We’ll have you back anytime.

Thank you for an awe-inspiring presentation!
Nancy Mitchell, Executive Director, Women’s Business Center, Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce
The audience was greatly moved by your appearance and it was the buzz here at headquarters for many days afterwards.

Jennifer rocks. She’s never failed to give us a good interview… even when she’s talking on a scratchy cell-phone from the snowy, wind-whipped foot of K-2. She’s articulate, colorful, and she’s got energy to burn.

Jennifer Jordan is a great storyteller. Her film and book are a tribute to the triumph of the human spirit.
Geralyn White Dreyfous, Executive Producer, Academy Award Winning Born into Brothels
When we decided to work with Jennifer Jordan, we knew it would be good, but we didn’t know just how fine a piece it would be. We hosted over 500 people at two public showings, and the reviews were glowing from all participants.

Children and adults alike were spellbound by Jennifer’s stories – partly because of the spectacular subject matter and partly because of Jennifer’s personality and story-telling capabilities. She was a big favorite at the Festival.

Jennifer Jordan was simply amazing! She used anecdotes that were incredibly interesting, relevant and thought provoking. Our team was clearly energized and motivated by her workshop.

Thank you for your sell out lecture at the New York Explorers Cub. Everyone was riveted to your story and film. And your book is terrific. We look forward to your next endeavor.

When the Salt Lake City Film Center showed Women of K2, sold out crowds drawn from climbers, outdoor lovers and general public filled an unprecedented four standing room only screenings, all of which hung on every word of the Q&As with Jennifer Jordan and Jeff Rhoads that followed. The appreciative comments that we received about the film flowed in for days after the program. What a success!

Jennifer’s professional experience and passion for her subject really shone through at our store event. The night before she had spoken to over 100 people at an outdoor gear store less than 100 yards away from us… and she again drew an eager crowd at Barnes & Noble! Like the women she writes about in Savage Summit, Jennifer herself is a role model for adventure and a boundary-breaking lifestyle.

“Savage Summit” is one of those rare surprises: a non-fiction gripper. That the stories Jordan tells are true makes her book a powerful and fascinating read. If you don’t like high altitude climbing, you’ll still be drawn in by her portraits of the five women who reached the top of K2: one determined and dominating, one soldiering on for love, one too caught up in the excitement to be truly careful, one manipulative of men, and one deserving but ultimately at the mercy of the elements.
Melissa Gray, Producer, The Bob Edwards Show
As a model of someone who definitely went out on a limb to do something different, Jennifer was a great example for my students of a woman of discovery.
Jim Johnson, Professor, Smith College
An amazing job chronicling the stories of the women of K2--very remarkable.

Jennifer Jordan captivated her audience at the Harvard Club in Boston. I have seldom heard such universal praise for one of our programs.
Edmund Summersby, President, Harvard Travellers’ Club
Fascinating!
Jennifer was awesome!
More, please!
The biggest NCCC event this year!
Very inspirational!
Audience reviews, North Country Community College, Saranac Lake, NY
Thanks again for a wonderful event! Last night’s film screening was “the buzz” on campus today. My email and voicemail were filled with praises this morning. What a unique opportunity for our students and community members! The film was fantastic and getting a chance to chat with you was icing on the cake for the audience. We look forward to having you back again soon!”
Stefanie Kearns, Coordinator, Wilderness Recreation Leadership Program, North Country Community College, Saranac Lake, NY
Jennifer's stories bring new light and life to topics that are part of everyday life, shadowing issues women face constantly with the deep contrasts existing in the life and death situations of her book.
