Reviews

?Denise has coached me on numerous occasions, helping me through some difficult patches in my own creative development. She has the amazing ability to see to the heart of the matter and then show that heart to you, helping you to find your creative direction. For me, I was stuck in a creative rut. I knew what I really wanted to be doing, but didn't feel I could stretch myself and still make a living. Denise, coached me through to see that I could pursue my creative passions and be successful at the same time.? Jason Cranford Teague, web designer and author

?Denise is a enthusiastic, well organised speaker who, during a talk or workshop, reaches inside your brain, takes out the dull and non-creative parts, lets you examine and question them, sprinkles it with ?magic? in the form of original and easy to follow exercises that spark creativity and diminish destructivity. She then places it back in your cranium. Her enthusiasm is very contagious ? you want to go out and put her ?magic? into practice. This is what she does best, this ?magic? is her trademark. This ?magic? is a deep understanding of how the human brain works, how to provoke creativity, fight destructivity and fear, spark innovation and teach you how to make your brain work the way it is intended.? Sidney de Koning, CEO, Mannetje de Koning

"Every creative person I know, from designers to CEOs, suffers from the inner voice that tells us we?re not good enough, we?re not special enough, and darn it, nobody likes us. While a little humility is a good thing, too much self-doubt can keep you from achieving what you were put on earth to accomplish. Being your best, authentic self is the only way to fulfill your dreams and leave the world better than you found it. Denise Jacobs can guide you away from your self-imposed naysayers and set you on the path to achieving the serene self-confidence you deserve. Nobody charts this terrain better than she does." Jeffrey Zeldman, studio.zeldman and An Event Apart
