"In May 2010 Jacqui Cooper stepped in at the last minute to be the key note speaker for our annual conference. With slightly more than 48 hours to prepare, Jacqui proved just what a champion she is. Her presentation did what many other champion sports personalities fail to do. She very clearly and concisely married together what is required to be successful in sport with what is necessary to be successful in business. Jacqui's life story and the examples she gave demonstrated that to be a champion in sport and in business you have to have a plan, both short and long term. You have to have persistence. You must be dedicated. You must train both the mind and the body and most important of all you must be prepared to go beyond what is regarded as the norm. I have no hesitation in recommending Jacqui Cooper to any company or organisation looking for a key note speaker who can marry together what is required to be successful in sport and business whilst at the same time be very professional and very entertaining."
– Bill Friend, Executive Officer, Insight Insurance
"Jacqui was fantastic. I knew she was a wonderful athlete but I never knew the extent of her courage and strength. I loved listening to Jacqui and hearing about her story. Very inspiring.”

“La Trobe Financial is proud to have been Jacqui’s lead Sponsor for the past three(3) years as she embodies all the attributes and hallmarks of wonderful Australian sportswomen and International Champion. She is modest, warm and sincere and has an unparalleled ability to communicate her message to a whole host of age groups that we employ from 18 to 50. This five time Olympian is one in a billion, and an opportunity to hear from her real life injury come backs time and time again, as well as her World cup achievements should never be missed.”
– Greg O’Neill, CEO La Trobe Financial Corporation
“It has helped us to keep driving forward and overcoming challenges when things appear to get jammed in our business. She delivered such a powerful message to the team.”

“I have heard Jacqui speak on about three occasions and each time I have been inspired by her story. I have witnessed the effect on the audience, she has them spellbound as she talks about her achievements and the incredible challenges she has overcome with injuries etc. yet still bounce back to the top. The most important take away for me is that you can reach incredible heights and then incredible lows but if you want something enough, and if you are passionate enough and single minded enough to pursue it – it will happen!"
– Human Resources, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Australia/New Zealand
“Jacqui had the crowd mesmerised, with applause from the group throughout her speech. She was more than happy to answer any questions and she personally went up to each table after her speech with one of her world titles trophy and handed her world championship medals around the room. She was also happy to have her photo taken with trophy in hand with any and everyone from my group. I really don’t know how I’m going to top next year's dinner – it has been three days and I am still receiving calls and emails about Jacqui.”
