Speaking Engagements

Marianne Jennings gave her first professional speech in 1979 at a breakfast meeting for some Lions, or was it Elk? Well, it was some animal group, and she was a last-minute substitution for a colleague who couldn’t make the den or covey, or whatever-it-was meeting at the last minute. She was a filler and a substitute speaker for about two speeches. Then the animals began calling her as their first choice.

While she still enjoys that interaction with the fauna of the philanthropic world, she has also branched out to professional groups, corporations, trade organizations, colleges and universities, and even the beauty shop owners of the world. She was a bit nervous about how her hair looked for the last group, but, other than that, she holds up well in front of an audience.

She has been everything from a key note speaker to an all-day trainer to a roaster extraordinaire. She can do 10 minutes or she can do a semester. You can take the professor out of the classroom, but you can’t take the yearning to teach and talk out of the professor.

You can view one of Marianne’s recent television appearances, The Need for an Ethical Business Culture, here: http://www.frtv.org/2013/02/the-need-for-an-ethical-business.

  1. Kris,

    Per my voicemail, I am interested in having Marianne speak at our Compliance Day at Sempra Energy here in San Diego on Nov 29 and also in LA on Nov 30. I attended Marianne’s session at a SCCE conference a couple years ago on “Management: Its Role in Ethical Culture and Compliance” and really enjoyed it.

    Please give me a call to discuss availability, session details, topics and cost.

    Best regards,
    Lana Radchenko, CA, CIA, CCEP
    Director, Corporate Compliance
    Sempra Energy

    Hi,
    I’m on the faculty of the John M. Olin School of Business at Washington University in St Louis. I teach a class titled, Ethical Decision Making for Accountants. We are offering the class as part of our online Master of Accounting program. I am putting the together the second section of this that debuts this summer.
    As part of this curriculum, I’m doing a book club section that features your Seven Signs book.
    As I put this together the thought occurred that it would be really cool if I could include a video interview with you as part of this. Maybe an introductory video, maybe a short chapter by chapter intro. I’d let you decide what makes most sense.
    I don’t have a budget for this, if that is a problem, I get it. But remember, I am selling some of your books.
    Thanks,

    Tom

    And I appreciate it — I am happy to do this — give me a time frame and we can work it in. Sorry for delay in response — book deadlines. My first day back in civilization after a week of nose to the keyboard.
    My email is mmmjdiary@aol.com — I get to that faster than checking on my website. Thanks for asking.
