• Excellent! - Excellent presentation - She was so honest and therefore a breath of fresh air - Very informative – Great! -  Wonderful, changed my practice - Wow! An “ah-ha” moment.
  
  
• I had the pleasure of listening to Pat at a special nursing reunion retreat.  I was part of an eclectic group of professional, experienced and diverse women who have been known to be critical as well.  Pat was a breath of fresh air!  Entertaining yet insightful, her talks were sprinkled with humor and reality.  As nurses, we are caregivers to not only our patients but to friends and family as well.  We are also mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, etc.  Pat was able to identify with every person in the room in one way or another.  We have obvious differences and life experiences yet she brought us all together as women who actually have many similarities, beliefs, hopes and dreams.  As we reflect on that special weekend, I doubt if Pat realizes the impact she had on many of us. 
  
  
• The openness of a guest speaker who has “been there”, and realizes under what conditions we sometimes have to work in.

• Pat, you represent the type of healthcare professional I aspire to be.  I will be taking your influence everywhere I work.
  
• Pat is an excellent communicator both in her verball and written reports.  She clearly communicates expectations, ideas and concepts in a positive way and encourages input and feedbck from others.  She is an active, reflective and empathetic listener who is able to establish a good rapport with others.   
  
  
• Pat is extremely able to adapt her seminars to participant’s needs and objectives.  It seems as if each workshop is “tailor made” to her audience.
  
  
• It hit our facility on the head with all the ideas and suggestions.
  
  
• Humorous and knowledgeable way of looking at ourselves and how we relate to others at home and work.
  
  
• The speaker was able to pick up on and identify what basic problems existed and she cleverly and tactfully suggested what needs to happen in order to promote changes. 
  
  
• Pat touched a nerve.  I didn’t realize how much of her talk was about ME.

• Excellent presentation, she knows her subject well. 
  
  
• She was absolutely incredible; she left you with the warmest feeling.
  
  
• We were experiencing morale problems in all levels of staff and this was affecting productivity.  Pat held focus groups with frontline staff, managers and board members to gain insight and to problem solve in an empowering manner.  Pat’s involvement went from reactive and intense to proactive, supportive and educational.  She had the ability to connect with all involved and to develop a common vision which reconnected the worksite, increased morale and increased customer service. 
  
  
• In seeing you work as a consultant, I have seen that the role of the nurse is to not only have excellent clinical skills, but to look at the patient in a multi-dimensional, holistic way and to serve as the patient advocate with the various providers of health care.  You show respect for your colleagues in all disciplines and this in turn creates respect for you.  You have shown me that nurses can and should take a leadership role in the organization at all levels.  Whether a nurse is at the bedside or in the boardroom, you can expect that the ultimate patient or client impact of every decision is the bottom line. 
  
  
• Pat was a consultant at my place of work.  Being involved in Pat’s “focus groups” and then in her workshops has given me a different perspective of myself, my family, my colleagues, my boss and my work.
  
  
• Ms. Jurgens exhibited excellent leadership skills with her consulting staff that was very loyal and committed to the company’s goals.  Her ability to manage her human resources was very much a team approach where input by all was valued and the service could be used creatively to produce positive outcomes.
