Sponsor Reviews (From Some Who Have Rewired)

"Jeri is an incredible speaker who is extremely insightful. She really connects with our financial advisors and clients in a meaningful way about the issues they’re facing in retirement.”
Aimee R. DeCamillo, Vice President, The Retirement Group, Merrill Lynch

"Jeri's visit to Bon Secours Richmond Health System helped us take our retention efforts to a new level. Just her presence sent a signal that we're now operating at a higher caliber -- serious work is at hand, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun! In one session, she spoke to leadership about their individual opportunities for rewiring and in turn nurturing that in employees. In the other session, she inspired employees, retirees and volunteers to claim their dreams -- even at work! She was professional, funny and "right on" about our potential for fulfillment, as an organization and as people."
Stephanie Shareck, Bon Secours Richmond Health System
