Jolene's
Bio
Passionate About Inspiring Others
Jolene was born and raised on a grain and cattle farm in Saskatchewan; her passion for animals started at a very young age and led her to her first career in veterinary medicine. Her favorite memory was being the head Registered Veterinary Technologist & Dental Hygienist at the Cat Hospital of Saskatoon (The first cat-only veterinary clinic to ever exist in Saskatchewan). Her love of cats has existed since her childhood and she continues to support local pet rescue organizations to this day and currently shares her life with her fiance Baden and their three rescue cats: Charlie, Rosie, & Boscoe.​
Jolene is a Registered Veterinary Technologist and speaks to veterinary groups.
Her love of speaking was sparked in 2001; her true extroverted nature led her to join Toastmasters International and she later went on to graduate from all four Dale Carnegie courses. She has had over 20 years of experience in office management over the years in various industries including natural resources and healthcare. Her passion for Jungian psychology let her to become certified as a Myers-Briggs® Practitioner through Psychometrics Canada Ltd. where she graduated with a 99% average (she is obviously passionate about psychology). She speaks on a variety of topics and has notable expertise in the areas of networking etiquette, customer service, presentation skills, employee retention, and stress management.
Jolene is so honored to have recently received the following prestigious awards:
1. The NBSA Growth & Expansion Award
2. The Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce Entrepreneurship Award
3. The Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan Growth & Expansion Award
4. The Regina Chamber of Commerce Customer Service Excellence Award
