"Thank you for taking the time out of
your busy schedule to speak at our first in a series of Leadership
Breakfast Meetings. Your words of wisdom have made a positive
and lasting impact in our lives and careers. Your
down-to-earth and yet powerful presentation was filled with
encouragement. You showed us how through perseverance and
confidence we can most certainly meet our career and personal
objectives and goals. You are a true leader in our community and we
applaud your past and look forward to your future successes."
Respectfully, Ann Young, President of the Association of Black Law
Enforcement Executives (Los Angeles) "It is with great pleasure that I recommend Jewel Diamond Taylor as a presenter. Jewel has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility and ambition. This seasoned and energizing speaker connects to any audience quickly speaking to the relevant themes of life with a fresh voice and perspective. In addition to her excellent presentation skills that touch people from all walks of life, she has proven her leadership ability by organizing a support group that provides the guidance for continuous self-evaluation and personal growth. As past National President for the National Organization of Blacks in Government, I am happy to give her my wholehearted endorsement." ~ Gregory Reeves, Austin, TX
"Mrs. Taylor, I could not let this day go by and not say a BIG thank you to you! I attended the Urban League’s Empowerment Summit in Hampton on November 8, 2007. This was my first (but certainly not the last) opportunity to be in your presence and to hear you minister and motivate! You delivered awesome words of encouragement and inspiration to me and a dynamic and productive experience. Your presentation was enthusiastic and left me refreshed and motivated. Again, I thank you! Have a good day!" ~ Sonya (keeping my main thing --- my main thing!) "I had the opportunity to participate in one of Ms. Taylor's workshops entitle "How to Take Your Life to the Next Level" during the National Blacks in Government Annual Conference in Atlanta. I cannot put into words the impact Ms. Taylor had on my life. I walked out of her workshop energized, uplifted and ready to take my life and career to the next level. I never forgot Ms. Taylor or what her workshop did for me. So when I was asked to find a keynote speaker for the Drug Enforcement Administrator's 2007 Annual Women's History Month Celebration, I considered no one else but Jewel Diamond Taylor. It was an awesome experience. Her workshops are empowering, effective, engaging and informative. I highly recommend Ms. Taylor. She is truly an awesome speaker, life coach, instructor and role model." Bertha Davis, U. S. Dept of Justice, Philadelphia I just wanted to thank you again for speaking at our school and inspiring the men and women who guide our children everyday. Teachers have one of the toughest jobs today and I believe that what you had to share with us yesterday was a chance for us to learn, to be students instead of teachers. In doing so, we were able to listen differently, see differently, and hopefully do things differently. As I said to you yesterday, you are a beautiful person inside and out and I'm very grateful you came to our community. ~ Claudia Paeth/ Art teacher/Attica School Corp "As a nationwide provider of training and development services, the Graduate School, USDA trains in excess of 150,000 government employees in a variety of topical areas. For several years Jewel Diamond Taylor has participated as a keynote speaker, a workshop presenter and valued colleague for the Graduate School, USDA. In addition to Jewel Diamond Taylor's prowess as a speaker and workshop presenter, she is easy to work with and very reliable meeting timeline requirements to insure a successful program. Any event planner knows that you need reliable and dependable presenters that cooperate with logistics. Many say they will cooperate...Jewel does! I particularly enjoy Jewel's clever and imaginative use of symbolism and language in the creation of her program, poetry and publications. This creativity drives home teaching points and allows the session to flow. Jewel has the ability to motivate men and women, young and old, as well as a diverse audience." ~ Crystal Baker, Program Specialist, Graduate School USDA "On behalf of the Fontana Chamber of Commerce and Inland Empire Woman Conference Executive Planning Committee, we want to thank you for your presentation in the 8th Annual IEWC "The Power of Being a Woman." The event was a huge success. Your support helped us to provide an afternoon of fellowship, personal development and empowerment to over 300 women." Phyllis Clark, Chair, Exec Planning Committee “Ms. Taylor, I certainly do enjoy the CD’s I have ordered from you and the books. I am ready to order another book and possibly another CD. I really get a lot out of the CD’s and books. I feel as if you are here talking to me and encouraging me to take another step forward and another and focus on what is forward because what’s behind is behind us, it is gone. I am a 52 year old College student and I love it. Education is very important to me and self esteem which over the years I have had squashed, but through your positive attitude and spirit I realize I deserve to achieve whatever I can and go forward in all area’s of my life. And that is what I plan to do! You are a big motivator and an inspiration to me. God Bless” - Teresa W., Indiana "Thank you Jewel Diamond Taylor for your exceptional presentation at the U. S. Army Human Resources Command - St. Louis. Your workshop "How to Cope with Change" was a great inspiration for all who attended the program. On behalf of myself and the Command, I thank you for your presentation on the 13th of September 2006." ~ Robert T. Marsh, Colonel, U. S. Army Commanding "You are truly an inspiration to both men and women. Having attended my first Blacks in Government Conference this year in New York, I did not know what to expect in regards to seminars. Your seminar titled. "You Are Too Blessed to be Stressed", got me so motivated I attended your next seminar titled, "Its the Way You Do the Things you Do". It was just as enlightening. You made my BIG experience huge!!!!!!! ~ Richard B. "Your e-mails mean a lot....it helps to keep me focused. My husband, Harry Glenn, died on September 11, 2001 in the Terrorist Attacks at the World Trade Center in NYC. Harry worked on the 97th floor of the North Tower. Each and every morning before his death he would always check to see your Motivational Gems e-mail and would make it a point of printing a copy for me to read during my workday or if time permitted, he would e-mail it to me at work. Thanks for helping me to heal and get through so a difficult time. God Bless You and your willingness to help others." ~ Sharon Cobb-Glenn "Jewel your motivational messages inspire me as I read them here in Australia. Keep up the work. You get me many through difficult days. Please don't ever stop doing what you do so well." C. Shaw - Melbourne, Australia "What a pleasure it has been having you share with us in our special Women of Excellence ministry. We were all inspired and motivated to move to the next level of our lives. It is our prayer that as you serve the people of our generation, many more lives will be changed because of your obedience to the call of God on your life. On behalf of the leadership and members of Bahamas Faith Ministries, we extend our heartfelt thanks to you for allowing yourself to be used of God in such a beautiful way." - Ruth Monroe, President, Women of Excellence Ministry - Pastor Myles Munroe Dear Jewel,

"I have been looking for my purpose. Your workshops and church and so many other paths have slowly but surely bringing clarity to my destiny. A long story short, your witness today put a key in place I have been searching for. Thank you for being a witness to God. Please always be open to what His will is in your life." Larry, Denver, CO "I was encouraged to find my passion after hearing you speak at Warm Spirit's Sales Conference in New Orleans. You are an awesome speaker and a blessing to women everywhere!" Vanessa B. "I attended a workshop you did at the end of March on Edwards Air Force Base. After the afternoon Tea I came to talk to you. Your workshop really moved me and made me change my life. I went and bought a journal the very next day. I read over the notes of the workshop to keep me motivated. I would like to thank you so much for all you have done. It is amazing what words can do when you hear them from the right person. " ~ Angela R. 
"On behalf of the Black History Awareness Celebration committee, we'd like to thank you again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to be a part of our program. Your participation has certainly helped make our program a great success. We really enjoyed your powerful presentation and applaud you for your ability to captivate and motivate the audience. You were dynamic!" Rosalyn Youngblood, Chairperson, CHEVRON "Mrs. Taylor, I was very blessed this year to have my 21 year old African American daughter as one of the graduates at UCLA where you were the graduation guest speaker. Throughout my daughter's graduation party, your speech was the favorite topic. It was so memorable and it touched everyone!! I could think of several people in my life at the top of my head that I wish were there to also hear it. If there is any chance I could purchase a copy of that speech - please, please let me know! If not, can someone e-mail me a list of tapes or books (especially books) with purchasing directions? I am especially interested in the subject of not allowing fear to hold us back. It took hearing your statement for it to hit me how much I've allowed fear to hold me back. There have been so many things I put off doing because of fear of "what if ...". I am a single Mom of 4 that worked 11 years at two jobs raising my children in Inglewood. There were many times I didn't know how I would feed my children the next week (not an exaggeration). But my Heavenly Father always managed to keep food on the table. Christmases and birthdays were very meager. I've been very blessed with good kids that are all college graduates now (my oldest received his masters at USC last year in Social Work). I very thankful they were not victims of the streets. I so appreciate speakers like yourself. Please keep doing what you do! It keeps many of us going. I didn't finish college but, now that I don't have to work two jobs, at 48 I'm back in school. I miss having small children around, so I recently made the long over due call about doing foster parenting. For to long fear has slowed me down, and I didn't realize it until I heard your speech. You are so loved!" ~ Gloria N., Los Angeles, CA "I recently
purchased your book - "Too Blessed to be Stressed". I
can hardly put it down. I feel as though someone is speaking
directly to me. If you do not have this book and
there are issues in your life that you know you need to address,
you should pick up a copy of this book. I have so many
motivating books, tapes etc. on my closet shelf. I would
pick out parts I wanted to hear, skip through them and never
finished one from cover to finish. With "Too Blessed
to be Stressed", you do not want to miss one word. It
gives you a strong desire to be better. I took one "baby
step" and already good has come of it. For the first time
I feel hope regarding my self imposed prison. The key has
always been there. I just never used it. Peace, Love, Joy
and Blessing to you." P. W. - Los Angeles
"You are gifted from on high. Even in the midst of a bountiful supply of gifted professional speakers, you stand out as a beacon. Your book is a gem, needing only exposure to the larger American audience to take off. Thank you for my personal and personalized copy. You have grace, depth, breadth, eloquence, sincerity and humor. Sincerely Sr. Pastor "Chip" Cecil L. Murray, First AME Church, Los Angeles, CA Jewel: My meeting you, your sister and daughter at Blacks in Government in Atlanta August of 2002 has been a real blessing to me and my family. You really were and have been an inspiration my life and I have the privilege of passing it along to my daughter and friends. I shall never forget that morning (when I was tired and sleepy and was on my way to another seminar), heard the wonderful music from your seminar and just wondered in and sat near the back. Well, let me tell you I wondered in sleepy and tired and left refreshed and motivated! - V. Johnson "Thank Jewel Diamond Taylor for sharing your success gems with us as our keynote speaker for Women Owners of McDonald's franchises. Your presentation has received enthusiastic and wonderful reviews. We wish you all the best." WON Conference - San Francisco "The Superstars Advisory Committee wishes to thank you for your participation at the Tenth Annual Superstars Conference on May 8, 2002. Your presentation on self-esteem received excellent ratings. We are looking forward to working with you again." Donna Zamor, L. A. Unified School District, Personnel Commission "It was an absolutely joyful and enriching experience having you at World Vision for our annual Black History Celebration. I have received nothing less than praise for the chapel service and several staff shared how they were challenged to think, some brought to tears, and others were given an opportunity to reflect on their personal history and church roots. Thank you, we were blessed by your gifts." Angela D. Black - World Vision "I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in the San Diego County Symposium 2002. Your address was well received by over 300 persons from the San Diego law enforcement and service communities. Your keynote address was instrumental in setting the tone." Carol Williams, Parole and Community Services Division I just want to thank Jewel for using the gifts that God has given her to encourage and inspire others. I consider you to be one of my mentors, and I practically listen to some of your tapes everyday, because I need the encouragement to rise above my challenges in life.. Right now I am looking at some of your books again Too Blessed to Be Stressed, Success Gems and Sisterfriends. We all need other people in our lives who encourage us to live to our fullest potential, enjoy life and be a blessing to others, and you do this in my life. Jewel you are a blessing! I met you and your sister Joy in the Bahamas last year, Thank-you! Joy D. - Nassau Bahamas "Jewel, you
are a God send from heaven. Thanks to all your inspirational thoughts,
I've been able to overcome all the many obstacles that has come
my way. GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY, ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS" -
Lori Flores Guam, USA "Let
there be peace, love and success on earth and let it begin
with me." JDT |
