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 boyfriend Baden and their three rescue cats: Charlie, Rosie, & Boscoe.

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 18 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, and stress management.

Jolene is honored to be a finalist for the 2021 Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce ABEX Awards in the 'Service' category, the 2021 Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce SABEX Awards in the ‘Entrepreneurship’ category and the 2021 WESK Celebration of Achievement & Entrepreneur Awards in the 'Resilience' category. She was also a finalist in the 2019 NSBA ‘Business Builder’ Awards and the 2018 & 2019 Better Business Bureau Torch Awards for Ethics. She is looking forward to continuing to expand her business across Canada this upcoming year and truly loves being an entrepreneur!
