"Jo Reynolds entertained and enlightened members of North Norfolk U3a at our first live monthly talk in January 2022, with her experiences as a firefighter in Norfolk Fire Service, told with a lively and self effacing humour. We learned what it was like for her at the age of 17 to be the first woman in a firmly male environment, how she overcame the initial scepticism and mistrust, and about the dedication and camaraderie amongst firefighters that she grew to relish. Jo told us about her fascinating journeys through several different parts of the world and several different successful careers, after leaving the fire service. Jo's experiences showed what can be achieved with self-belief, passion and energy, and never taking oneself too seriously. It was a super, uplifting talk for a January morning. (David Riddle, Speaker Finder, North Norfolk u3a)"

East Anglian business women celebrate International Women’s Day -Keynote Speaker
Keynote speaker at Women In Investment Awards 2018
"I first met Jo at a celebratory evening for women in Finance in London. I had been nominated for an industry award, and the night was to be a celebration of all women leading change, breaking down barriers and creating new possibilities for equal representation in the world of Finance. She was the keynote speaker and I loved her immediately. Witty, quirky, clever and funny, Jo does not take herself too seriously, yet she has achieved so much and is an inspiration and role model to so many. In short, she is my kind of person :-). I introduced myself, bought her book and read it a few weeks later in one go, I could not put it down. In her written words I recognised the woman I saw in London, her strength, her passion, her understanding of her self-worth as something more than a job title or money, and her never giving up. In her book, Jo talks about how people could never tell whether she was straight, gay or something in between. And this was for me the best bit of the book (amongst so many good ones!). The time I learnt I did not need to belong, rather I just needed to be myself, is imprinted in my mind as my 'coming of age' time. Jo, her can do attitude, ability to achieve her dreams and her fearlessness in sticking to who she is.'
