Patty Croom’s talk to the Rotary Club of Downers Grove was nothing short of inspiring. With authenticity, raw emotion, and undeniable passion, she shared the deeply personal journey behind her blog, Just Jump, and her first book, When Will She Be Better. Patty has a remarkable ability to connect with her audience, drawing them in with her heartfelt storytelling and openness. Her willingness to be vulnerable not only captivates the room but also leaves a lasting impact, encouraging everyone to strive for personal growth each day. I highly recommend Patty as a speaker—her message resonates in a way that stays with you long after the conversation ends.
