Moderating/facilitating/hosting
Jayne has huge experience working on conferences, road shows, seminars and awards ceremonies. She excels at gauging the tone of an event, bringing intelligence, warmth, energy and professionalism to the stage and making a connection with the audience.
She ad-libs with ease and, after years on live television, thrives on the ‘seat of pants’ nature of some events. She handles Q & A sessions, panel discussions and one-to-one interviews with skill (putting interviewees at their ease or through their paces, as required).
Delegate feedback suggests she is a real asset to an event. Corporate clients say she adds real, tangible value to their team. And Jayne’s events always finish on time!
“You did a wonderful job helping the evening to flow perfectly and maximising donations in a convivial fashion, pitched perfectly for the audience”

The best thing that happened to our conference was a friend recommending Jayne Constantinis. Jayne was brilliant from the very beginning of our engagement! She was professional, keen to understand the nature and content of the event and was supremely pleasant to work with.
In addition to her skilful performance on the day, when she seamlessly transitioned from keynote to panel to interview as if she knew each presenter personally, Jayne also added value by making planning suggestions and, herself, delivering a mini-workshop which was most enthusiastically received. In fact, out of 5 keynote speakers (and 15 panellists), Jayne scored the highest in our audience feedback.
Her expertise, pride in her work and passion for delivering top notch service were greatly valued – not just by the organisers but, more importantly, by the audience! For a successful conference or speaking event, I couldn’t recommend a better moderator and overall contributor than Jayne Constantinis.
I just wanted to thank you for proving to the XX team that a good facilitator is essential for events of this type. I really appreciate how much time you invested in their success. They will have to work hard to find anyone who does such a thorough job as you in future!
Jayne offers more than other presenters/facilitators who just look good reading autocue in a studio. For us she handled a complex event with a sensitive subject and tight timetable. She excelled at thinking on her feet under pressure; being flexible and proactive at problem solving. She interpreted the tone of the event perfectly, connected with the audience and added real value with scripting. I would trust Jayne with any event which needs skilful communication.
You really did make a massive contribution to the day, Jayne. Your energy, sense of humour, professionalism was simply stunning, not to mention your engagement with the audience …
I have worked with a lot of facilitators, Jayne is one of the best in pulling the narrative together and bringing out impactful messages. She did an amazing job throughout the day
Thank you again for the huge contribution you made yesterday. Your talk was outstanding and so well received. It is the fourth time I have had the pleasure of listening to you speak and each time I have learnt something new and thoroughly enjoyed what you have to say. What an uplifting and inspiring way to end the morning.
It was lovely seeing you facilitate yesterday. With such ease and grace that it seems like facilitating panels is no skill at all …
