Jennifer’s Story Coaching Changed My Life
My first career was in telecommunications. I enjoyed my work and wasn’t looking for a change, but a magazine article on coaching made me reconsider everything about my job and my professional career.
It was 2005 and coaching was beginning to catch on in business and lifestyle circles. The article talked about the skills required to become a good coach—patience, adaptability, creative thinking, a passion for helping others. These were skills that came naturally to me and that I’d been using personally and professionally for as long as I could remember. I felt a strong urge to use these same skills to help leaders.
I enrolled in the world’s first coach training school, CoachU. Upon graduating in 2009, I started my own coaching practice. Over the years, I have refined my method, and today I use somatic-led coaching and training to help leaders in various sectors lead with more authenticity, empathy, and energy.

They also know that their own self-development is critical to their team’s performance.

When you lead with authenticity, you build the respect and the trust you need to move your organization forward.

COACHING PHILOSOPHY
I am confident that you hold the answers to whatever it is that is holding you back from being a great leader. Having the right help at the right time makes all the difference. My goal is to give you the right support so that you can zero-in on the crux of the problem, crush it, and become the leader you were born to be.
OPEN YOUR EYES TO NEW WAYS OF THINKING
I carefully consider the questions I ask my clients. My goal is to open your eyes to a new way of being, of thinking, of doing. I teach clients how to listen to the pure wisdom their body has to offer and to pinpoint the experience(s), thought(s), and emotion(s) that keep them from moving forward. Sometimes, it’s an experience from earlier in life or negative thoughts stemming from a recent conversation at work. It can also be a vague feeling of inadequateness that needs defining.
JOURNEY TO SELF-DISCOVERY
I want my clients to excel at work and in life, and I select my clients carefully. I look for self-starters and people who are motivated to embrace change. I meet with clients 1:1 during highly focused, 30-minute sessions, and then support their learning and growth with unlimited email and text exchanges outside of meeting times. Most clients witness dramatic change in their behavior and attitude in less than 30 days.
The journey to self-discovery is one that I am honored to take with clients. It is one of the main reasons I am passionate about coaching leaders. Many clients are delighted with how quickly they achieve meaningful change and real results. You possess the key to your success. Let me help you find it so you can unlock your strengths and use them to become the best leader possible.
COACHING METHODS
Spaced Learning
Everyone has unique learning needs. I provide clients with experiential, spaced learning opportunities and access to personalized learning resources. These resources include podcasts, videos, books, documentaries, and academic journals. Leaders can use these tools to gain new insights and knowledge.
In coaching, I help clients identify the best tools and navigate learning resources, a lifetime benefit that supports their ongoing development and evolution.
