Jen’s Story

I help Executive professionals love their jobs. It has become that simple. Whether you want to love the one you are in, find a new one, or are unsure of your life purpose, I can help. It’s my vision to empower leaders to live their lives free of judgment and shame. We can love every part of our lives – even our careers!

A little over a year after I lost my first job, I was in the same situation. Job two, done, and not on my terms. Both times I was caught off guard. I was feeling high about my career and full of energy. And yet, both times, I felt like I walked into a clothesline that I didn’t see coming.

The first round of being let go resulted in a bonus of seven months to remain an employee and work my way out. After a brief reset, I proudly brushed off my resume and started applying.

I landed interviews. I also applied for what I felt were the perfect jobs! And then, I would wait for the reply… which often never happened. It was such an energy drain. I was struggling to know if this was the direction I was to go or listen to the whispers to look into something where I help others. I spent time searching for MBAs in Social Work but what stuck was when I learned about life coaching.

Looking back on it now, I can see how lit up I got when I found others doing this. It was like I couldn’t find enough people to talk to. I wanted more of what they were having… I searched old acquaintances on LinkedIn and sought new ones that appeared, letting the universe know I was curious! And the funny part was I was not one bit nervous about asking them 10,000 questions because I couldn’t seem to get enough. I wanted to know every angle of coaching.

Investing in myself and my future was something I didn’t take lightly, and yet I knew deep within it was the answer. My intuition guided me along the way and brought me a sense of peace. And now, that is what I focus on doing with my clients in all areas of their lives; listening to their own inner guidance that has been there all along.

My process, experience, and expertise allow us to cut through the noise that is getting in the way. When we do this, clarity is sure to follow. We will prepare you for what’s ahead. All while remaining accountable, focused and unstuck. By getting specific on your career goals, we will effectively and efficiently design your dream career strategy.

What clients are saying about Jen…

There are several tools and resources to use when you want to better understand your personality, motivations, and interests. So many that determining the right tools to achieve the outcome that you specifically are looking for is near impossible and certainly overwhelming. Not only does Jen know the tools available, but she also knows what to use and when to use them for her clients. She masterfully determines what you need even if you are not quite sure yourself… even more, Jen has wonderful personal experience in business and life and is a student of her craft and clients. The results I have achieved working with Jen are beyond what I expected. She holds me accountable and knows when I need a softer approach. I wish I had started working with her years ago and highly recommend her services to my friends and family. She is a gem!

Working with Jen for the past six months has literally been life-changing. She is a great coach who provides you with a wealth of tools and assessments to first help you figure out who you are and where you’re at. Then she works with you to figure out where you want to go and how to get there. And the best part is that you feel like you’re talking to a good friend that really cares about you and what you need to succeed. I would 100% recommend Jen to anyone looking to work with an incredible coach.

Before starting Jen’s program, I was at a point in my career where I didn’t feel fulfilled at work and lacked energy. In our initial call, Jen made me feel so comfortable and helped me start to reframe my thinking. I realized I would need to get out of my comfort zone and try something new to see progress in my career, so I signed up for her program. As someone who loves a plan, I was also excited to work with her knowing she would guide me through a process that could be tailored to my goals. Jen has validated so many thoughts and feelings for me in this process and helped me look at aspects of my career and life differently. With her support and awareness journaling, I’ve gained so much more energy and confidence in my life and career. One of the best things about working with Jen is the accountability she provides. At the end of each session, we set goals to complete by the next session. This has helped me procrastinate less, stay on track with the process, and feel accomplished with the progress I’m making. I would definitely recommend working with Jen for career coaching. She’s provided amazing guidance for job searching, helped me expand my network, and also gave me the tools to increase my self-awareness and gain confidence and energy.

When I found Jen, I was going through a time when I felt very stuck in my work atmosphere. I struggled to find other like-minded people who had viewpoints or experiences similar to mine. I would bring a perspective that wasn’t the same as the leadership, and felt shut down, which led me to feel like I was on an island. And my personal life was being impacted by needing to care for a sick parent. Once I took the time to slow down and dissect what was happening with me internally, I could feel a shift. Determining where my thoughts and feelings were coming from helped me understand what to do next. And that shifted my energy into a more productive state. Jen helped me connect my passion with work, and I have felt an increase in energy and inspiration! Overall, I feel better. I can observe and feel what makes my energy shift, and I can become more productive. I have a goal, and by slowing down and watching the things that I think are important to me, I will be able to identify what type of company I would like to be a part of next. This program has also helped me be a better leader, a better manager, and a better teammate because I have been working on moving from lower energies to higher energy fields. I would recommend Jen! This process has been so helpful, and I am learning new things about myself every week.

I started working with Jen during the global pandemic. I knew there were things I was unhappy with, but the pandemic magnified them tenfold. Jen helped validate that I was doing too much, and that was causing a lot of unhappiness. She helped validate that all the feelings I was having were typical of my situation. She gave me the tools I needed to make some tough decisions and helped me realize I had way more strength to make those decisions than I ever realized. I have been able to use those tools in my day-to-day life to help me continue my journey.

Jen is an amazing coach! When I started working with her, I knew I needed a change, but I struggled to figure out my next steps. Through her thoughtful questioning and observations, I was able to identify things that I wanted to change and the direction I wanted to take in my career. I have now stepped into my new career, and I’m far more fulfilled. I’ve found the right fit for me, thanks to Jen and her compassionate coaching.
