About Me
You have been successful in your career, but you've paid a price in well-being. You question whether you are living to your fullest potential. You want to make a stronger impact in your work and in life. You are ready for something more. I help successful professionals become extraordinary leaders who are fulfilled, productive, and equipped to make an impact for good.
I am an ICF Certified Coach (PCC) with 25+ years leadership experience helping individuals and organizations navigate change and grow. I help leaders like you elevate their influence, pursue their “what’s next," and flourish. Whether you are looking to ignite your inner leader for the first time, or level up your leadership to prepare for your next role, or you are ready to create your leadership legacy and prepare to pursue new passions, I am ready to be your thought partner as you discover, work toward and accomplish your goals.
I am an accomplished leader at the Vice President (VP) level, and hold specialty certifications in personal and executive coaching and in wellness and well-being coaching. This makes me uniquely qualified to meet your need as a working professional navigating uncertain, complex, and ambiguous times.
I provide individual coaching, group coaching, and custom facilitated experiences for teams and groups. My approach to coaching is informed by positive psychology and applied behavioral science.
My job as your coach is to do 3 key things:
1: Ask powerful questions to help you think deeply about what's on your mind.
2: Share a process, structure, and tools by which you can explore possibilities, practice new behaviors, and take safe risks.
3: Provide ongoing support and accountability to shine a spotlight on the things you care most about.
I've coached individuals around the globe in: tech, software/mobile app, accounting/finance/banking, sales, social media, government, management consulting, commercial & civil engineering & construction, biotech, healthcare, and more.

I sought a coach to help me navigate my career transition and identify any additional skills I might need. I also wanted someone highly organized and easy to connect with. Jennifer is all that and more! Her senior management experience allows her to handle complex situations and pinpoint what's truly important. Reflecting on my journey, I've most appreciated her thought-provoking questions, leading to numerous Aha moments for my growth.

I had the opportunity to work with Jen in a small group coaching cohort as well as 1:1 and learned so much about myself! Jen creates so much space for her clients in the way in which she shows up to coaching with such a calm and nonjudgmental presence. The space I found for myself in coaching with Jen prompted a lot of work around how to create space for myself in my day. I highly recommend working with Jen!
E Robertson
Working with Jen for the second half of 2023 proved invaluable to me and my professional and personal growth. Pretty soon, from our first sessions and Jen's insights, it became clear to me that there was deeper work I may want to focus on before making some of the surface-level changes I inititally thought would bring me the satisfaction I was after. As a result, I am calmer, kinder to myself and more focused. I'd recommend Jen to many people, particularly those in leadership and/or seeking to make a change in their professional career.

Jennifer is a very detail-oriented and thoughtful coach. I started working with her because I was looking to make a career shift following a negative past experience, and I was looking for help in finding career options that would be a better fit for my skill set. Jennifer was very helpful in helping me navigate my career exploration process, and the combination of the insightful questions she asked me and the practical career search strategies she provided me with helped me to work more efficiently in my job search process.

Jen is an inspirational coach. She has a contagious sense of curiosity, and a strong, direct coaching style. She pushed me to think creatively, listen objectively, and get deeper so that I could go further!
Tracy Oulman
I cannot overstate Jennifer's impact on me and my career. Her coaching helped me identify self-limiting behaviors nestled deep in my blind spots, and she armed me with tactics to address them. Since my work with Jennifer, I've appreciably improved my ability to lead with influence and courage, and to find gratitude in every moment. If you have the opportunity to work with Jennifer as your coach, I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Stephen Miranda
Jennifer is a masterful coach. She is intuitive and empathetic and is able to ask powerful questions to move her clients forward. She has provided me excellent guidance through her coaching. While she lets me do the work, her questions and comments take me deeper than I would have gotten to on my own. I highly recommend Jennifer. You will not be disappointed. Get ready to achieve your goals and dreams!

Jennifer met with me to discuss improving my management approach for a group of employees that are my direct reports. She was able to help me identify what "improvement" would mean and also set some targeted methods that might help me move in that direction. I appreciate her calm and supportive demeanor and tactical suggestions. I feel like the session was productive and helpful, a good balance between soft skills and firm actions, which is suited to my desired management style. I would highly recommend Jennifer as a coach!
