COACHING • LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT • WORKSHOPS

MAKE SENSE OF CHANGE.

RESPOND WITH INTENTION.

I help thoughtful, capable people and organizations understand what is happening beneath the surface, examine what no longer fits, and choose what comes next with greater self-trust.

Whether you are leading a team or navigating your own personal chapter of transition, together, we’ll identify the hidden behaviors, organizational dynamics and silent barriers so that you can step into your chapter with confidence.

THE IN-BETWEEN

Sometimes the change is obvious.

Sometimes it quietly accumulates.

You may be rebuilding after something significant has changed. Or, you may still be getting everything done and managing what needs your attention. At the same time, you may recognize that the way you have been living or working is not sustainable or simply no longer fits who you are now.

This is often where my work begins.


You keep circling the same decision.

Something you worked toward, no longer feels important.

You are capable, but the way you have been operating is costing you too much.


WHY WORK WITH ME

THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED.

PERSONALLY DELIVERED.

Each engagement is shaped around the person, team, and context in front of me. I bring the same depth of preparation, care, and follow-through to every client.

My work brings together more than 25 years across human resources, organizational development, leadership, learning design, and coaching. I listen closely, notice patterns, connect ideas, and translate complexity into something people can actually use.

Coaching should change more than the conversation.

TOOLS FOR THE WORK BETWEEN SESSIONS

Long before I had language for this work, I was fascinated by how people learn - what helps an idea click, what makes it useful, and what allows it to last. That curiosity became a 25-year professional practice: first creating tools for new hires and onboarding, and later designing leadership-development programs, learning curricula, and practical resources used across organizations.

Today, I bring that same organizational-development and instructional-design lens to coaching, leadership development, workshops, and every tool I create. Depending on the person, challenge, and context, I may adapt an existing framework or create a visual model, reflection guide, script, structured practice, or developmental resource around what we are exploring.

Each resource is selected or designed with intention to make insight usable, support practice in real life, and give clients something meaningful to return to between sessions and as new situations arise.

Thoughtfully Designed Coaching Tools and Methodology

THE PHILOSOPHY BENEATH THE WORK

Awareness leads to choice. Choice sustains resilience.

AIR is the through line across every coaching engagement. It stands for the three pillars of sustainable growth: Awareness, Intention, and Resilience.


Awareness

See what is happening beneath the surface: the patterns, assumptions, pressures, and automatic responses shaping your experience and consuming your energy.


Intention

Use that understanding to make conscious choices that reflect your values, priorities, current circumstances, and who you are today.


Resilience

Build the capacity to adapt, learn, and grow so you can navigate challenges, sustain your well-being, and continue moving forward without abandoning yourself in the process.


The Philosophy Behind My Work

LASTING CHANGE BEGINS WITH UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS REALLY DRIVING THE CHALLENGE.

What looks like a time-management problem may have very little to do with time. It may be driven by competing priorities, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, or more responsibility than one person can reasonably carry. A new system may help temporarily, but unless we understand what is creating the pattern, the same challenge often returns.

My work is designed to get to the heart of what is happening. Together, we peel back the layers, recognize the patterns beneath the immediate challenge, and clarify what truly needs to change. Once we understand the deeper issue, we can choose tools and actions that address it meaningfully rather than continuing to manage the symptoms.

This is the progression behind Awareness. Intention. Resilience. Awareness reveals the pattern. Intention helps us choose how to respond. Resilience gives us the capacity to practice and sustain that choice in real life.

This perspective has been shaped by more than 25 years of experience in Fortune 500 organizations across organizational development, human resources, learning design, and leadership, as well as by my own experiences navigating disruption and reinvention.

Every engagement is highly individualized. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and recognize connections that can be difficult to see when you are in the middle of them. I pair research-backed tools with practical experience to help individuals, leaders, and teams turn greater understanding into meaningful, sustainable change.

LEARN MORE ABOUT MY BACKGROUND

  • I reached out to Jennifer because I really needed targeted ADHD support for my focus, productivity, and time management goals. During our time together, she introduced a variety of different frameworks and tools for managing my time, setting boundaries, and staying distraction-free while working from home. Because I naturally love to help people and tend to put others before myself, learning these tools has been life-changing for reducing my daily work stress. The custom developmental guide she provided has become an indispensable tool that I keep on my desk and reference constantly.

  • I have worked with Jennifer for over a year now. She is exceptional at what she does. She provides such a warm and approachable space for you to share your experience. She always listens without judgement, uses her intuition to provide further insights and help you gain clarity on your experience. You walk away feeling empowered and clear on your next steps. She deeply cares about your well being and growth. I know she is always rooting for me inside and outside of our sessions.

    If you are considering working with Jennifer, please do! She is a professional who deeply cares and offers a safe space to work through your experience without judgement. I always look forward to our time together.

  • Highlights from our partnership with Jennifer included a fully customized leadership training program to fit the current and future needs of our team.  She was able to create a common language for all to understand.  Her professionalism, knowledge and approach helped the team interact and collaborate more effectively. I highly recommend Jennifer for your company’s group and individual growth.  It’s a positive investment in overall performance.

     - RJ, General Manager, New York City

  • Working with Jennifer was so refreshing. Seeing myself through the Energy Leadership Index assessment and the color profile helped me discover so much more about myself and my leadership style. After years of doubting myself and my unique traits, Jennifer helped develop my leadership skills as well as gain confidence as a new leader with more self-acceptance and appreciation for what makes me standout. The group exercises during the training allowed our team to work much more in tune with one another, helping us navigate each other's traits without taking things personally. I highly recommend teams and individuals dive into this program to truly see the results!

  • Jennifer helped us navigate several leadership changes with a customized program that addressed challenges with team cohesion. She bridged the gap between senior leaders and newer managers, creating a common language that enhanced communication and collaboration. Her facilitation style is so engaging and interactive. The group activities helped the team better understand each other’s management styles and work more effectively together. The results were so impactful we brought Jennifer back for executive coaching for our high potential managers. The positive feedback and noticeable improvements in performance and communication have made a lasting difference. I highly recommend Jennifer for any team looking to grow - it’s truly been a valuable investment.
