ABOUT JENNIFER LEIGH

Hello, I’m Jennifer

My work is shaped by more than 20 years in human resources and organizational development leadership roles across Fortune 200 organizations within the healthcare management, medical devices, and hospitality industries.

Throughout my career, I’ve designed and led leadership development programs, organizational development strategies, executive coaching initiatives, and customized learning experiences that support engagement, retention, and sustainable performance. This includes work within large, complex environments where leadership effectiveness directly impacts culture and results.

I’ve worked closely with new and emerging managers as well as senior leaders, supporting them through large-scale change initiatives, complexity, decision-making, and performance.

I bring a strong instructional design lens to everything I create. Coaching, workshops, and leadership programs are intentionally structured, practical, and designed for real-world application. The goal is meaningful behavior change over time, not just insight in the moment.

Beyond my professional work, my perspective has also been shaped by navigating significant life transitions. Like many people I work with, I understand firsthand how disruptive change can be, whether planned or unplanned, and how much courage, resilience, and self-leadership it takes to rebuild what comes next. That perspective continues to shape the way I support individuals and organizations today.

"Every person is a leader; of themselves, their choices, and the impact they make."

When I’m not coaching, you can find me soaking in the calm of the ocean, finding inspiration in nature, or creating space - both literally and metaphorically - for what matters most.
