This is my story
I didn’t arrive here through a straight line. I built my career inside some of the most demanding environments—advising Fortune 500 leaders, navigating enterprise-level strategic change, operating at the center of high-stakes decisions. On paper, it worked. But over time, I started to see the cost up close—the quiet burnout, the isolation, the pressure to perform without space to think, feel, or question. I recognized it because I had lived it. That realization became a pivot point: I stopped focusing only on how leaders perform and became deeply committed to how they experience their leadership.
That shift took me beyond traditional leadership development into deeper work—Gestalt, mindfulness, somatics, systems thinking, and transpersonal psychology. Not as an escape from the business world, but as a way to meet it more honestly. I began integrating these disciplines with my strategic background, working with leaders not just on what they do, but on how they relate—to themselves, to power, to uncertainty, and to the systems they lead. The work became less about fixing problems and more about increasing capacity: to see clearly, to choose intentionally, and to lead without losing themselves in the process.
The clients who find me are often at an inflection point. From the outside, they’re successful—VPs, SVPs, C-suite leaders carrying significant scope and responsibility. But internally, something is shifting. What used to work no longer does. They’re questioning how they lead, what it’s costing them, and what’s next. They don’t need more advice or surface-level coaching. They need a space where they can think clearly, be challenged directly, and engage the deeper patterns shaping their leadership. That’s where we work—at the level where real change actually happens.
I Serve:
- Senior executives — VPs, SVPs, and C-suite leaders — in Fortune 500, global, and private equity-backed organizations
- Leaders newly appointed to a senior role who need to establish credibility and make impact fast
- Executives leading enterprise transformation who need to bring their organizations with them
- High performers who have plateaued and sense their current leadership style has reached its limit
- Leaders preparing for the next level who need to close the gap between where they are and what’s required
- Executives navigating political complexity at the top — and the isolation that comes with it
- Leaders at a crossroads — burnt out, questioning their direction, and ready to reconnect to what matters
My Coaching Approach
My work sits at the intersection of executive coaching, strategic advisory, and whole-human development. I partner with senior leaders navigating complexity, transition, and sustained pressure—often at moments when performance alone is no longer enough. Drawing on 25+ years advising Fortune 500 executives, combined with deep training in Gestalt, mindfulness, somatics, and systems thinking, I help leaders see what’s actually driving their behavior, decision-making, and impact. This is not surface-level coaching. It’s precise, honest work that strengthens clarity, expands capacity, and shifts how leaders relate to themselves, their teams, and the systems they lead.
I have worked with senior executives across industries, as well as intact leadership teams responsible for enterprise-wide execution. Whether supporting an individual at an inflection point or guiding a team through alignment and change, my role is to cut through noise, surface what matters, and translate insight into grounded, actionable leadership. The result is not just better performance—it’s leadership that is more deliberate, more sustainable, and far more effective in the environments these leaders actually operate in.
Testimonials
“I worked with Jennifer at a time when I was in the midst of a big life change. I loved that our time wasn’t spent on goals and outcomes, and instead, on purpose and power. She’s not afraid to go deep, which created a space for me to be open to greater self awareness and understanding. The beauty of knowing my purpose is that what may look like “starting over” from the outside, feels like I’ve taken a giant leap forward on the inside. Thank you, Jennifer!” – Leslie, Technology Leader
“Jennifer holds space for her clients to name and tackle the hard things – the things that maybe we are not willing to admit or ready to own. Her greatest superpower is her unrelenting belief that her clients can make the changes they envision in their own lives. She asks the right questions at the right moments. Jennifer will never tell you what to do – but will create the space for you to choose the path, to choose the next step, and to move in the direction of your dreams. Jennifer has been a consistent support, go-to-person, and all-around cheerleader for me for many years. I am grateful to her for helping me to see what is possible and bring my own dreams to fruition. – Anne, Non-profit Executive
“Coaching with Jennifer allowed me to develop tools to support my role now and into the future. Lastly, it built my confidence by guiding me to be more introspective and find my own path to lead with intent and mindful. I enjoyed my experience immensely and would definitely recommend leaders or professionals leaders to seek Jennifer for support on their leadership path. – Enrique, Procurement Executive
“Working in a fast paced environment, conversations with Jennifer have prompted personal growth tailored to specific goals as I transitioned into a new leadership position. Conversations were impactful and intentional in gaining skills to enhance our business and team interactions. It was great to have a partner like Jennifer!” – Jeff, General Manager, Hospitality
When I began working with Jennifer, I was looking to refine my leadership approach and reconnect with the strengths that would serve me best during a period filled with transitions. I had the experience, but wanted greater clarity around how to lead with more intention and balance.What surprised me was how quickly the right insights surfaced once I had the space and support to explore them. Jennifer helped me distinguish which strengths had carried me through earlier roles, and which ones I was ready to amplify moving forward. Her coaching helped me rebalance how I lead and step more fully into untapped potential. Jennifer’s approach is both supportive and insightful. She asked thoughtful questions that encouraged me to step back, explore challenges from multiple angles, and move forward in ways that felt both strategic and authentic.
Through our work, I gained renewed clarity, confidence, and a deeper connection to what motivates me. I’d recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking a coach who brings skill, heart, and genuine partnership to the work. – Sally, Public Sector Executive
