“Jennifer’s coaching has helped me so much as a new supervisor and a team member. The supervisor team coaching we have received has helped our team build a communication bridge between us. We are better communicators now because of this, we are aligned and on the same page. I know our teams see it, too; they can tell we have good communication between our units, and they feel they are being heard. Our teams can tell they are being led by good leaders.”

Christina
Healthplan Supervisor

As a new Director with new manager hires, our team needed a leadership development coach who could help us identify our growth areas, provide a safe space to practice the new skills and give us real-time feedback we could use immediately. Jennifer really listens and is very present, making the experience about what is happening in the room and not an academic exercise. The trust model Jennifer introduced to us is a big thing. I’ve seen significant leadership growth across the team in a relatively short period of time. We have less drama and fewer communication issues. We are more interactive, more engaging, more trusting and more confident. We are better.

Jennifer helped our leadership team bridge a communication gap we didn’t even know was there. She gave us a perspective outside of ourselves. It is so valuable to be able to see yourself in the context of the team. Sometimes you think you have more emotional intelligence than you do. Thankfully Jennifer’s toolbox provided us with opportunities to self-reflect and make the changes we needed to make. We now work through our day-to-day problems in more constructive ways. We are much more comfortable with one another. We give each other direct feedback and treat one another as the colleagues we are, working together for common goals. Everything is less stressful.

I admit, I was skeptical about working with a leadership development coach at first. As a self-motivated person, I have always identified and pursued my career goals. Jennifer homed in on my strengths as a manager and we focused on learning from my past experience – applying insights on what not to do while managing up and with my team.

Jennifer has so many different resources, and as a result of working with her, I see myself more clearly in the team context. If there is a conflict that requires my attention, I examine how best to handle the situation using tools Jennifer has provided. Jennifer helped me identify my daily objective in all of my work relationships – clarity – which leads to productive action.

Jennifer has been a colleague and associate of mine since we met in 2019. She is immediately likeable, genuine and interested in everything and everyone. Jennifer is a born coach with a deep understanding of the process as well as a love of the field.

Jennifer’s clients show her real skill with them. She works hard to expand her learning. Despite tightening budgets, Jennifer handles the “permanent white water” of organizational life really well. Her client contracts are the first ones to be renewed!
