Get to know ME

Hi, I’m Jen!

After twenty years of working in professional and leadership positions in investment banking, marketing, non-profit fundraising, and yoga, I’ve realized that people are my passion.

I want people to feel happy, heard and whole. To have a better life; for themselves, their families, their teams and their organizations.

Ten years ago I was introduced to a coaching framework, Lightyear Leadership, that has helped me live a life that is closer to who I am, quirks and all. I became a Lightyear Certified Coach to share with you the same tools that make such a profound difference to me.

I use these tools, along with the art of the question and my insatiable curiosity of people, to spark personal transformation. I am here to remind you that YOU matter. I can’t wait to hear your story.

“Jen is the BEST listener and asks really great questions that make you think about your future and how you want it to be.  She is positive and gives you comfort in YOU.”

 My values

  • GENEROSITY

    See and uncover the best, most generous version of people and life will be that much more beautiful.

  • IMPACT

    Make an impact in every conversation, relationship, and collaboration. From meaningful eye contact with the Trader Joe’s check-out person to intimate and professional relationships.

  • LEADERSHIP

    Be the leader of your own life and support others to become their own self-leader.

  • HEART

    Lead with a big heart, full of intuition and voracious curiosity - whether about yourself or others.

ABOUT ME

People are my passion and building great relationships is the heart and soul of what I do.  I believe when our relationships are good life is good. I work with people to live happy, integrated, whole lives with their partners, families, teams, and organizations. I believe in the work I share and I wake up every day to live the work I lead.  I'm a heartfelt listener, a champion of possibility and I have a superpower for asking just the right questions.

I've spent 20+ years in professional and leadership positions from the trading floor of an investment bank to the hardwood floor of a yoga studio and I'm here now to share the communication, leadership, and strategies I've used for myself and with teams to build amazing relationships that make life great. I'm certified in the profoundly impactful leadership methodology, Lightyear Leadership, and use this work as the foundation of the coaching and consulting work I do.

I live in Charlotte, NC with my husband, our two teenage soccer-loving boys, and a very bouncy doodle pup. When I'm not supporting people and organizations, I'm usually on the sidelines of a soccer field cheering for my kids.  I believe pizza is the greatest joy in life.  I'm wildly curious about people, building community, and doing it in a real down-to-earth joyful way. I see the best in people and believe deep meaningful connection is better than coffee and green juice, though I love them both. I love to laugh and find FUN in everything I do.
