With over 25 years in the corporate landscape, Jen noticed a common theme: the leaders she was working with were feeling uncertain, and weren’t sure where to start to take control of thier own success. in 2015, Jen decided to train as a coach through the International Coaching Federation, with a focus on Leadership and Team Development.
Each client comes with their own individual goals and areas they want to improve. Jen partners with each person, team or company to get clear on what they really want, and what might be standing in their way. She works with her clients to uncover areas of potential, limiting beliefs and common behaviours that may be taking them off course.
Jen graduated from University of Waterloo with a BA in Sociology and Legal Studies and recently completed Executive Leadership Online with Rotman School of Business. She trained in 2016 with the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching, has her ACC.
Jen lives in Burlington, Ontario Canada and has clients across various industries in Canada, UK, New Zealand and USA.
