What Leaders Say About Jess
"Jess has not only shown great ability to understand my challenges and weaknesses, but has also helped me identify areas for improvement and, above all, inspired me to explore new ways of approaching conversations with the team and managing them."

About Jess
Jess is a perceptive and grounded coach, helping her clients cut through the complex and complicated to find simple solutions and practical insights. Jess' approach is both compassionate and direct - she holds you accountable to your goals while leaving plenty of room to be a human.
She loves working with leaders who are amidst transitions - whether landing a new role, striving for a lofty goal, or navigating organizational change. She loves working with anyone who has an openness to learn and a desire to grow.
Before becoming an ICF Certified Professional Coach, Jess spent more than a decade in high end hospitality as an international travel guide. Here she developed key skills that she uses today as a coach - the ability to make people feel at ease in any scenario, the ability to support people through uncertainty and fast-paced change, and the ability to guide people beyond their comfort zones to tackle challenges that enliven them.
Beyond her time in adventure travel, Jess spent years as a corporate Human Resources Business Partner, developing thriving company cultures, leading employee leadership training and implementing equity and inclusion programs.
Jess has coached hundreds of high-performers - from CEOs and founders to individual contributors - in industries such as technology, manufacturing, sales, travel, medical, marketing and design.
With a diverse background of both life and professional experience and a knack for navigating change, Jess has the ability to relate to her clients exactly where they are to guide them to exactly where they want to go - while having a little fun in the process!
Jess's Player Card
I'm Committed To
Helping people live true to themselves and their values so they can pursue their version of success.
What Holds Me Back
Overthinking
Focusing on what might go wrong vs. what can go right
Getting caught in perfectionism
Not taking enough breaks
I Work Best When
There is clear, open and trusting communication
I understand the big picture and our desired “destination”
There is space for reflection and creativity
I have engaging conversations that generate ideas and energy
My Favorite Quote
"Find who you are, and do it on purpose."

5 Words To Describe Me
Thoughtful, dedicated, connecting, playful, adventurous
Do's And Don'ts
Do be up front - If you feel it or think it, say it!
Don’t hold back; Don’t filter yourself
Do assume best intentions
Do be authentic and share your real self
Do be open to new ideas
My Ideal Day Involves
The outdoors and being active in nature, some down time to read, reflect, or just “be”, accompanied by nourishing quality time with close friends or family.
What Makes Me Smile
A good joke, a good song, and catching a candid moment of someone being silly or sweet when they think no one is looking.
