Career Coaching Testimonials

Here's what a brand new career client says...

"I attended one of Jennifer's classes through PCC and was very motivated to start my job search from just a short time listening and interacting in class. I found that I needed the continued motivation to keep me accountable on a weekly basis so I contacted her about becoming my one on one career coach. We have worked together for only a couple weeks now but her exercises and our once a week half hour phone conversations have really got me thinking about finding a job in a whole new way. Jennifer has encouraged me to look at the talents, interests, preferences and knowledge I already have and think about which kind of job would fit my lifestyle not how I'm going to fit myself into a specific job. It's an exploration of myself on a whole new level. It is definitely a process, but the hard work I'm putting in now will stay with me forever and will be what will guide me to a job that satisfies me personally, socially, educationally and financially."

Here's what a mid-process career client says...

"Working through this process with Jen has been amazing.  The 'homework' consists of well thought out exercises that make you explore parts of yourself that you knew were there, but many not have given enough recognition or credit to (or had tried to ignore!).  These introspective exercises, combined with the weekly coaching calls to add insight and inspiration, work together to create a process that's challenging, exciting, and well worth the time and hard work.  Jen's infectious personality and relentless positive attitude have helped keep me motivated and focused, even when work and life threatened to derail my progress.  She is extremely adept at picking up on the subtle things you say or do and finding nuggets of wisdom you may have overlooked.  I am thrilled to have Jen on my side as I navigate and discover my ideal work and life!"

Here's what a career client says who has completed the process....

"Jen is an exceptional, supportive and inspirational coach. After working with her, I achieved a sense of clarity about how I want to spend my life's energy. She asks pivotal questions that reframe your point of view and help you believe you can achieve your dreams. Thank you, Jen, for listening and lighting a fire in me!"

Life Coaching Testimonials

"Jen has been my coach for 7 years now - long distance...I am amazed by her ability to continually evolve with me, to honor and support my emotional and spiritual growth with her gentle and intuitive guidance. She relates clearly and in such non-judgmental ways that create a self-accepting and compassionate space for the client to move forward. Her lightness shows the way."

Ivy Ning, Founder of PeoplePlus Consulting, Hong Kong


"I have been working with Jen as my life coach for 8 years!  I am sure I must be her "oldest" client!  I initially hired Jen as my mentor coach when I began my coaching career.  Her energy and passion came buzzing through the wires of the teleclass she was leading for Coach U.  She was a "must have" for me! After the initial period of helping me become the best coach to my clients, Jen became an ongoing resource to me as my personal life coach.  I credit Jen with being the influence that opened me up to the energy of the Universe, and to the power each of us has to line up with it, in order to manifest our desires. For this, I am beyond grateful!  I value Jen's ever present connection to her intuition, her ability to hear beyond what is said, and to ask questions that spark new ways of thinking.  The opportunity to "play" with Jen to clarify what it is I truly want, and identify actions and alignments to achieve it is truly a gift."

"I went through Coach U 7+ years ago without a coach.  While I kept looking, I could not find one that I felt could "dance" with me to my crazy off-beat rhythms.  And boy am I glad I waited.  Jen has been a perfect partner and coach for my various unpredictable moves.  I take on a lot of varied responsibilities and activities in life, and have always marched to a different drummer.  Jen has been a great complement to keeping me attuned to my instincts and reminding me of the perfectness of the present, while I tend to plan my every move ahead.  She laughs and gets me to laugh, when I take my life and myself too seriously. Jen has been more than a coach, she has been a great companion through the last 5 years of my life.  We end each session with an insight, observation, question or intuitive thought from Jen to me.  And they have always been on the money!!  I was fortunate to have met Thomas Leonard, been on teleclasses with him, and got coaching feedback directly from him.  I would put Jen way up there with Thomas for her levels of insightfulness and instinctive feel for accessing a coaching situation and then knowing when to pull back and when to step in, gently.  And yes, she sure can dance to the crazy rhythms of my life!"

Mentor Coaching Testimonials

"Jennifer is an awesome coach and an awesome teacher. I first encountered her in one of my classes at Coach U, and the experience was so good that I sought her out as my mentor coach. I stay with her because she has the uncanny ability of poking around in whatever is challenging me and asking the perfect question to get me up and running again. Want great coaching? Jen's the one and only!"

Kent M. Blumberg, ACC http://www.kentblumberg.com

 "Working with Jen has been a true inspiration for me as both a developing coach and a developing human being.  I chose Jen as my mentor coach because I felt an immediate connection with her in our first conversation.  She has a light, playful manner that nurtures me.  And at the same time, she doesn't hesitate to use her laser coaching questions to cut right to the core of the matter.  As Jen coaches me, I'm not only getting great coaching for whatever issues are at hand, but I'm also able to hear how she coaches me, so I can absorb her techniques and call upon them when coaching my own clients.  Every week I grow a little closer to my Higher Self thanks, in part, to Jen's unconditional support and her ability to keep me on track.  She has been a true partner in the creation of this amazing life I'm now living."

 "Jennifer is an awesome mentor coach!  She is very intuitive asking challenging and insightful questions that help you explore and move forward.  What I like most about her is that she models unconditional love and acceptance.  She played a key role in my successful completion of the ICF ACC certification, arranging practice sessions and providing written and verbal feedback on use of the core competencies."
