Helping individuals and teams overcome obstacles through the power of human connection.
I am an expert on change.
For a long time, I thought the only way to survive change was to crawl through the muck on your own. But I’ve since learned the real key to success comes in seeking out the support of people around you.
In my former career as a health care attorney at Fortune 25+ companies, I’ve persevered through corporate mergers, countless reorganizations, and a complete industry overhaul. On the personal front, I know what it feels like when life brings you to your knees (ask me about it sometime).
I know the toll that change takes on individuals. I’ve seen first-hand how change affects relationships at home and at work, causes breakdowns in company culture, and negatively impacts productivity. When individuals and businesses deflect change, it gets ugly.
Through these experiences, I saw how the power of human connection can help individuals and teams grow and overcome challenges. And I understand the importance of having support when navigating change.
Now, with (re)connect, I create a safe space for individuals and teams to build trust, meaningfully (re)connect, and explore the changes and transitions they’re facing at home or at work.
My natural ability to develop honest, transparent, and trustworthy relationships fuels me. Let’s roll up our sleeves together and get sh*t done.
Does this sound like you?
If you’re a leader, perhaps you and your team are:
Struggling with change.
Experiencing conflict at work.
Feeling burnt out.
Perhaps you’re an individual facing a major transition at home or at work. Or maybe you’re feeling stuck and directionless.
Good news! I’m here to help.
I’ll be your partner as you navigate the change you’re facing. With my support, we’ll explore your challenge, gain trust, build connection and resilience, and define your plan to survive your change with confidence.
Sounds pretty good, right?

“[Jen] helped me grow as a manager and lawyer, highlighted my opportunities without being overly critical, and made me smile through a rather difficult time.”

Testimonial #3
I started coaching with Jen after feeling mired and immobile in my every-day work-life, with no strong sense of direction, for more than a year. The experience proved to be energizing - she's an incredibly attentive and active listener, asking questions that helped me forge a better understanding of where I'm at now, what work resonates, and which feelings I ought to pay more attention to. She helped me get to a 'what's next' that really feels aligned with my values and priorities. Her coaching helped me reach the clarity and confidence I needed to take that step into change - and I'm thrilled that I did. She's an exceptional coach and communicator - time very well spent!

Jen is a remarkable communicator, invested listener and incredible problem solver. She provided me with effective tools and strategies to foster a “win-win” work environment which cultivated growth and harmony. The information I received working with Jen for the betterment of my career was so worth the investment and continues to pay me back 100 fold.
