Jessica has been a tremendous resource for me as I navigate increasing responsibilities within my corporation and develop my own team. Jessica is an excellent listener, able to identify challenges from conversational undertones, and bring them into the spotlight to be directly addressed. Through Jessica's engagement, I was able to see how taking on others' work and avoiding conflict was overcompensating for my own insecurities, and adversely impacting me and my team.

I began working with Jessica a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic, when my anxiety was at an all-time high and my interactions with colleagues, who were all struggling to stay sane in their own ways, began to suffer. The in-house lawyer has their work cut out for them on their best days, needing to build and maintain trust and open communication with colleagues in order to be successful, and that work became even more difficult once we all started working remotely and retreating into our own world of worry and uncertainty. Jessica’s guidance helped me manage my anxiety by leaning deeper into my relationship with colleagues and reports, becoming a better listener, and reimagining my role as a mentor and role model rather than simply someone who executes on projects and delivers results.

“I came to Jessica at a time when I was struggling to deal with a manager who I found to be difficult, unreasonable and, at times, capricious.  Over time, after working with Jessica, I came to realize that I was leaving certain of my positive attributes at the door when I arrived for work every morning.  I wasn't bringing my "full self" to the office and, as a result, was not adding all of the value that I was capable of adding in my day to day interactions with this manager and in my work.   After making a few changes in how I conducted myself in the office with this in mind, my relationship with this manager improved, as did the impact I was able to make at work.

In our sessions together, Jessica demonstrated a real gift for listening to what I had to say and then distilling the information she heard and relaying it back to me in a form that was just as accurate, but from an angle I hadn't previously considered.  She's patient, thoughtful, empathetic, funny and kind.  I came to career coaching as a vocal skeptic.  Jessica converted me into a believer. “

"Jessica is a dynamic and engaging coach who won't let you hide behind excuses because she truly wants you to step-up and own your best-self. At a personal transition point, her quick wit, smarts and warm demeanor helped me make a change that was both challenging and transformational.”

“Jessica has been pushing me to do the hard work of being a better professional and valuing the skills I bring to the table.  And I have been growing by leaps and bounds. After a year of resisting formalizing our relationship, I finally decided to book a standing weekly meeting with Jessica . . . when I realized that I was so afraid of speaking up for myself and being misinterpreted that I wasn’t speaking at all.  It’s the best decision I have made for my career in a while.  I created a list of all the things that I wanted to talk to Jess about.  This relationship allows me to problem solve through issues, set goals and priorities, and take ownership of my progress.  Jess provides feedback that’s oriented towards moving the ball forward and being effective.  Sometimes, it’s not what I want to hear.  I talk to Jess about issues that are difficult to speak honestly about with family, friends, peers, and supervisors.  All of those relationships are governed by other factors that can make it difficult to figure out how to move the ball forward and to be authentic in myself.  Jess has been great about role playing the difficult conversations that need to happen, giving me follow-up action steps, and checking in on progress along the way.”
