What clients are saying...
“Before working with Jess, I was objectively successful from the outside but struggling with self-doubt and anxiety. Through our work together, Jess helped me explore my strengths, values, blind spots, and career goals with humor, accountability, and non-judgment. Now, I’m more confident and excited at work. I’ve been able to significantly reduce my overall anxiety and am now genuinely feeling successful. Physically and mentally, I’m the healthiest I’ve been in almost 15 years. Jess’ structured coaching process has been incredibly valuable, and I’d recommend her to any leader seeking greater success and confidence while maintaining a healthy state of mind.”
Brian KatzmanChief Marketing Officer at Ketryx“My experience with Jess was absolutely life changing from a professional perspective.
She was able to arm me with the tools that I need to be successful. The best thing about Jess is that she allowed me to unpack these strategies on my own, empowering me to continue to do so moving forward. Her patience and empathy are unparalleled, but her radical candor is what makes her truly special. I would recommend Jess in a heartbeat (and already have)!”

“Working with Jess has helped me lead with greater clarity and focus. I’ve learned to prioritize what I can control, set boundaries, and operate with the right mindset.

This shift has allowed me to show up more strategically, confidently, and measured.”
