Stop being “team 85%” & focusing on finishing things I set out to do
Working with Jennifer is great. Her energy is inspiring and she has a way of making me believe in myself through her belief in me. She is insightful and understands how to get goals accomplished. Really a joy to work with!! Jennifer was able to help me identify where I was wasting efforts and what was preventing me from finishing or accomplishing the things I set out to do. Her presence is one of an energetic friend that offers great insight, belief in her client’s agency and ability to accomplish their goals, and an motivational spirit that remains positive, uplifting, and drives towards success. Jennifer creates an atmosphere that is friendly and inviting allowing for vulnerability and accountability while remaining professional and goal oriented.

Time management
Jennifer has a ton of energy that she brings to the coaching session. For me, this was a good thing as it woke me up a little and put me in a “get things done” mental state. She is very task oriented and as such brings forward a plethora of ideas and thoughts to tackle the problem presented. She also is very encouraging and willing to provide resources that she has access to. She is attentive to my goal and consistently circles back to ensure that we are addressing the issues I bring forward.

Tackle weekly responsibilities and to-do lists
I wanted to be able to tackle my weekly responsibilities and to-do lists without constantly feeling like I failed. These consisted of coursework for certificate I am pursuing. I tend to set high expectations for myself. Seeing perfection as the only acceptable result diminishes my self-confidence and prevents me from accomplishing my goals. Jennifer was engaging and empathetic. Her questions, which allowed me to reframe my thoughts, revealed that I had created a very rigid schedule with too high expectations. She understood from her own experiences where I was coming from. Her ability to mirror back to me reflected how little grace I gave myself. Jennifer has a positive outlook and is very energetic. These qualities come through in her coaching. An hour together is always a comfortable conversation in which I gain clarity especially on my inflexibility with myself. Jennifer is helping me reflect on my feelings and realize that I am doing myself a disservice by not taking the time to check in with myself, and acknowledge my achievements no matter how small, taking time "to be" (time blocks for breaks) in the midst of doing. Jennifer allowed me to be heard. That she understood and had similar experiences, she made me feel safe. Moreover, her positive attitude and outlook quickly highlighted the negative self -thoughts that I had not been fully aware of.

Managing Stress & Better Eating Habits
Coach Jennifer engaged in deep listening with me. She heard my frustrations and noticed that I needed motivation throughout the day to keep going. She offered some suggestions (she asked first) for easy meals, motivational quotes, things to look forward to and written down and things to say and laugh about during the day in the mirror. I really loved the simple meal ideas that she helped with. It really made me feel like I had so many more options. She listened to my stress levels and how upset I am with no time to cook or clean my house. Jennifer's bubbly personality and her fun/goofy ideas (not in a bad way) definitely brought some creative ideas for de-stressing
Your fulfilled client in DC
My personal goals were seeking help in creating balance between getting work done and making time for self-care and reflection. I have a hard time letting go of the need for perfection and checking items off my to-do list. Jennifer’s kindness is very welcoming. Her positive energy, humor and openness are comforting and invigorating. Moreover, her non-judgmental approach creates a safe space in which to share honestly. Jennifer is confident. She was aware of the difficulty in finding balance and remaining motivated, as it is something she works on for herself. Her knowledge and experience in this area was valuable in our session. Coach J is also passionate which brought a great energy to our session and beautiful momentum. Her energy is contagious and keeps you moving forward When I got stuck on having to check tasks off my list, Jennifer made me consider – how important is the task? How urgent is it? She made me see that I could build in space for self-care and reflection if I reframed it so that these things were as valuable as work. I was happy to discuss and put into place some strategies to visualize success - to map out future goals and see the tasks as well as the self-care and reflection as progressive steps along the way. Utilizing a vision board and motivational quotes would continue to call up the importance of decompressing and reflecting, including ‘me time’ into my routine, and focusing on progress rather than on perfection.

Jennifer is a sunshine 🙂
She is very action oriented, she questions a lot and supports the weekly conversations, she listens & reflects on what I say beautifully. My deep gratitude. She is Initiating, Active, and Cheerful. I am reminded to consider many of my personal options of how I want to proceed in my project. That is so helpful. I tend to be on a creative side - Jennifer makes me feel more grounded in many areas.

Coach Jen, It’s been so great having your nice voice in my ear just when I needed it. Although I had been “awake” and “busy” each day, I was typically not rested, fully dressed, or energized enough to FUNCTION efficiently. I became so overwhelmed. Thank you for helping me prioritize and organize my tasks into little attainable chunks. Each success along this path motivates me to tackle more. I thank you so much, your strategies have been so effective thus far ~

From Natayla in Florida
Jennifer was very reaffirming and understanding. I felt like it was a complete no-judgment zone and a space to learn and grow. Despite it being a virtual, she was 100% attentive throughout and made a strong mental connection to everything I said! Her presence is both grounding and exuberant at the same time. She brings a tremendous level of lived experience and general life and coaching knowledge with a clear and deep caring for the welfare of others and their growth. Jennifer was brilliant at employing the SMART goal method – she used it to narrow my focus from macro to micro and empowered me to clearly define my specific goals, perfect antidote for my ambiguity and lack of clarity, I will keep coming back, she a great Coach. The 3 words I would use to describe my experience with CoachJennifer: Empowering Clarifying Perceptive Coach Jennifer is an energetic, encouraging, and positive role model. She has experience working in many dimensions of wellness from mindfulness to relaxation. The exercises she taught me have been incredibly impactful on my life. I highly recommend working with Jennifer!

Boundaries giving me control over my career, my personal life and taking my life back.
My first session with Coach (~8 weeks ago) is 180 degrees for me; Coach Jennifer has a natural flow in her sessions that combines active listening and empathy with support, empowerment and structure. She brilliantly reflected and reframed my experiences around boundary setting and validated that I was “taking my life back”. Coach Jennifer also used her expertise in mindfulness and both physical and mental health to help me arrive at a schedule awareness and mindset that will allow me to decrease my stress levels which are affecting my mental/intellectual/physical well-being and family relationships. Coach Jennifer is so intelligent and wise and sharp, yet she balances this with the most empathy and humor and non-judgement – allowing you a space to feel both seen and to grow. We identified methods to maintain my awareness of the space in my schedule, my continued boundary setting and how I could use that space to re-set (whether for studying, reading, catching up on work , meditation, exercise or pure relaxation). I always feel very safe, not judged and free to be me and share my struggles authentically with Coach Coach is completely immersed and invested in my words, in my story, in my progress as well as extremely clearheaded and able to offer new perspectives that remind me why I am doing what I am doing. She is comfortable, confident and competent as a coach. Coach Jennifer’s depth, intelligence and compassion as a human more than fully translated into this week’s session. I came out of the session with more clarity than I knew was possible about my needs, my time and why these were important to meeting my own goals. I feel so comfortable with Coach Jennifer – it is like talking to a good friend yet leaving the time spent together far wiser, more balanced and optimistic than before. I have made measurable progress working with her over the past two months in ways that I did not realize that I needed and in ways that I would not have previously felt were possible (or that I was courageous and clear enough to enact) for me. We are all busy, but I wanted to take the time to share that a dive into Coaching may be exactly what you need without realizing it. I highly recommend spending time working on any goals with Jennifer as a trusted partner in your journey.

Jennifer is an avid weight lifter, exercise minded person and understood very well what I was trying to accomplish and utilized her expertise to help get me there. She listened to what I was saying and helped lay out a great plan to satisfy my needs. Jennifer is 100% very supportive of my goals, and doesn't show any judgements, especially when I talked about my past failures. She was very caring, passionate, and knowledgeable in the subject we were discussing. I could tell it was something she really cared about and wanted to help me with by putting together a plan. Working with Jennifer is AWESOME. She has extensive knowledge of her field, and really enjoys sharing it. I have great confidence she has helped a bunch of people and will continue to do so with her skillset. She’s filled with tons of great ideas and offers great perspectives.

Jennifer is a wonderful yin to my yang
Jennifer is a wonderful yin to my yang. I came into our coaching, not fully clear on what I needed to address and it was the most illuminating and actionable session I have had thus far with any coach! Jennifer is truly brilliant at perspective-taking. She easily transforms a very emotion-driven , seemingly untenable issue and breaks it down into practical, actionable pieces. - She reminded me that my goals require space and clarity to achieve the future I need/deserve/require dedicated time from me. - She re-affirmed my ability to get things done for everyone else (“you always do”) - She suggested that I might want to try /test my boundaries even when I do not actually need to – thereby giving me practice but also simply creating space for myself. - A clear script I can use to express my schedule constraints, why they are important and how they will work in action Jennifer is a wonderful yin to my yang. She has a calming energy that always leaves me feeling brighter. I am grateful to her for her insights, the space she held and the dynamic knowledge she shared in support of my journey. Coach Jennifer’s presence is energetic and 1,000% positive yet non-judgmental and supportive. She is a dynamic thinker and fully committed to helping her client move toward desired outcomes in a realistic way.

PRIORITIES & BURNOUT
I wanted to work on getting my priorities together in my life, as I was feeling burnt out with each priority Jennifer repeated back to me what I was sharing and it was refreshing to hear someone say my words back to me. She was able to summarize my thoughts, reflected my needs (worked on those), and acknowledged my wants. She understood what I was struggling with when it came to applying to jobs in person and made me feel like I could actually be prepared for all of those unseen moments that could happen. She is very in tune with what I was sharing when it came to applying to jobs that I didn’t necessarily want;) For example, she asked what I would do to prepare for dropping off my resumes- what would my body language be? How would I dress? It was like she knew I struggled with those things, as I am an introverted person. Jennifer is very detail orientated and gave me a lot of encouragement when it came to getting things done. Her presence was insightful in and of itself, she gave me that push! Thank you, Jennifer!
