Professional coaching has flourished in the 21st century in response to a need for people to reconnect with themselves at their deepest levels.
The pace of life, ubiquitous technological distractions, and constant demands for our attention draw our focus away from our personal and collective truth. Coaching can help cultivate authenticity through self-awareness and a greater sense for possibility. It can help us reconnect with our true essence and move in life with more power, integrity and dignity.
In a team or organizational setting, this can mean the difference between a culture of misunderstandings, misalignments and missed opportunities and an environment in which individuals and the collective thrive – delivering excellence with efficiency, effective leadership, and a sense of meaning.
As a coach Jennifer places special emphasis on cross-cultural challenges, connections and communication. Creating a safe environment in which to have meaningful conversations, she brings integrity, depth, humor and a caring presence to her work.
Jennifer has trained in various dimensions of the Enneagram, an ancient wisdom system with applications for coaching, self-awareness and personal development. She uses the Enneagram as a starting point for most individual coaching engagements. The system often reveals deep insights almost immediately, which can ‘soften the ground’ for deep coaching to ensue.
She also taps other tools, including ValuesOnline, greytogreen, and Human Design, to support individual and team coaching.
Jennifer is a founding member of Edgewalker Group International, a cross-cultural coaching network. She has been certified as a professional ontological coach by Newfield Network and by the International Coach Federation.
The work I do with Jennifer speaks to my soul. I’ve been longing for a sense of magic, and her coaching has given me back this magical connection, a re-connection to my inner golden thread. Like in any chemical reaction there’s a need for some element to initiate the change. That’s what Jennifer does for me. She’s a catalyst for change in my life.
