COACHING
Coaching is a powerful way to harness inner wisdom and transform mindsets and behaviors. In my coaching practice, I work one-on-one with my clients to design leadership goals and a learning agenda to achieve them. Coaching differs from consulting in that I don’t tell my clients what I think, but rather hold a reflective space for them to come to their own answers, which results in much greater clarity and effectiveness. The tools I use in my coaching vary from client to client but often involve centering on values, trying experiments, and creating specific action plans at the conclusion of each coaching session.
“I worked with Jessica for several months before transitioning into the Executive Director role at my organization and it was a truly transformative experience. One of the best things about working with Jessica is that she always nudged me in the direction of my values. As a woman of color, it was so important to be reminded over and over by Jessica that I can lead as my true, authentic self.”
Ailen Arreaza, Executive Director, ParentsTogether
“I am forever grateful to Jessica for helping me navigate my movement journey! During our sessions together, she asked the hard questions I needed to hear and be able to answer and coached me through a set of goals that we ultimately achieved. I firmly believe everything was manifested with great intention because of our time together.”
Jennifer Pae, Executive Director, The Arca Foundation
"Jessica helped me not only clearly identify my goals, the impact I want to have, and how I want to lead but pushed me to stay on course even while managing conflict and challenges. I highly recommend working with Jessica. Her skilled and thoughtful approach to coaching keeps me accountable to myself and I am a better leader because of our work together."
