"Jennifer is an incredibly intuitive coach!  Jennifer was my coach during a transitional time in my life. During our coaching time, Jennifer used her skills to help me see different perspectives and find alternative solutions to get "unstuck" Jennifer seemed to know the right questions to ask and helped me figure out the steps I needed to take to move forward; I always felt motivated and positive after each coaching session. I will definitely hire Jennifer as a coach again."

"Jennifer is one of the strongest leaders I've had the privilege of working with on several occasions. She is one of the few executives truly changing the game in Human Capital and my own professional skills have been sharpened due to her progressive leadership style, solid business acumen and ability to produce results that always exceed expectations. I'd feel comfortable facing any business challenge with Jennifer leading the team and I personally feel I'm a higher performer today because of her positive influence as a lifelong coach, mentor and friend."

"I recently had the opportunity to be coached by Jennifer during a transitional time/role change. She was extremely professional and incredibly intuitive. Regardless of the topic I would bring to our sessions - she was quickly able to break it down into simple/easy chunks - asking clarifying questions, helping me to see different perspectives and critically think about steps forward/path to resolution. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a coach and will definitely keep her in mind for future coaching needs."

"She was my HR business partner through many different people-related challenges during a difficult economy. Jennifer is one of the most strategic-minded HR people with which I have had the pleasure to work in my career, and she balances that with an ability to cut through organizational noise to find the core issue of a situation. I would be honored to work with her again and I think that anyone who has the opportunity would learn a great deal about the right way for HR to partner with the business."

"During the time that Jennifer and I worked together, she demonstrated many great attributes, however, the one that stood out the most was her client engagement skills. Regardless of the topic or situation, Jennifer was very dedicated to her client group and showed a high level of responsiveness and thoughtfulness to their needs and requests. What makes this skill stand out is her strong bias for action, depth of problem solving capabilities and above all the courage to have tough conversation when necessary. I would recommend Jennifer for any Leadership position and would welcome any opportunity to work with her in the future."

"Jennifer proved to be a quick study and tireless worker in quickly moving into the Senior Project Manager role. Her strong understanding of the entire project (client requirements, technical setup, and data requirements) along with her project management and business skills allowed her to very effectively lead an extended team of 10-15 members. Jennifer was also an instrumental part in developing delivery strategies that were adopted for client acquisitions, client divestitures, and implementing new legislation applying to 401k processing."

"I had the opportunity to work with Jennifer when we both worked in the I/S and HR divisions at American Family Insurance. As a project manager, Jennifer is extremely well organized and has the ability to quickly assess a situation and make a decision. From an IS perspective, she exhibited a willingness learn (in some cases, in detail)technical issues which affected the project. In my opinion, she is able to vendor manage very effectively. My project management skills were raised by working with her. If you need a large scaled project to be managed very successfully, than you would want to have Jennifer lead it."
