“I embarked on the psychological coaching journey with Jen, as I wanted to make a career decision. I was feeling somewhat unfilled in life. At least I thought I was. Jen worked with me on my values and values based decision making. I discovered what my key values are and how to use this for decision making in my life. My purpose and values became very clear. I realised that I am incredibly fulfilled in my life, and discovered this through reflection in the sessions and afterwards. The coaching with Jen, was the best money that I have spent in my life. It has helped me to truly understand what makes me tick. It is the first time in my life that I can clearly see the direction that I want to go in. I am truly grateful to Jen for facilitating this learning and reflection.”

“After more than 15 years of management at L'Oréal, meeting with Jen opened my eyes to an unknown part of management, a difficult part to accept in a big company: vulnerability. Often synonymous with weakness, I finally understood that it was a strength, a virtuous circle that could push me to go further with my staff but especially to 'push' my colleagues. The connection between colleagues is key, it fosters better commitment and team-building, and that showing my vulnerability is an asset. I worked on this axis with Jen recently and since then I think about it daily during difficult situations in my work. A big thank you to Jen for listening and sharing. I did it naturally but not systematically. Now I strengthen the links with my team.”

“It's important for me to give a comment on my collaboration with Jen. Before working with her I didn't have efficient communication and the level of my structure was low. After a few days, Jen's method of training and coaching increases self-confidence and gives focus on learning. I have a job that requires speaking without preparation, and now my daily life is easier. Jen really has an advantage in comparison of other methods. The learning is very efficient. This allows me to speak and communicate my point of view and ideas and to be active in my role. The best two hours of my working week.”
