Success Stories
“Jill created a safe space for the deep self-reflection I needed to grow in my recent role as Director for Partnership for Strong Communities – while sharing concrete strategies to address daily challenges. The greatest gift I received from this process was the confidence and validation to create a better work-life balance. Jill also worked with our full staff and was successful in helping us establish a structure, engage better, and move toward team goals. I highly recommend Jill as a smart, compassionate and insightful coach, who truly listens to her clients.”
“Working with Jill I’ve developed a better understanding of my strengths and blind spots. I’ve been exposed to the concept of visualizing and the positive role it can play in my life. Jill is very perceptive and usually can determine an area that I would like to work on before I become aware of it myself. You realize that you are truly working with a pro and someone who has a passion for what she does.”
“Jill has coached and provided advice to many members of our senior leadership team in a variety of areas, including leadership skills, team-building, onboarding, and leveling up for promotions. She has had a remarkable level of success every time we have employed her, and I would highly recommend Jill. She is smart, empathetic, perceptive and fearless.”
“Jill was my executive coach as I moved into a VP role with my last company. Her unique ability to identify improvement areas through her thought-provoking questions and a holistic approach (taking all aspects of my life into account), sets her apart. Jill is curious, engaging, unrelenting when needed, insightful, and kind. She spent time not only learning about me, but also about my company and its culture to maximize my success. Her experience helps her provide multiple solutions to any problem. We remain in touch, and I would highly recommend Jill to people at any stage of their career.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Jill in her capacity as an executive coach. After interviewing several executive coaches, I clearly believed Jill was the perfect match as she was knowledgeable, organized, open, and a keen listener. Jill’s down-to-earth personality was instrumental in adding a comfort level that is critical in these type of engagements. I would highly recommend Jill as an executive coach for anyone who is going through professional and/or personal transitions.”
“When I started working with Jill, the irony is that I was working with young people regarding choosing colleges and careers. You know the saying, you can do it for others but not for yourself. So I needed someone who knew their way around human nature, motivation, de-motivation, and the intricate and delicate workings of career movement. Jill was perfect. She was warm, approachable, understanding, patient, curious, pushy when needed, hands off other times, the perfect combination for a career partner. She was just that – a partner. You will have no regrets in working with Jill.”
“In my first conversation with Jill I told her that love what I do, just not how I do it. Since that discussion Jill has provided me with fundamental tools and helped me refine my business purpose so that my current success is directly aligned with my passion. Jill has become a critical part of my business plan and pushed me to look at things through a different lens. I’ve worked with other coaches throughout my career, but none have taken such a personal interest and investment in my success.”
“As my executive coach Jill has brought a unique ability to understand what I am struggling with while simultaneously pushing me to step up as a leader. As a result of our work I have been able to scale an increasingly complex organization that is now six times bigger than when we started working together.”
“Jill is a joy. She is a knowledgeable, insightful and compassionate coach. Her approach is refreshing and her coaching is up to date. She can be direct and soft, and has the skills and the wisdom to use them in perfect harmony. She makes you feel you have been in each other’s circle forever. You feel at home when you spend time with Jill.”
“I worked with Jill on a career reassessment and highly recommend her services. She was outstanding in her ability to look behind my initial answers to stock questions, unpack the assumptions, and expose the underlying themes. This ability, rather than the questions themselves, was what led to the best insights and the most progress. Her warm manner kept me challenged in the process without ever making me feel challenged as a person, and that made all the difference.”
“My work with Jill led me to uncover my own definition of success which focused me during a challenging career and life transition. Her guidance uncovered talent that I took for granted instilling confidence in my quest for greater purpose. Jill’s knowledge of career management helped with my major decision to move cross country where I landed a very good position in a short time. Without question I highly recommend Jill for leadership and transition coaching.”
“Jill and I started working together in 2015 when I experienced some unique challenges I had handling the evolution of my business and management team through a transition. Jill provided coaching to help me best lead our firm and then coaching became part of my long-term strategic planning. At one point, my business partner and I decided to sell our firm to support our growth, and coaching included key decisions, preparing for the acquisition, and the year-long integration of my firm into an international company. I then worked with Jill to successfully navigate a new culture including global senior executive responsibilities. In the last couple years we have worked together on my part-time role leading a family business and back again in my own consulting practice. I consider Jill a long-range career partner.”
“I highly recommend Jill. She is passionate about her work, has a very personable approach, and is extremely perceptive. She uses the latest tools and technologies in combination with her deep business experience to provide leading edge as well as tried and tested advice. Her coaching has been beneficial during career transition and in helping me pursue my purpose, passion and potential overall. I’ve worked with a few personal and professional development coaches throughout my career and place Jill at the top of the list.”
“I worked with Jill when I was returning to work after some time raising my sons, and having just moved. We worked through my self-imposed obstacles, and she referred me to people and resources that helped me in many ways. Our coaching led me to community and entrepreneurial ventures that aligned with my talents and purpose. During subsequent transitions, Jill has provided invaluable counsel, going above and beyond. Jill’s not only an astute coach, but incredibly generous with her time and experience.”
