Over four years, she challenged me, coached me through setbacks, and celebrated my wins. She didn’t just teach leadership—she modeled it.

Jennifer was supportive and collaborative, providing resources for planning and balance. As a new business owner, it can be overwhelming to know what to do once your launch phase is complete. Jennifer skillfully helped me create plans and reflect on strengths/areas for improvement both personally and for the business. I am grateful for her kindness and collaborative style. Pivot is better for it!
