Hi, I’m Jen. I’m a specialist in change and transformation journeys.
I have more than 15 years of experience as a senior executive in the corporate sector leading people - as individuals and teams - to navigate the challenges of change, connect with their personal strengths and deliver on goals. As head of strategy and planning for a large and complex business unit within the government education sector, I specialised in taking people on a values-led, skills-dependent journey to achieve lofty goals. Successfully managing multi-million dollar budgets and delivering high-profile projects demanded that I lead from a place of clarity and cultivate a strong culture of collaboration rooted in a connection to purpose.
I have a PhD in Education from the University of Sydney and a Bachelor of Education with Honours. My research focused on how the school system in Finland produces such happy kids (reveal: it’s a focus on developing individual strengths and strong, collaborative relationships). I have taught children in primary school, pre-service teachers and new teachers in schools. I have engaged in multiple coaching and leadership trainings that have helped me to support people of all ages on their growth journeys.
I am a 500hr+ qualified meditation & yoga teacher and I have trained and practiced with a range of instructors across several disciplines, beginning with my first class in 2001. I have studied both Buddhist & Vedic meditation which is reflected in how I work. I structure courses & bring together information in a way that is accessible and engaging for learners and I tailor support to the needs of the individual. I am passionate about helping people to establish sustainable practices that support their mental health & overall wellbeing that fit into the complexities of daily life. I have found meditation & yoga to be powerful tools for self-discovery, healing and growth and this drives my passion for sharing them with the community.
I live on Dharawal land, on the NSW South Coast, with my partner, two daughters and two dogs, nestled between the Illawarra escarpment & the sea.
As a consultant specialising in change, it is my diverse experience that makes my offering unique. My proven track record in leading individuals on the journey of connecting to their inner strengths, releasing unhelpful thought patterns, reframing thinking where they feel ‘stuck’, shifting perspective on the future, and taking action to achieve dream goals is my passion. I facilitate personalised, transformational journeys that are based on self-empowerment and an inspired vision of the future.
Regardless of how or where you feel stuck in your life, I can support you to make the changes you are yearning for and move forward into your next chapter in a way that resonates with you and brings results.
