Jen has been an invaluable partner for driving team cohesion and performance, especially during critical times of organizational growth and change.
Jen is an expert in taking teams from “forming” stage to “high performing” stage. From running Disc assessments and trainings for cross functional teams, to 1:1 coaching, to being a keynote speaker at company wide meetings – I have continued to pull Jen into organizations to help me build high performing, motivated teams that gel and excel.
Jen’s intuition is her super power – she steps into a new environment and immediately grasps the energy, team dynamics, nuanced challenges – and connects with people in a uniquely relatable and vulnerable way, creating the trust and space required for teams to be vulnerable and open to change/growth.

You will be better at (fill in any work-related item) if you partner with Jen. I met Jen when I was in a really exciting new role with an international company and needed help with company-wide training. Jen met me exactly where I was (which was nervous!) and helped me deliver what is still referenced by many as “one of the best training’s I’ve ever received at work”, focusing on giving and receiving feedback.
Not only did she curate spot-on content, she delivered it in a digestible and action-oriented way for a variety of different audiences, including our Executive team. She produces quantifiable results; in my case this was an increase in employee engagement and positive sentiments toward the company as reported by the staff she’d trained.
Since this transformative beginning, she and I have partnered on many projects spanning all facets of the employee experience to include executive, HR and full-team coaching, career and HR programming consultations and many facilitated training sessions. She’s an absolute star, a true joy to work with, and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for results.

Director, Human Resources – Veho
I have worked with Jen multiple times in a corporate setting. The content she covers, her effective delivery style, and her seemingly effortless way to simplify complex problems has always been very well received from our employees. I’ve had numerous employees approach me after a corporate training session with Jen, and say, “Can we please get her back for ALL of our training?”.
I’ve seen Jen successfully deliver DiSC training with our Product Development Leaders, People Team, and all director-level and up managers. She also spent a week at our organization and held over 15 classes in that week delivering Giving & Receiving Feedback training to all of our employees to help drive a corporate culture shift that we were working to accomplish.
I’ve also seen Jen’s success as a personal/professional coach, connecting her to some of the most important people in my life and seeing effective results and positive feedback from those sessions as well.
Jen is truly a pleasure to work with and I can’t say enough positive things about her as a person or her work. I highly recommend her as an asset for both individuals and organizations.

Vice President, Culture – Seamless AI
I first saw Jen giving a seminar and was immediately impressed with her knowledge and how relatable she was. After the event, I approached her to help me with business coaching for my company. We worked out the details and Jen flew out to California to sit with me and address what I was struggling with. In just a couple of days, we tackled all of the things I was struggling with both personally, and with my company. I highly recommend Jen as someone who is authentic, knowledgeable, positive and who can quickly help you gain clarity and control when times are difficult.

Jen is the swiss army knife in a toolbox of people. I can drop her into a new or challenged project and she will deliver results quickly. Her ability to understand project objectives, align and improve processes, people and products is uncanny even on projects outside of her immediate technical skillset. Jen’s ability to identify and solve problems has been invaluable to the efficiency and results of our team. Her collaborative skills, tenacity and drive to find alignment and efficiency always impress me.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Jen multiple times over the past 2 years and would highly recommend her if you want a thought partner who is going to get to the root of the problem and drive real change. Jen takes the time to ask the important questions, understand the dynamic of the group, the context, and your desired outcome. She partners with you to design a program specific to your needs that includes the necessary follow-up to ensure there is long-term impact.

Sr. HRBP – The Knot Worldwide
Working with Jen has been one of the most valuable decisions I could have made in my life. When I first started working with her, I was in my very young 20s, trying to figure out how to navigate “adult life” graduating from College and setting sail on life’s greatest adventures. Jen and I have consistently worked together for over 10 years and now being in my early 30s, can safely say that I navigated a LOT of life’s transitions. From career choices, to family dynamics, personal goals, going back for my Masters… Jen has consistently adapted to the phase that I’m in, while consistently seeing me through to the places that I wanted to go.
I’ve been able to bring Jen into my organization to share her amazing lectures with my colleagues, and as a Global Software company, the feedback from the session was glowing. Every person in attendance found something to resonate with, and every person left with a piece of information that they can use in their lives. It was an incredibly diverse audience, but that’s what makes Jen so special. She finds a way to meet you where you are and is the guiding light that you need.
There are things that Jen taught me in our early days of working together that I still implement into my life on a weekly basis, and I often come back to those important lessons frequently when I need to feel grounded. I can’t recommend working with Jen enough – be it on a personal level, from an organizational standpoint, you will NOT be disappointed, I can promise you that.

Featuring Jen as a keynote speaker is a true partnership.

Head of People & Chief of Staff, Interfolio
I had the privilege of attending one of Jen’s sessions and I knew right away that her message had to be cascaded across our teams. Her ability to connect so deeply with the audience was something that I knew would resonate with many of our team members. We engaged Jen to host a series of workshops with our Women in Technology team as part of our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategy and the response was amazing. Jen went out of her way to create customized messaging that took her inspirational content and merged it with our corporate culture which created an immediate impact on our audience. Participants were treated to multiple workshops including one on Breaking the Glass Ceiling and Owning Your Career. In each session, participants walked away with tactical strategies that they could deploy to drive their development and improve their relationships with themselves, their team and their leaders.
I have been working with Jen for over 10 years and throughout this time she has helped me develop my career and also guided me from a personal development perspective. Her insights consistently challenge me and help me see different perspectives which enables better problem solving, improves my ability to strategize and move forward faster. I know that I can bring complex career issues or decisions to our sessions and walk away with a strategy and plan on how to address. I know that I can also go to her with personal issues where I need someone to help me course correct my path to bring out my best self. Jen’s advice has been instrumental in helping me make decisions, become a better leader and be a better advocate for myself.

Jenn Boyce
Senior Director, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – Loblaws
Jen’s approach is genuine, and hands-on – adapting to the needs of each of her clients to ensure they get the most out of the coaching experience. I’ve been lauded as someone who is quite self-aware, but in my first two weeks of working with Jen she has helped me uncover blind spots about myself and their root causes. Where other coaches might pull out the same framework client-after-client, Jen seeks to understand what makes her clients “tick” through direct engagement, asking critical questions, and speaking with people in the client’s orbit to get a well-rounded point of view to set them up for success.

Director, Business Operations | International – The Knot Worldwide
Work with Jen. Good feedback is so hard to come by – particularly at higher levels in your career. As much as you may try to actively seek the kind of feedback you need to grow, you are probably not getting it. Enter Jen. With her disarming style and ability to draw out the real kernels of feedback from those around you, she quickly cuts to the core of your growth areas. All while understanding how you can play to your innate strengths. Her goal isn’t to change you. Her goal is to help you harness your power and make peer feedback work for you.

Jen has a wide range of advanced coaching and consulting skills, which means she makes a significant impact on your business from day one. At MOPO, we initially brought her in to drive the deployment of a major new software platform to our key channel partners. However, she quickly became invaluable across many parts of the company, guiding us to build effective processes and teams, and guiding our people to produce stellar results. We would not be where we are today without her.

Jennifer spent an intensive 3-days with our organization. She facilitated the DiSC Personality Profile with the entire staff team. Her humor, professionalism, and insight created an engaging day of growth and connection. She also worked directly with the executive leadership team. Her inquisitive questions and ability to get to the heart of a topic were invaluable. It is without hesitation that I recommend Jennifer’s services.

Mona Treadway
Founder – Dragonfly Transitions
I worked with Jen probably a dozen times over a two to three-year period. Her approach penetrated deep and fast. Within the first few sessions, she was able to help me clarify my personal and professional goals, which provided me with newfound courage and resolve to successfully manage large-scale organizational change and evolving leadership dynamics.
Jen also helped me develop a more comprehensive organizational perspective and, along with that, the necessary skills to lead effectively in a corporate environment. As I look back on this work we did together many years ago, I realize now it not only helped me survive a really challenging time in my life, but also it helped me build a foundation for continued growth and success at an organization that I have remained loyal to for almost 10 years. I will always be grateful for Jen, her down-to-earth attitude and approach which enabled me to “find myself” and build a joyful career. Thank you, Jen.
