Jennifer is a kind and open-hearted coach who worked with me over a period of several months to provide structure and support as I expanded my diversity, equity and inclusion knowledge and continued my anti-racism work. She helped me set meaningful and actionable goals for myself, provided a safe space for me to process my learnings, and offered accountability to keep me on track. With her help, I was able to make progress towards making my coaching services more inclusive and safe for persons of colour.

As a people leader and engagement/change manager, I know "one approach does not fit all". To meaningfully engage partners, motivate champions, and unlock performance that comes when every individual feels they belong and are respected, I needed Jennifer’s help.
Jennifer has taught me how how to back up my inclusion strategies with data, approach situations from a holistic perspective, and has given me support & guidance to achieve my inclusive leadership goals. Thank you, Jennifer!
