What Clients Have To Say

..on this journey together..

Working with Jen as a career coach was truly a joy. She always approached our sessions with an attentive listening ear, with compassion, and an eagerness to learn and explore. Her enthusiasm and cheerful disposition helped me to learn how to be joyful in the job searching process that I was in. I had started working with her after about half a year or more of struggling to find a job and identify my next steps. The process could feel demoralizing and hopeless, and Jen knew that, and brought a lot of hope into the process.

…having a career coach like Jen provided me with more focus and mindfulness in a rather difficult and consuming process. Jen helped me go beyond the surface of “What is my next job?” to “What is my purpose, and how can a job be part of that purpose?” Our sessions where we deep dived into my habits of thought that were hindering me from progress, and then devising activities that would help me learn new patterns of thinking and acting, were really powerful. Jen helped me understand the mental and emotional barriers that were taking too active of role in my thinking, and helped me see that tools are needed to be able to learn how to dismantle old habits.

She always ended our sessions with encouraging words of joy and affirmation, assuring me that I was doing great and that all was progressing well, and that I was going to be okay. Those comments were invaluable to come from a career coach! It always felt like we were both on this journey together - she wasn’t there to lecture or turn out advice; she was walking alongside me and as invested in my journey as I was.

I would recommend her to anyone! Anyone who is in need of a little more encouragement, support, or guidance, anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and how to help themselves grow more, or anyone that wants to just have a thought partner, Jen is an excellent resource.

..intuitive, creative & very present..

I have been a professional coach for 10 years and believe in coaching with all my heart.  I am also a wife and mother of two and often find little time for my own reflection and personal work.  I did one coaching session with Jen and was amazed at how penetrative, deep and insightful her questions were.  She is intuitive, creative and very present.   Much of my confusion and anxiety was relieved in less than one hour. I then contracted with Jen to work on very specific goals related to relationships and community service.  However, I was also at a place in my life where I was completely overwhelmed and the thought of having homework or action steps terrified me.   We focused our work on the “being” aspect of life - a practice which I taught in my work but have had trouble implementing in my own life.   I needed to learn how to actually BE and instead continue to execute and do.   

Through our sessions, I have learned how to tune into my authentic self, to manage the other voices which attempt to sabotage me from meeting my goals and create action steps that are not a simple to-do list but actually shift my mindset on a daily basis.   The action steps Jen suggest are highly customized to me and super creative.    Each session I look forward to generating new insights and breakthroughs. Jen encouraged me over text between sessions and I could reach out when I needed extra help.  

That has been the most powerful result - is I am actually inhabiting and connecting to myself.  I am more joyful and present on a daily basis - more connected to my loved ones, my work, and my purpose.  I recommend Jen Wilson Coaching without hesitation!

..insightful, fun & patient..

It has been such a joy working with Jenny. She’s insightful, fun and patient. The tools she has shared with me in just a few sessions have dramatically shifted how I move in my daily life and have both empowered me and made space for a sense of peace to take root.
