Meet Jen...

Extraordinary Life Design & Business Success Mentor

my passion...

is to help people get the most out of their lives in every way possible.  I believe we all have the capacity to live extraordinary lives.  I also believe there are as many definitions for an “extraordinary life” as there are people in the world.  There is no one “right” answer; there is only the right answer for you.

The work you do is a huge part of your life, so I absolutely love helping people create a viable business from their passion.

My purpose is to bring awareness to people from all walks of life about how they can have more joy, passion, enthusiasm and purpose in their lives.  Life is just too short to simply go through the motions, struggling only to survive as many people do.

my mission...

is to help people transform their lives, design lives they really love and achieve dreams they really have a passion for.  Whether that means to have more joy in their lives, to lose weight, to gain control of their financial situation, to create beautiful relationships or to turn an idea they are passionate about into a successful business.

my soul & personality...

I've been told I'm very down to earth and real.  I'd certainly agree with that. I am extremely comfortable with who I am & I'm usually very open. What you see is what you get with me.

I'm honest and I expect honesty from others. I also get that we're all human & imperfect, so I'm forgiving. I do my best to come from a place of peace, love and respect. Since I'm also human & imperfect, I'm not always successful with that. In any case, I respect myself first by refusing to engage in toxic situations, without taking things personally (usually).

I suppose I'm naturally a bit more left-brained or analytical and I am more productive with some sort of structure. At the same time, I get super bored if things are not changing up a bit. I need to stimulate that right brain as well. That seems to become more & more important to me as time goes by. I love doing creative things... decorating, gardening and music. I'm always into some new project.

my background...

is pretty ecclectic & I love that word... probably because it so accurately describes every aspect of me.

I'm originally from a small town in Wisconsin, although I mostly grew up in Las Vegas. I've been into personal growth & effectiveness since I was a teen. My studies & intuition have guided me to creating my own strategies and programs. This is where my creative side & my analytical side collide to bring others my gift of making personal transformations easy and fun.

My professional background varies from corporate America to "mom & pop" small business. I have a B.S. (that's Bachelor of Science, not the other B.S. hehe) degree in Chemical Engineering with a concentration in Biomedical Technology. (I'm not going to act like I'm some super smart genius... it was tough & I had to work at it!) Even though, in my Jr year, I was pretty sure this was not the field for me, I finished my degree & got a great job at Intel, making computer chips. After 2 years, I finally gave in to the fact that I had no passion for that work. See, that analytical side of me caved & lost out to the wonder that is now my life... I'm happy to say!

how I got into this...

It was the last half of 1998 and I realized I had no passion for the life I was living. I've always said that time in my life felt like I was standing at the edge of a cliff & suddenly I just jumped, not knowing what I was getting into. It was out of character for me, because up until then, I always had a plan... I always took the safe & secure path... I was not a risk taker.

Taking that leap was the most liberating thing I'd done to that point in my life. If I had it to do over, I'd do it again except I'd jump off a higher cliff, sooner and further.

Since that time, I've done things I never imagined I would do, I've gotten to know myself much better & I've positively affected many lives. It's absolutely amazing & fulfilling to be able to help others find success on their own path!

Professionally, I worked in sales for about 9 years. During this time, I also nurtured my interest in helping others through personal & professional coaching, putting on an occassional workshop, coaching clients here & there and working with my own mentor coaches.

In the past several years, I've studied how to successfully market a business using numerous methods that work quite well for solo-entrepreneurs, service providers and small business owners.

All of these details have come together so I could create this business & the programs I bring to you and fulfill my passion by helping you fulfill yours!

That's who I am... in a (pretty long) nutshell. I'm an open book :) so if I left any questions unanswered, feel free to ask me.
