About
I get it. It’s overwhelming when the whole business rests on your shoulders. All decisions are running through you and you alone.
I know you want to scale your company and increase profitability. In order to do that, you need your team to be involved and engaged with execution. The problem is, you’re too busy putting out fires or spinning your wheels to make this happen.
That’s why I’ve coached over 400 business owners in developing and executing their strategic plans — so they can get out of the weeds and start seeing real results.
Here’s why my approach is unique:
- My focus is on process, alignment, execution, and people. First, we build the strategy and then align your people to it — so it isn’t just on you as CEO.
- Clients call me the “Velvet Hammer” because I’m not afraid to call them out, while not making them feel attacked.
- Your custom roadmap is combined with proven methodologies because using a cookie-cutter system doesn’t work for everyone.
- I’ve built two businesses, sold one, and coached countless others in growth strategy. That means I’ve been where you are, and I can give you unbiased feedback and guidance.
CEO can be a lonely job, but it doesn’t have to be. Let’s get started.

Before we started working with Jennifer, we couldn’t accomplish big strategic planning because we were always stuck in the day to day. We had loose ideas of where we wanted to go but nothing was formalized or profoundly thought out. We had inconsistent communication styles with our team and we were always putting out fires instead of strategic growth. After implementing with Jennifer, the growth of the team feels amazing. We have direction, a living strong culture, and a multi- year goal structure that allows us to concentrate on the right actions today to take us where we want to be in 3-5 years. Our team has consistent communication channels and the culture has skyrocketed. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough. Our company wouldn’t be anywhere near as productive or profitable if it wasn’t for Jennifer.
—Abby Spaulding, Managing Partner - Continuum Planning Partners
As a new CEO of a small company experiencing explosive growth, I was looking for a way to help structure the executive team and create real, measurable goals in a service business, something I had struggled with for several years. Jennifer met with me to design a plan to help my entire team structure our future business and made sure that everyone felt they had a place in the conversation. She introduced the Rockefeller Habits to a very unstructured industry (music business) and helped us understand how to grow and scale a soft skills business. After one planning session, we began to implement huddles and priority creation and it’s been night and day for our business. I feel like I know what’s going on at a much higher level, the communication has improved dramatically, and the team is empowered to own their own part of our business. Cannot recommend her highly enough!
