Testimonials
"Jessica tapped me on the shoulder and simply said "you should sign up". I had a word the second evening and she very eloquently explained why she had said what she had said, so I signed up to be a sub group facilitator for ING.
Since then, Jessica has been on hand to help and guide, she's an asset to any company or institution that brings her into their set up. Due to her continued involvement with the ING Think Forward Leadership Experience I have seen her coaching skills up close, helping my colleagues find their leadership purpose statement that really speaks to them. Her open personality makes it very easy to talk through any problems I have had when facilitating, even something as simple as how to listen, and how to get the conversation started have been priceless tips to me and continue to be so."

"“I want you to know how much I enjoyed meeting you, as well as being a part of your “Build Your Cultural Intelligence” workshop. You are both an inspiration and a leader in your work. Thank you for coming to Yale School of Management. Your workshop is very beneficial to our students not only from the recruiting aspect, but also in the classroom, and when the first-years take their ‘International Experience’ trip to various countries."

“I have had the pleasure of working with Jessica these past 3 years in Microsoft in her capacity as a Master facilitator for the various manager training that we delivered to Microsoft Employees based in EMEA. I had the pleasure of watching Jessica in action as a facilitator on several occasions and have always been impressed by her calm persona, ability to get engage participants in a meaningful way that resulted in positive impact and glowing satisfied learner feedback. Jessica is always passionate about what she does, provides feedback that encourages a review of processes that results in improved operational activities and has been a great partner in collaborating on new projects such as 1:1 coaching.”

“Jessica presented an overview of Professional Coaching for a workshop evening session run by CPA Australia members working in the Netherlands. The event was a great success, largely due to Jessica’s delivery of a well balanced session of the background and techniques of coaching, and included some hands-on activities that brought the content to life. Jessica did a great job of making the attendees feel relaxed, but at the same time asking thought-provoking questions that gave attendees real insight into what coaching can offer.
Jessica clearly enjoys the coaching profession and combines this enthusiasm with a business like approach that ensures results are achieved by those with whom she works.”

“I worked with Jessica on two occasions. The first was where my company utilised her talents in teambuilding, leadership skills and international culture.
We then asked Jessica to design and facilitate another session and align it to our company requirements. This she did with great purpose and achievement and I would thoroughly recommend her for your training (whether it be coaching or international culture) requirements.
She is approachable, personable and professional.”
