You Can’t Outwork
What You Won’t Confront.

Avoidance doesn’t make problems disappear—the deeper you bury them, the bigger they become.

Jess’s executive coaching gives you the tools and real-time partnership to break the cycle, so you can navigate high-pressure, high-stakes moments, speak with impact, and lead with clarity & conviction.

Even the Best
Leaders Get Stuck


Everything Feels Too Big.

You are results-oriented, but not getting the results. You’re staring at the mountain, knowing you can usually climb it—but not sure where to put your foot first.

The Pressure Closes In.

Board targets. Investor calls. A team that needs direction. Everything is high-stakes. You’re carrying the weight of other people’s expectations and your own standards—and there’s no room to drop any of it.

Tunnel Vision Takes Over.

You’re so deep in the details you feel like you can’t breathe. The more you push, the narrower your view—and the harder it is to course-correct.

You’re in Motion, But Not Moving.

Everyone’s working hard, but growth has stalled. You can feel it—and so can they.

Your Words Don’t Land.

You know what you mean, but it’s not what they hear. The gap between your intention and your impact keeps widening.

You Don’t Have Time for Guesswork.

You need precision—clear insight, quick adjustments, forward motion. You don’t want theory; you want progress you can measure.

What Changes When You
Work With Jess


  • You focus on the solutions, not the problem.

    A curiosity-led approach to leadership. Instead of making statements, you lean into the questions and unlock the insight and possibilities you couldn’t see before.


  • You get an accountability partner.

    Someone who has been where you’ve been, matches your pace and holds you to your word—refocusing you when the pressure is high and makes sure your intention aligns with your impact.


  • You gain a trusted sounding board.

    A confidant, someone outside of your team or family who has unparalleled insight into the inner workings and gets both operations and people—helping you untangle the toughest problems without judgment.


  • You start making better, faster decisions.

    Instead of getting stuck in stress or overthinking, you move forward with clarity and high-leveraged action. Teams rise to the occasion, accountability sticks, and you stop being the bottleneck.


  • You diffuse conflict without fear.

    Tough conversations stop being landmines—you address issues directly and move people to action.


  • You actually enjoy your work again. 

    The pressure doesn’t vanish, but you feel more in control and less consumed by it. No more running on adrenaline—your leadership has structure, purpose, and momentum.

How We Work


Success doesn’t always feel like success. Sometimes it feels like chaos. Jess partners with you 1:1, creating a cadence of touch points that meet you where you are.

Together you’ll tackle both:

  • Overarching leadership challenges—calling out the hard truths, stripping away the noise, and commanding the role you’ve already earned instead of being consumed by it.

  • In-the-moment communication support—real-time troubleshooting and tools for when the stakes are high and words matter most.

This isn’t theory. It’s practical, tailored guidance that you apply immediately—so progress compounds week after week.
