Mission Statement: I believe it is a birthright to be inspired in one's work. Making work awesome changes the world — one leader, one team, and one organization at a time.
Jen is a visionary, accomplished entrepreneur, and a co-founder of InspireCorps. With over 25 years of experience, including within Fortune 500 companies, she has consistently inspired transformative business results that transform lives in the process.
Jen brings a breadth of corporate experience from her leadership roles in e-Commerce and Healthcare at market leaders such as eBay, Hewlett Packard, and Johnson & Johnson. After witnessing wild success, and also misses, over many years, she founded InspireCorps from the belief that it is a birthright to be inspired in one's work and that making work awesome is a worthy pathway for changing the world.
Jen is at the forefront of innovation on where organizations are and need to go next. As a co-author of Dare to Inspire: Sustain the Fire of Inspiration in Work and Life, she did 5 years of original research which revealed how inspiration is an X- factor for leaders, teams and cultures and a most valuable resource to be managed in modern work.
As a principal consultant you can count on Jen for breakthroughs, propelling leaders, teams, and organizations to new heights of performance, and fulfillment. Her authenticity and ability to build trust, combined with her experience, are how she delivers the highest impact growth. She embodies the belief that growth requires discomfort and risk and true joy happens in the climb as she stretches herself to think, feel and do things in new ways everyday.
Expertise: CEO, executive team, and board performance, health-care leadership, merger/integrations, people development strategy, new leader and project launches, applied positive psychology, embodied cognition and somatic intelligence. Jen's recent research passion is executive presence and the underutilized power of our bodies in leadership.
Jen lives in Connecticut with her family and dogs, and loves to forage for inspiration in the woods near her house and around the world.
