The Old Model Rewarded Certainty. The Next Era Demands Clarity.

You built your career inside a system that rewarded having the answer, moving fast, and holding it all together. It worked, until the ground shifted. Now the pressure is louder, the stakes are higher, and the playbook that got you here doesn't quite fit anymore.

You don't need more motivation. You need a strategic partner who understands what it takes to lead inside complexity, and help you do it without losing yourself in the process.

I work with senior leaders, executives, and high-performing professionals at critical inflection points, when the cost of staying on autopilot is too high and the next chapter requires more than ambition. It requires intention, clarity, and a strategy that's built around who you actually are.

You’re Not Broken. You’re at an Inflection Point.

Whether you're a VP navigating a restructure, a CMO rethinking your next move, a founder scaling past yourself, or a senior leader who's outgrown the role but not the title — these are the moments that shape what comes next.

You might recognize yourself here:

→ You're leading at a high level, but the way you got here is starting to cost you — your clarity, your energy, your sense of direction.

→ You have the title, the track record, the respect. But something is misaligned and you can't quite name it. You just know the current approach isn't sustainable.

→ You're navigating change — organizational, professional, personal — and you need someone who won't just cheer you on, but will challenge you to think more clearly about what's actually going on.

→ You're making decisions with real consequences and you want a thinking partner who operates at your level — not someone handing you a worksheet.

→ You know you're capable of more. Not more work — more impact, more clarity, more intentional leadership.

This isn't about fixing what's wrong. It's about building what's next — deliberately.

GRAB A TIME TO CHAT

Let’s Get this Conversation Started!

Meet Jill D. Griffin
Leadership Strategist & Executive Coach

Jill’s spent 20+ years driving growth and leading teams at companies like Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Hilton, and Martha Stewart. She’s launched 50+ brands, managed $1B+ in media budgets, served as COO for divisions valued at $13M and $75M, and navigated a startup sale and post-acquisition operations across 25+ cities.

She knows what it takes to lead inside complex organizations — the pressure, the politics, the decisions that don't come with a clean answer. Jill built her career inside that system. And then she built a practice around helping other leaders do it better.

Today, she works with leaders who are navigating high-stakes situations, growth, transitions, visibility, team dynamics — and want to do it with more clarity, more intention, and without getting crushed by the pressure.

  • Jill is a driven, no-nonsense coach who knows exactly how to push you in all the right ways.

Jill helped me focus my career story in a way that not only highlighted my key strengths but also redefined how I see my value in the market. This helped me expand my search beyond just agencies, and I went into my job search confident and prepared. In the end, I got the job I wanted.

Jill’s ability to listen with empathy and kindness, while offering tailored strategies and frameworks, has guided me through some of the most challenging moments in my career. She doesn’t just provide advice—she equips you with the tools to thrive. Jill’s influence has been a game-changer for me, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking to not only advance in their career but to do so with purpose and confidence.
