Performance Got You Here. Capacity Takes You Further.

You've earned your seat. You know how to perform. And you're at the point in your leadership where the old ways of operating don't scale with the speed and complexity you're navigating now.

The next era requires a different kind of capacity. The ability to lead yourself, lead others, and navigate complexity with clarity and intention — without absorbing everything that was never yours to carry in the first place.

This is where that gets built. Not just strategy — though there's plenty of that. But the leadership identity, the mindset, and the thought work that makes the strategy actually stick. Because how you lead starts with knowing who you are as a leader. That clarity is the foundation everything else gets built on.

Every Engagement Is Different. Here's What's Typically On The Table.

The work is built around what's actually happening in your leadership — the decisions you're navigating, the team you're leading, and the leader you're becoming. Here's what that typically includes:

Leadership Identity & Clarity Most leaders were never taught how to lead. They were taught how to perform, how to deliver, how to manage. This is where you build the foundation: your leadership identity, your purpose, your values, andthe decision-making patterns that let you lead from intention rather than reaction.

Navigating Complexity & High-Stakes DecisionsThe higher you lead the fewer decisions come with a playbook. Restructures, difficult conversations, political dynamics, competing priorities — Jill thinks through the situation with you, brings the outside perspective you can't get inside the organization, and pushes where you need pushing.

Visibility, Positioning & Executive PresenceAt this level how you show up is as important as what you deliver. Jill works on your leadership presence, your narrative, and how you're perceived in the rooms that matter, so you're seen as the leader you actually are, not just the results you produce.

Transitions & What's NextWhether it's a new role, a promotion, a pivot, or the next evolution of your leadership, Jill builds a strategy for what comes next that's grounded in who you are, not just what's available.

Team Dynamics & InfluenceLeadership is showing people the way forward. Management is keeping things running. Jill works on how you do both. Leadership is setting the direction, building the trust, and creating the conditions where every person carries their own metaphorical backpack so your team scales with you instead of depending on you.

Mindset & Belief Systems Your mindset was built for where you were. Jill works on how you think about pressure, capacity, and your own leadership — interrupting the patterns that no longer serve you and building the operating system that fits where you're actually going.

How We Work Together

  • One-on-one sessions via Zoom structured around what's live and relevant in your leadership right now. Not a check-in. A working session.

  • CliftonStrengths analysis and leadership style assessment because strategy built on your actual strengths leads faster and more sustainably than strategy built on assumptions.

  • Between-session support via Voxer, or WhatsApp because real leadership challenges don't wait for your next appointment.

  • Strategic frameworks and tools the kind of thinking structures that help you make better decisions faster and lead with more clarity under pressure.

  • Direct, honest feedback Jill is warm but she's not soft. You'll get direct, honest feedback delivered with respect, and a partner who will challenge your thinking when it needs to be challenged.

Executive coaching engagements are typically 6 to 12 months — because the kind of leadership transformation we're talking about takes time to build and even longer to sustain.

For Leaders Who Are Ready For Their Next Era

You've built something real. You've led through complexity, delivered results, and earned your place. And now you're at the point where you're ready to lead more intentionally — not just more effectively.

This is for you if:

  • You're a senior leader, executive, or high performing individual contributor operating in a high stakes environment where the cost of wrong decisions is real.

  • You're ready to lead with more clarity and intention, not just more effort.

  • You need to create space and capacity in your leadership and you're not sure how to do that without slowing down.

  • You want a strategicpartner who supports and stretches you, operates at your level, and challenges your thinking when it needs to be challenged.

  • You're navigating a transition. A new role, a promotion, the next evolution of your leadership, and you want to be strategic about it.

  • You're building a team and you want everyone carrying their own backpack so you can lead at the level you're supposed to be leading at.

This is for leaders who are ready for what’s next.

Let's Talk

What my clients say about working with me:

  • Working with Jill has been truly transformative. Her personal experience navigating the corporate world adds immense value to her guidance. From discussing project related strategies to overcoming communication obstacles, she has been an invaluable strategic partner. Her insights and support have played a crucial role in making important decisions like traveling and returning to school. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable career coach.

    - Myung Bender, Product Lead, Tech

  • I have had a fantastic experience working with Jill. My primary work with Jill has been around career management - first, she provided some guidance for refreshing and reworking my resume and LinkedIn profile which made a huge difference. During my recent job search, I had far more invitations to interview and direct outreach from recruiters than I've ever had before. When I received two offers, Jill's coaching was incredibly helpful in thinking about the numbers....but not JUST the numbers. That's the best part about working with Jill - she provided excellent tools for the "data geek" in me to help with my analysis, but she also led me through some exercises to think about the experience and everyday life that each role would bring. This combination of "practical and personal" was just what I needed. I highly recommend working with Jill - she knows her stuff incredibly well, but you'll also enjoy the process, laugh more than once, and feel very well cared for. Thanks, Jill!

    - Jim Franco, Sr. Product Manager

  • I highly recommend JIll for anyone looking for executive coaching. She brings empathy, smarts, and logicial solutions to get your career back on track. When I was 'separated' from my job, and Jill was instrumental in building back my confidence in-between and during my new position. She helped me realize what it takes to manage myself and my team effectively, and offered gudiance throughout my career journey. If you are one of the many folks needing a jolt in your current career or have been laid off recently, I highly recommend Jill's effective one-on-one sessions that can bring you back to success.

  • “Jill is an amazing career coach…she has a way of finding the underlying reasons why we make certain choices.  She asks the right questions and it makes you more aware of why and how you are in the current situation which allows you to take a step back and reevaluate where you want to move forward with career, health and any other major life choices. I would highly recommend her, she definitely made an impact on my future!”

  • Jill is a driven, no-nonsense coach who knows exactly how to push you in all the right ways. As a lifelong creative, I had plenty of experience but had never needed to formally “sell myself” to get a job. 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. Beyond that, Jill has an incredible wealth of resources and market insights. Whether it’s how to present yourself in an interview, negotiate a better offer, or navigate personal challenges, she’s a constant source of practical, actionable advice. Not to mention, she’s energetic, supportive, and always in your corner. I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re considering a coach, call Jill. You won’t regret it.

Frequently Asked Questions

YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS.
I'VE GOT ANSWERS.

  • Are you struggling to break through? Are you always the understudy and not the lead? If you can answer yes, then the answer to your question is right now.

    You simply need to be ready to put in a few hours of effort to make changes in your job prep material and your career.

  • Well, besides my multifaceted professional experience I also have the personal experience of knowing how to tell a compelling and concise story. Interviewing is about storytelling and selling. You need to know how to do both in order to make an impact. I’ve helped hundreds of people land new jobs. In fact, 87% of my clients get a raise (+30%) and 77% get a new job. While those are THEIR results, if you do the work, you’ll have powerful results too.

  • See the section above for the specific details but on top of an elevated resume, LinkedIn profile and career narrative, you’ll have a Career Consigliere on your team to help you navigate the job prep process.

  • The Resume Refresh package is a focused two week experience where we workshop your job prep materials together. In addition to our sessions you should plan another few hours to recall and write a draft of your professional experience and results (don’t worry I’m here to help!), plus you’ll need some time to update your resume, cover letter and LinkedIn with the new copy. You’ll also have 2 full weeks to message me via Voxer (a walkie talkie app) so I can answer your questions and guide you along the way.

  • Great question. I have a few spots each month dedicated to helping people with a Refresh Resume and to be able to provide timely responses to important questions. If it was me, I wouldn’t wait :)
