All About Jill
MA, Ed.S., PCC, ACG
A caring heart and a professionally trained ear.
Certified Coach with doctoral-level education in Mental Health Counseling
Taking people through a process to truly know and appreciate their strengths, clearly articulate their talents, identify and live their values while blasting through their fears and doubts is what working with me is all about.
Holding people’s dreams and aspirations, I coach them to achieve and move themselves forward so they can live a fully engaged life both professionally and personally. My practice embodies a customized and holistic approach to career counseling, focusing on work/life balance, finding meaning in our lives and creating our own vision and path.
My career has included executive, leadership, career (professionals and students) coaching as well as leadership development, team development, talent acquisition and development, succession planning, and organizational management. I’ve worked and lived in the U.S. and Canada, as well as Europe and the Middle East.
I work with professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs who are facing career transitions, workplace stress, and the complex demands of high performance. I have a particular passion for supporting clients with ADHD and other neurodivergent profiles, helping them translate insight into practical, sustainable action.
I am known to be extremely caring and supportive while at the same time extremely knowledgeable of current work trends and very pragmatic.
When I’m not working, I recharge myself in yoga classes, weight training sessions, and meditation. I’m always looking for the next experience and live in a multicultural family that has brought me to Africa multiple times with my husband and son.
My one common lifelong tenet: always encourage clients to live outside their comfort zone, embrace imperfect action and accept failure as a growth opportunity.

I was incredibly impressed and pleased with the service and support that you provided. Jill was professional and warm. It was exactly what we needed with this sensitive termination and she had the employee leaving in a much better and supported state than we anticipated. Thank you for the quick turnaround time on this.
