Meet Jennifer

A Little Backstory …

When I reflect on my career, I can clearly see the thread running all the way through it of helping people to be more effective in their roles. The way that I do that has morphed over the years as I have grown, learned more and developed my skills.

Interestingly, though, for years I struggled to acknowledge and allow my own authenticity to emerge. I felt like I needed to model my “style” after other, more successful professionals. I even masked my Cajun accent, (although it only really comes out once I’ve had a glass of wine or two!), and worse of all, I suppressed my sassy sense of humor.

Once I realized, (after working with some really smart and insightful coaches), that when I lean in and truly allow my authentic self to emerge, that is when I’m able to contribute my highest value to clients. And that’s because people would rather a leader who’s always real than a leader who’s always right. Oh, and by the way, when I’m operating from this place of authenticity, I also have less stress, more confidence, and resonate with the people I’m meant to serve.

So, having been there, done that, it is my honor and privilege to help you, my clients to discover your own unique assets and strengths. You see, I believe that each person has a unique blend of assets, strengths, gifts, and talents and that we have not only an opportunity but a responsibility to leverage these unique qualities to serve others.

My programs focus on mastering communication, inspiring real teamwork, and amping individual influence to impact the bottom line. I love working with leaders who really “get it.” They get that people truly ARE their greatest assets and they understand that when they invest in developing their people, they will reap a tangible and intangible return on that investment for years to come.

My basic principles are captured in my book Lead, Follow or Get Me the Hot Sauce

and have inspired me as a speaker at conferences and events. Today I am one of only four Certified Speaking Professionals (CSP) in the state of Louisiana as recognized by the National Speakers Association. I also hold certifications as a professional coach, facilitator, Master Trainer, and Senior Professional in Human Resources. I guess that pretty much means that I’m certifiable too!

After overseeing hundreds of employees as a Human Resources Director, as well as a consultant who has worked with sales, service, and operations teams in the oil and gas, manufacturing, financial, and professional services industries, (to name a few) I am more convinced than ever that every organization’s sustainability and profitability hinges on leadership and team success.

And finally, I’m passionate about crawfish, chocolate, wine, family (our sweet grandbaby especially) and Gumbeaux – my Golden Retriever puppy.
