Jess asked me powerful questions at just the right moments
“Jess and I met at a critical point in my career, during a challenging transition. Our time together was a welcomed forcing mechanism to reflect on where I was currently at, align my efforts (namely, mindset) to where I want to be in the future — and find some self-compassion in the process.
She pushed me to reframe things differently, give myself credit where credit was due, and keep in line of sight the greater end game.
Jess asked me powerful questions at just the right moments, which led to clarity and encouragement I wouldn’t have otherwise had access to.”

I’m now able to make decisions driven by my values, rather than my emotions
“Conversations with Jess are always empowering. The focus is on your goals and how to use your innate abilities and skills to achieve those goals.
I think that even smart, successful people need people like Jess to help clarify their intentions and take the next step.
Working with Jess has introduced a new clarity for evaluating situations. I’m now able to step back and make decisions driven by my values, rather than by whatever emotional state new problems find me in.”

Hi, I’m Jess Feldt — a leadership coach passionate about helping people thrive through complexity at work and at home.
My coaching focuses on building sustainable success for emerging leaders, teams navigating change, and parents balancing career and family.
How I work: I focus on creating real, lasting change by helping clients shift the mindsets that drive their behaviors. I bring in research and proven approaches, but always in a practical way — encouraging experimentation, reflection, and learning so growth feels authentic and sustainable.
With a background in talent management, leadership development, and a master’s in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, I bring both expertise and empathy to my work. As a credentialed coach through the International Coaching Federation, I partner with clients to find clarity, balance, and authentic ways to lead, without sacrificing what matters most.
What does it look like to work together?

We work together for ten sessions spread over six months. We meet every 2-3 weeks based on your availability. In between our sessions, you have access to text and email support between our calls.
In our first call, we dive deep into your goals. In each follow-up call, we discuss the mindsets and behaviors that influence the outcomes and goals you aim to achieve. We end each call with a commitment or experiment designed to challenge you out of your comfort zone. Along the way, I’ll be there to guide reflection, point out blind spots, share leadership frameworks, and hold accountability.
Includes:
Intro call (90 mins)
9 coaching sessions (50 mins each)

“Working with Jess helped me to see how my self-sabotaging behaviors limit my abilities but how they also can sometimes serve a purpose.
With the exercises and practices we discussed, I feel confident that I’ll be able to better manage my self-sabotaging thoughts and avoid the burnout associated with them.”
