Unlocking Team Performance
Strong teams don’t just happen. They are built intentionally, with trust, alignment, and clarity at the center. I partner with leadership teams and cross-functional teams to:
Build trust and identify a common set of values
Navigate transitions and systemic challenges
Create sustainable practices that deliver results without burning people out
Sound familiar?
“We’re smart, capable people, but as a team, we’re not aligned and it’s slowing us down.”
“We’re facing more change than ever, and I need my leadership team to be resilient and unified.”
“We deliver results, but it feels like we’re burning out our people in the process.”
I believe teams thrive when they’re grounded in shared values, respect, and trust. My approach helps teams move beyond surface-level collaboration into deeper alignment and resilience.
I focus on four things:
Shared Values - identifying foundational ways of working unique to the team.
Human-centered accountability — balancing responsibility with compassion and flexibility.
Intentional listening — creating space for silence, curiosity, and understanding.
Constructive disagreement — turning conflict into a source of innovation.
The result is a shift in team energy: barriers come down, people open up, and the group becomes a catalyst for each other’s growth. Because it’s rarely lack of skill that holds teams back — it’s the dynamics. My work is about transforming those dynamics so trust and brilliance can flourish.

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.”
