Talent Management systems and processes, increasing team effectiveness and addressing issues of leadership have been the core of her experience.

Jennifer’s consulting philosophy focuses on the affective domain to make effective change. Learning through cognitive faculties is just the beginning. To internalize fundamental change it must pass through our emotions. Relationships are how work is done and authentic interactions make the difference, every time, giving a competitive edge to organizations that recognize and nurture this in employees. This is supported by continuing clinical neuroscience research and has broad implications for future leadership and development activities.
Other core beliefs incorporated into her consulting practice include empowerment as an operational imperative, an holistic approach that honors the interconnectedness of systems and recognition that culture is king in any change.
