Client Testimonials

Jen worked closely with me in my role as a practice group leader and supported over 70 lawyers on business development strategies and activities. Jen interacted as a coach and strategic advisor. She identified each person’s strengths (e.g., mining relationships, client experience, cross-serving, public speaking, writing, connection through social media), tuned into their objectives (e.g., targeting prospects, expanding work for existing clients, creating brand and reputation), and asked thoughtful questions to guide each individual to an appropriate BD activity. Jen is adaptable and unflappable. She is fun and connects personally with her colleagues. Our lawyers enjoyed working with Jen and executed successful BD activities with her coaching.

Krista McIntyre, Environmental Compliance Attorney

Jen was instrumental in helping me when I was in a management role at my firm. While I am no longer in that role, I still find her input, guidance, and coaching to be extremely valuable in a competitive legal environment. I highly recommend Jen to assist in coaching attorneys at all levels!

Theresa Dunham, Managing Partner, Water Quality Lawyer

I have known Jen for some time. She has a great reputation as a legal marketer, but I had not experienced that firsthand. Recently, Jen invited me to join her in a brilliant presentation she has created [for the California Women Lawyers’ Annual Conference] on how to get the most from attending a conference. It was an honor to work alongside her. Not only is she a true professional, but she really knows her stuff.

Cami McLaren, NLP Practitioner Working with Lawyers

Jen is always thoughtful in her approach, and her ideas are consistently on the mark. She is an expert organizer and a superb communicator with the ability to facilitate conversations and bring groups to a decision or consensus. While much of her experience has been working with those in the legal field, her expertise translates very well to other professionals.
