Jenny has been coaching since 2000, earned her MCC credential in 2006, and has been a coach supervisor since 2009. In an engaging conversation, Jenny shares her fascinating journey into the coaching profession. It began with her passion for adult education and conducting intensive interviews to help individuals without qualifications get into university later in life. This led her to pursue therapy training before discovering coaching as her true calling. Over the past 23 years, Jenny has made significant contributions to the field through her coaching, supervision, writing, and commitment to bringing out the potential in each individual. Her coaching style pays deep attention to the client's physicality and communication, employing a range of creative approaches.

Memorable Quotes include: "I'm just really nosy about what brings people to where they are. That's what led me to it." "The longer I coach the more I'm willing to both to bring less of myself and to bring more of myself. It's always a work in progress." "Coaching is relational and we need to be with the person, believing in them, that ICF and I guess everybody else thing of, we believe this person to be competent, resourceful and whole and creative." "I would like to see [coaching] developing that people find ways of making more coaching available to more people, more of the time."
