Services
I offer private coaching sessions via video, phone, or in person.
The first session is a 45 minute complimentary exploration, free of charge!
If you decide you would like to work together, future sessions are one hour, and frequency is dependent on your needs. I offer discounted services to members of underprivileged communities.
Background
About Coaching
Working with a professional coach is great for someone seeking fulfillment in their career. A coach can help you rediscover yourself and partner with you to take steps toward achieving fulfillment.
Coaching sessions are checkpoints in the journey to arrive at a place of professional fulfillment. We identify incremental steps towards achieving fulfillment, and hold you accountable for taking those steps. Professional coaches are similar to athletic coaches: we zoom in on areas of positive potential, we challenge you to mental exercise, and we push you past your comfort zones.
About Me
I’ve been on a wild ride professionally: I’ve worked in fashion, competed in New York’s amateur boxing circuit, worked at several successful and unsuccessful startups, and been the only woman on an executive team (and in the board room!) Prior to working in startup operations, I had a career in fashion as a graphic designer. In my mid-twenties, I went through the experience of realizing that I was unfulfilled in the work that my college degree supported, and I embarked on a career change.
When I was a boxer, one of my coaches said to me, “Once you realize how much power is inside you, you’ll be unstoppable.” This was a defining moment for me that immensely impacted my future as a manager- my goal is to help people see their power and push them to use it fully.

Testimonials
“Working with Jill gave me the confidence I needed to pursue the career I’ve always wanted and to fight for the salary I deserve. Jill was great at providing tactical advice, while also helping me craft bigger picture goals. Working with a career coach is a vulnerable process, but I felt comfortable with Jill all along the way. Whether you’re in a major slump or just need a little boost, I can’t recommend Jill’s services enough! ”
“I began working with Jill when I was unemployed and stuck on how to approach searching for my next job. I was looking for someone who had a multitude of professional experiences, who I could admire because of their business success, and who could ask me the appropriate questions so that together we discover the right solutions.
Jill has tremendously helped me in several ways.
First, Jill listens intently and provides actionable feedback. I appreciated her value-based questions that guided me to a solution that was right for me.
Jill was also very flexible and willing to work with my schedule and the frequency at which I wanted to meet, even answering emails outside of our scheduled coaching time, reiterating that she’s truly there to help your career journey.
She helped me feel more confident in my job search and my interviewing. I’ve ultimately landed a new job that I love which is a great fit for me.”
“I’ve had a lot of difficulty with dating, and when my friend suggested I meet Jill, I knew I wanted to ask for dating and relationship coaching. From the first meeting, Jill helped me uncover some themes of challenges that I had with dating, and offered strategies to test out. She was very empathetic and understanding, urging me to be self-compassionate, and made it clear that she wanted to tailor her suggestions to my specific situation (I’m a queer female with a busy schedule). I have to admit, I wasn’t fully bought into the system, but I went along with our plan. Although I didn’t meet 100% of the goals we had set, my mindset had changed, and within a few months of trying these new strategies, reached my ultimate goal. I met my current and first girlfriend. I can’t say this was all thanks to Jill, because I’d like to think I did some of the hard work, too. But I can say that her guidance, encouragement, humor, and professionalism, pushed me the extra mile to help me reach my dating goals. ”
“Jill has been my career coach for the past 4 months and I have had a wonderful experience. I came to Jill dissatisfied with my current work situation—I was facing barriers to growth in my current job and also needed to start planning for motherhood. She helped me talk through my concerns and options. I came away with a clearer understanding of my own near-term priorities and a clear plan of action. Since then I’ve found a new job that meets the needs and requirements I had established with Jill. It is a good cultural fit, has career growth opportunities I am interested in, has a friendly maternity leave policy and meets all of my compensation requirements.
Jill’s unwavering dedication to helping her clients better understand their own needs is the key difference in the service she provides. She balances empathetic listening with helpful problem solving and encouragement. I’m incredibly pleased with the results I’ve achieved with her help. She reminded me of the strengths I bring to the workplace and helped me think about possibilities for my career I hadn’t thought of on my own.”
