About Jen

I believe you have One F*cking Thing worth building a whole business around.

For over two decades I've helped coaches, consultants, entrepreneurs, and organizations cut through the noise. My job isn't to hand you a longer to-do list but to help you find the one thing that actually moves you forward.

What I Stand For

Core Beliefs

Three beliefs that shape how I coach, teach, and lead.

We rise by lifting others.

We can't do this alone. I began helping Parent coaches because they changed my life and my relationship with my 4 kids. Now, I help coaches, consultants, entrepreneurs and organizations build businesses that let them do the same for someone else.

None of us can see our own blind spots.

The mind is the hardest part of any new venture to manage. That's the whole case for coaching...someone else showing you what you can't see in yourself. With support through our mindset, all our dreams can come true.

Overwhelm is the real enemy of progress.

We can have everything we want if we take inspired action, one thing at a time. That's the entire idea behind O.F.T.™: pause, choose, finish, repeat. I love helping my clients overcome overwhelm to live the life of their dreams.

Welcome, I'm Jen

My road here wasn't a straight line...and that's exactly the point:)

I never set out to become a business coach. I started out simply trying to be a better parent, and that search for answers turned into a career I never expected.

2001

Began publishing local resource guides for parents to fill a gap I couldn't find answers to myself...eventually reaching families across Canada.

2001–2017

Wrote and released 59 editions over seventeen years, working around nap times, homework and everything in between.

2017

With four teenagers of my own, I hired a Parent Coach and it changed things so much that I made it my mission to help other Parent Coaches build thriving businesses too.

Today

I coach founders, speakers and consultants of every kind through the O.F.T.™ and N.I.C.H.E.™ Methods I built from those years of listening.

How the Method Was Born

Every client I coached had the same three struggles.

They couldn't name their niche. They didn't know what to post. They were busy all day without feeling like anything moved. The pattern wasn't a strategy problem...it was overwhelm. So instead of adding to the list, I built a method for narrowing it.

Pause before adding anything new.

Choose the One F*cking Thing that matters most.

Finish it, then repeat.

Fun facts

A few things about me.

Country Living

Home is a peaceful sanctuary in the country close to my sisters and kids.

Coffee before anything

My best ideas show up in a quiet kitchen with a full mug and a blank notebook page.

Mom, first and always

My four adult kids have shaped this work more than any business milestone ever could.

In Their Words

What clients say after finding their O.F.T.

She will not tell you what your goals should be...she will show you what your potential is and then...show you what is getting in your way.

Kate Garzón

The best thing that's happened to my business all year. I'm landing paid clients and I finally feel confident doing it.
