Leadership Philosophy

Jessica believes emotional intelligence, and more specifically compassion and self-awareness, are key indicators of success for leaders. These two competencies drive a culture and climate that embraces diversity of thought, supports inclusion of staff and stakeholders, and creates a safe environment for people to grow and thrive. Mastery requires a daily practice of reflection for continuous learning and a commitment to accountability for self and others.

Our teams LOVED Jess. It was unanimous. I was not expecting such an overwhelming response to her facilitation style and what I heard over and over again — that she somehow just... “gets us.”
