Successes
Jeannine was a truly fantastic asset in both planning and facilitating our recent staff retreat. As a growing staff team with new colleagues a new leadership, she walked us through the motivators assessment and our workplace identity results in a really dynamic way. The exercise was not only incredibly fun and insightful for each of us as individuals, but it also brought us closer as colleagues trying to achieve our mission driven nonprofit goals together. I’d highly recommend Jeannine and her abilities to any team-large or small, for or not for profit. With her support, you’ll change the way you view collaboration and colleague personalities for the better and learn so much about what drives you to succeed!

On behalf of the Cleveland Foreign Credit Group, we want to thank you so much for the excellent program. All of the attendees were impressed, and felt your observations were very pertinent to their particular situations. The comments following the presentation included that your method of ascertaining what motivates employees and team members was such a fresh and exciting (and viable) approach, they hope their companies get behind it.

Jeannine recently collaborated with Starfish Practice on a change management contract. The value she added to the project was immeasurable. Her strong work ethic and never give up attitude is admirable. Jeannine's ability to help everyone keep their eye on the big picture whilst simultaneously not lose sight of more detailed nuances is impressive. Jeannine's valued contribution was critical to the successful outcome of the project. I thoroughly appreciated the opportunity to work alongside Jeannine and will seek further opportunities to do so.

Jeannine is a great listener, can effectively go deeper into problems/situations, provide insights and help with growth as a leader. She helped me gain new perspectives of managing teams and introduced me to concept of Team of Teams, an approach that helped with leading large teams. Jeannine has been a mentor through my journey of self-discovery, growing as a leader and creating structure in the midst of chaos. Thank you Jeannine for the passion and enthusiasm you bring to teams. Your positive energy is very much appreciated.

She is a positive person and offers insight and perspective that I needed in facing a new and challenging role.

Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple and it is also that difficult.
— Warren Bennis
I worked with Jeannine for a few months as part of a Rising Leader program at my company. Jeannine was a fantastic coach, always on time, very positive, and thoughtful. As a manager, growing my organization quickly while maintaining strong relationships with my whole team as individuals was becoming a real challenge. Jeannine provided great frameworks to help me manage through this and make the appropriate tradeoffs. She would also keep me engaged throughout the week when we weren't speaking with articles and tidbits that she felt were relevant to my situation. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jeannine to any leader who wants help through challenging periods or a career transformation.
