Success Stories and Testimonials

I had the pleasure of receiving entrepreneurial coaching services with Jennifer G. She supported me as a bridge from personal life day to day challenges to taking positive actions around my business. She was there for me every step of the way. Jennifer is kind and compassionate and gave me the time and space to be heard and allow the greater wisdom within to be revealed. She put her client first, and stayed positive, considerate and available.

I worked with Jennifer Guillaumin for 6 months this year as part of a leadership program in a mentor/mentee role. I was hesitant to participate in the mentorship component of the leadership program initially because I didn’t feel I had any specific goals that would benefit from coaching. Jennifer, from our very first meeting, was warm, thoughtful, encouraging, professional, and kind. She helped me identify what goals I wanted to work towards in not only my career, but in my personal life as well. She provided a framework for setting goals, prioritizing, and then following through on them. I entered the mentorship/coaching program with no specific goals in mind and left with a list of well thought-through and prioritized goals that are meant to ultimately enhance my life and well-being. I enjoyed working with Jennifer and would recommend her to a friend, family member, or colleague.

I didn't know how to approach a topic I wanted to work on, but Jen helped me to break it down into small steps. As a result of that, instead of being intimidated even to start, I got excited and brave. During our first session, Jen helped me to make a one-year plan. I am very happy that I am still sticking to it. I was surprised how easy and productive our sessions have been so far. I am looking forward to continuing our partnership because I want to reach my goal. I clearly see that Jen can help me to do that. She is knowledgeable, professional, gentle, but persistent at the same time. Thank you, Jen!

When Jen sets her mind to something, she goes after it! She is driven, humble, and passionate. She finds time to go after her goals while also prioritizing her overall health, wellness, and resilience. She is a mentor and a leader, and she blesses everyone's life who she comes in contact with.

I have been working closely with Jennifer for the past 18 months and I can honestly say that she is one of the most dedicated people I have ever worked with. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with her and watching her achieve so much success in her life.

In my nearly daily contact with Jennifer, I have found her to be a pleasure, dependable, accountable, honest, humble, to focus on solutions as opposed to problems, and to possess a genuine care and interest in people and in being of service. I look forward to watching her continue to do great things.

Hi Jen, I saw this morning that you were elected to the ICF San Diego board. Congratulations! I am impressed by your stamina and the amount of energy you have to invest in many endeavors. Good for you!

Jennifer’s professional, knowledgeable, energizing, positive and insightful approach helped me personally and professionally. She coached me in establishing my business by helping me to overcome the obstacles that were preventing me from doing so. I was feeling overwhelmed in what direction to go and all there was to do. Her insights, great questions and gentle prodding led me to very solid decisions. Her method helped me take actions that maximize my results by eliminating the energy involved in tasks or side issues that weren’t a priority. I was able to incorporate much more focus towards achieving my goals. She incorporates a unique balance of careful listening and providing support by not making decisions for me but instead helping me develop ways to deal with situations using my own knowledge and self-awareness. I have been better able to look at challenges in different ways and find very meaningful solutions. She worked with me to establish an action plan with necessary steps, incorporated accountability for follow through, and I have successfully launched my business! As a result of her method and effective coaching, I have been able to refocus my energies and complete some major goals in my busy personal life as well and this has made a substantial difference. Her coaching has assisted me in establishing a solid foundation for continued growth and success both personally and professionally Thank you, Jennifer!
Deborah
When Jennifer started coaching me, I was having some problems with clear direction and taking action steps for a new career. Jennifer helped me to think through what I was wanting to accomplish and how to go about it. Within the first two weeks I had set goals and began to take actions toward my set goals. She helped me to define action steps and became my accountability partner in completing the action agreed upon. Jennifer was a great listener and demonstrated the ability to give me good feedback on what she was both hearing and seeing. Her caring and compassion was obvious. I would recommend Jennifer to other people for coaching.
Joe
It has been such a tremendous pleasure to have Jennifer a part of my life, she has been incredibly intuitive, encouraging, kind and considerate. She is passionate about her career and deeply caring for those around her. Her sweet spirit and thoughtful expression of endearment is warming to the heart, mind and soul. I had the chance to hear Jennifer speak at a memorial service and was powerfully moved by her professionalism and emotionally inspiring words. In my opinion, her gift of stirring thoughts and ideas in others are profound. Never have I experienced anyone so moved by their desire to excel in what they are passionate for. In my advanced professional career and after a lifetime of journeys both far and wide, it was somewhat difficult for me to understand that others could have such a meaningful and powerful effect on my decision-making process. The greatest breakthrough that Jennifer helped me to realize was the fact that perspective isn't limited to our own experiences and narrow understandings. A different point of view can often offer us great insight into our own personal circumstances that we otherwise may never have been able to recognize. Jennifer helped me to see that although my gift of compassion in supporting others’ dreams, goals, ideas and aspirations was noble, the dream of my own fulfillment was equally important and that my greatest achievements could actually be in providing as great a success for myself as I strive for others. I owe a world of gratitude to Jennifer for the impact she's had on my life and the special way she has introduced development to me, even in cases where I assumed solutions or answers weren't warranted, needed or required. I have enjoyed my experience with Jennifer and highly recommend her to anyone regardless of their needs, desires, or positions in life. While at a complete loss for the quintessential expressions to perfectly describe her in the depth at which she ultimately deserves, I have only this to offer, she is amazing!

This is lovely – thank you Jennifer! And a big thank you for all your shepherding with the Coaching Power Hour. It’s a big job to coordinate all that and I’m thankful for students like yourself willing to initiate. Thanks again for being such a great ambassador of the coaching program with current students and alum.
Carrie
Jennifer, Thank you for making this season special for foster youth! 😊
Hilary
I’ve really appreciated your investment in my own life. Feels like a higher quality of life, such small things, noticing a tremendous improvement in my mental space.
Sara
I appreciate working with Jen. She was particularly helpful to me during this time as it is very stressful. I lost my mother at the beginning of the year and working on my dissertation. Having Jen as a sounding board has been extremely helpful. She has been helpful in assisting me to stay on task, and this encourages me to be reflective which is truly an advantage.
Laurel
Congratulations on having such a positive impact on your client's clarity of purpose, confidence and behavior. She made such huge strides. Great use of powerful questions to support her journey forward into the life she was seeking. I am very intrigued by your quantitative approach to progress. Your use of journaling, meditation and prioritization seemed so perfect for her, and I know that is what you use in your life as well. Very impressed,
Eva
I valued your use of a thorough in-take assessment. Your client’s response to one the questions “it’s time to act” would immediately tell you she is motivated to act and you can build on accountability and planning from there. You leveraged that readiness with the homework that the client did daily. That is impressive and the time and energy she put in paid off in the end. Your use of adult learning techniques served the client well to get to “the purpose of reflective practice is to facilitate one’s own learning from experience. The client will develop insight which can propel her forward towards reaching her goals." The use of three words and reminders all fit the client’s readiness and commitment and aided in confidence building, boundary setting, and determination to live the life she desired and designed. Good job on navigating your reaction to the angry boss, staying in the coach lane and helping the client find the action that was “right” for her.
Ingrid
I have your reflections and thank you for your kind words about the course. You were a great participant in all aspects of the work, and it definitely contributed to the learning of the group. You are a great coach. You care about your clients, and you are very committed to your own growth. We will stay in touch. Regards
Dennis
I loved your photo on your introductory post. There will be something that fits the positive contributions you make and will utilize your brilliance and expertise. Your positive attitude is impressive, especially during this critical time. Your positive presence and insightful posts on coaching during the past two semesters have impressed and benefited all of us in our cohort. I look forward to continuing our dialog as we move through this coming term.
Bob
Wow, what a motivating case study. It was great to see the positive impact you had on your client. The assessment that you employed to measure her progress was something that I will surely add to my toolbox. For me, the most powerful part of your case study was solidifying your outcomes. POWERFUL.
Derrick
I am so inspired by your dedication to wellness. It was a pleasure to be on this coaching adventure with you. Stay well,
Eva
I too was struck by your use of the in-take as an assessment, and by many of the questions you ask—I love the one about looking back on your life 3 months from now and “what would happen for it to be your most incredible 3months ever?” I’d like to reflect on that question myself! I appreciate the clarity and structure of your approach. Your use of categories and supporting questions is a powerful framework—and clearly helped this client find her purpose and a way toward it every day. Wonderful to hear her increased clarity and energy. I could totally picture the story you tell at the end and how you helped her reflect on what was happening at work and shift to an empowered position. Yay that her boss apologized! Reading your case, I’m struck again by the power of coaching to support change—and the grace of your style. Thanks Jen.
Candice
I must say the first thing the hit me was your intake assessment. I spoke with other colleagues about what they use, and I have not yet created one that I like. I think I’m going to get on that as soon as this term is over. I can see how gaining insight at the beginning of a coaching relationship, in this way, can be beneficial. One thing that resonated with me was your client’s words of “I now understand the importance of aligning my work with who I am”. Those are powerful words after all the work you did with her. It brings up something shared with us last term about the layered person. We carry all these layers of who we are, where we have been, what we have learned and how we express ourselves. What we carry is not a burden but a gift. This gift is diversity and when we bring that diversity into a conversation, into our job or into a relationship we share with others a new lens for which to see the world. I appreciated how you guided your client towards these insights.
Amy
Thank you for submitting your coaching. YOU PASSED!!! Congratulations! You had a solid session with your client! She walked away with more clarity and a solid action plan. Good for you! Strengths: You gained clear agreement up front. I liked how you returned at one point to ask her on a scale of 1-10 how important this issue was for her. She deeply respects you which provides such evidence of your ability to connect with her and support her in her ventures. You landed some powerful questions. One revealed deep insight on your part: What steps could help you achieve more clarity? Another was: Who do you need to be to achieve more clarity? Nice! You noticed a shift in her energy and highlighted that. At the end she had a solid action plan with next steps and seemed jazzed to get going. You are a wonderful cheerleader and do very well acknowledging the work she is doing for herself. Jennifer, you have a wonderful future ahead of you. We are so proud of you. You have had quite the year, and you must feel proud of yourself. You have worked hard and you are ready, my friend. Best of luck to you and keep us all posted on how you are doing. Congratulations!
Kathy
