Terry Terhark, CEO The NXThing RPO
Jen Todd was life and career changing for me. I was able to identify my purpose, a clear connected and meaningful vision, understand who I am, what I am destined to do and how to get there with clarity and focus I have never seen before.
Halie Stapleton, Senior Manager
Coaching with Jen Todd was life altering work. While my coaching sessions were professional in nature – it was also deeply personal and I did soul work asked of me because her coaching was saturated in trust. She is quite profound in authentic, transformative, and change leadership and development.
Micheal - Assistant Vice President, Fortune 100 Company
There is a distinct difference in my leaders that were trained and developed by breakthrough partners. The team has increased confidence and skills in coaching, influencing executives, and designing and facilitating impactful change with all levels in the organization. Their increase in effectiveness as change leaders has been an advantage and key success factor in achieving our organizational goals.
Jenny Friedle, Online Service Manager
I thank and credit Jen Todd for helping me get to the level of Zen I am in today….figuring out my career/life/health balance has really paid off in the years following our coaching sessions. It really shifted the course of my life.
Stephen - Senior Manager – Technology and Operation, Fortune 100 Financial Services Co
My experience with leadership transformation sessions with breakthrough partners was not only critical to our organization’s future success, but it was personally one of the only times in my career where I felt fully energized, engaged and able to bring my whole self to work. It was a life-changing experience.
Elizabeth Roll, Director
Jen Todd reminds me of Flavia Weedn’s words, “Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.” Coaching with Jen was the beginning of a transformational pivot in my life and work and she will always hold a special place in my journey. I more fully engage in my work, create a greater impact and found deeper fulfillment.
Jack Elsey - Chief Innovation and Incubation Officer, Chicago Public Schools
Jen has the unique ability to motivate significant professional growth through the right combination of insightful questions, just-in-time resources, and honest feedback. Her supportive-yet-accountable approach ensured that, even during the toughest weeks, I still carved out the necessary time and focus on my own professional growth. I highly endorse Jen for anyone seeking a coaching catalyst for improvement.

As an Executive and Leadership Coach, I help people transform their lives, lead with impact and achieve their greatest visions and goals.

I went on personal purpose journey to start a girls and women's empowerment mission in rural Africa, which led me to adopting my beautiful daughter and developing a purpose roadmap process that is now offered to my clients (see my free roadmap below!)
After dealing with great loss of my parents and the stresses of COVID-19 and local tragedies, I became a certified Grief Educator, trained in trauma-informed practices and mind-heart-body-soul wellness which is embedded into my holistic approach to personal transformation.
