Testimonials

I've had executive coaches in the past and this was hands down a different experience with Jennifer. 

Jennifer has proven to be professional, thoughtful and insightful in her questions as she has encouraged me to explore perspectives not previously considered.  This coaching relationship has helped me make significant positive changes not only in my professional career, but as well in my personal life.  I have had several coaches over the years, but none have proven to have Jennifer’s ability to connect at a personal level, and provide an environment where I have been comfortable sharing my challenges.  Her ability and desire to move beyond personal coaching and into organizational change, to include insight on design and drive on execution and accountability has proven invaluable to me over the years.

I very much appreciate you. While you definitely helped coach me through the promotion process that’s ongoing, your feedback and conversations on many topics have truly helped me deal with what could have definitely been a mind-kerfuffle to deal with. I don’t know how I could say thank you more, but on the topic of legacy, you have made your mark on me.

I participated in a staff retreat facilitated by Jennifer Campbell with about 40 of my colleagues. I learned a lot about myself as well as my colleagues and had a fun time as well. I also enjoyed the coaching and feedback refresher as these skills always come in handy. Jennifer had a relaxed and engaging style which I feel kept me focused over the two days. She was flexible and adaptable while still keeping us on track and on time. Thanks, Jennifer!

I really enjoyed working with you over the last couple of years. I’ve always admired the way in which you handle yourself and push others towards greatness. You have for sure made an impact on me personally and professionally!

A million thank yous. You are a very big part of the success I and the leadership team have had. Few realize just how valuable your contributions are.

Loved this session! Engaging, informative, interesting!

Thank you both for helping me with the training session.  It was on point and I appreciated the details that you filled into the concepts to help it hit home.  We have already been able to change the vocabulary in the shops for coachable moments and feedback which was one of my objectives.

Jennifer is an awesome teacher. Well presented and love your energy and attitude! Thank you for giving us this opportunity to learn more. 

AIM Changer is a really engaging program on an important, ever-changing topic. 

Conversational Leadership was a great part of our New Manager Conference. Jennifer presented practical tools I can use right away to improve my first-time manager skills. 

The AIM Changer content is rich and has a practical focus to help lead teams through change. Jen is a dynamic facilitator with tons of experience and relevant examples that bring the content to life.

Jen, thank you! Getting a room full of introverts, with a token representation of extraverts, to willingly volunteer their opinions is not for the feint of heart, nor the short on energy or grit. I feel that you have given the team the confidence to ‘find another gear’ and I’m excited about what we are going to accomplish.

This course is super valuable. I loved the personal change journey and seeing how I can impact others to move through change successfully. Jennifer and Rebecca know their stuff and facilitate truly effective learning.

When I decided to make a career path change back to consultancy, I knew it was likely I would achieve a more successful transition if I invested in some one on one coaching with Jen.  Jen had worked with me when I was in the client role, so she understood my strengths and values and helped me reexamine and tap into those, so I could build a sustainable practice around bringing those skills to assist my clients.  Jen enabled me to focus on what tangible steps I could take, and kept me accountable for pacing my expectations of myself as I made the transition.  I am so happy where I am right now and will carry Jen's feedback and wisdom forward with me.  Thanks so much Jen!

Thanks so much for your leadership and the conversation today.  The listening and the thoughts, opportunities and challenges you shared with the team were exemplary.

Thanks again for your fabulous Talking Change presentation this afternoon! We had over 214 people in attendance, which is among our highest ever for the Continuous Improvement Speaker Series. You are a very articulate and effective speaker, and I love how engaging your session was. I took a lot of notes myself about how to facilitate engaging sessions.
 
Thanks again for helping us promote continuous improvement and good change management in state government!

I'm the perfect example that coaching works...I did everything you recommended and now I have my own business doing my dream job! 

I have tremendous respect for the quality of work Jen produces, her ability to organize multiple tasks with ease, to jump into a project and see the priorities, a just-get-it-done attitude, and an easy way of rallying a team. She adds value to every project we have worked on and it is always a pleasure to partner with Jen on a team or 1:1.

Jen is an excellent facilitator and thought-provoking leader. We had an excellent two-day full team workshop that really energized us to focus on new ways of working. We left having a better understanding of each other and how we add value to the overall organization. No time was wasted, and her questions and delivery allowed us to put everything into perspective. Would highly recommend her to help teams discover their strengths, build consensus, develop lasting processes, and grow their confidence.   

This a very meaningful amount of work that required everyone’s contributions. There were significant change management challenges and a lot of time required to execute on training, portals, communications and content. Thank you very much to everyone for your contributions. But a very special thank you to Jennifer, whose change and project management skills are second to none and helped us both execute on all the tiny details and pull together the big picture. 

The two-day workshop was truly impactful for me. By the end of the first day, I felt a renewed sense of team bonding and camaraderie. The second day was even more significant as we tackled key issues and challenges, ultimately reaching agreements on our way forward. Your role in structuring the activities and discussions was crucial in bringing out the best in everyone. You created an environment where we felt safe and respected, which allowed for difficult conversations to take place. After three years with the team, I felt I got to know my teammates better than ever during those two days. I felt empowered to drive change in our operating model and create meaningful efficiencies for the team. I learned valuable techniques, including the three-point coaching method, insights into influencing skills, and the importance of human relations and interaction. Thank you for guiding us through this process. 

You are incredible! I don’t know how you do it, but you are always so on point and so fast! Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. I completely agree with your recommendations and will share your feedback with my performance manager. I also very much appreciate your offer to help me brainstorm ideas to address challenges and may take you up on that in the future. 

 

Thank you Jennifer! One of the best webinars I have participated in recently. Smart and simple!  I love the simplicity of this model thank you! Great information. 

Jennifer provided HSWC's leadership team with a fantastic leadership capacity building program that focused on celebrating and enhancing the collaborative and feminist approach we take to managing our diverse teams.

Thank you so much for presenting the PSCP webinar today. We had a good turn out and a lot of positive engagement. Everyone had wonderful things to say during your presentation. They loved the simple models, the great information and we had a good discussion about what conversations they could have to make change more successful!

[The Leadership@ Program provided] relevant course material, excellent guidance and coaching with information that I will refer back to again and again. Highly recommended.

Jen was a pivotal member of my senior leadership team, serving in a strategic operations role and a dedicated coaching position. She possesses a rare combination of skills, seamlessly linking high-level strategic insight with a strong, execution-oriented focus.

Her ability to understand the "big picture" and the organization's strategic direction, then effectively enabling the execution of that strategy is invaluable. Jen has an exceptional knack for identifying needs and driving results.

Across all her endeavors, Jen consistently leverages her deep expertise in change management and extensive professional services experience. This unique blend allows her to make leaders, teams, and entire organizations markedly more effective, impactful, and simply better.

Jen Campbell is an engaging presenter with a wealth of knowledge that she is able to articulate in a manner that allows the participant to go away with concrete skills to initiate change in a respectful manner. As a manager, Jen gives you the tools to be able to navigate the intricacies of different perspectives and hurdles that you may come across in working with a wide variety of individuals.

Jen and I began our journey together in 2022, when she supported me through the transition from Library CEO to Municipal CAO. Her guidance and coaching helped me steady my uncertainty and navigate moments of wavering confidence as I shifted from one leadership role to another. She worked with me to set clear benchmarks for my initial goals and to prepare my new team for the significant changes ahead.

Together, we went on to develop one of my favourite strategic plans. Council’s plan has served as our true north for the past three and a half years and will remain a benchmark for any future planning we undertake.

I am deeply grateful for my ongoing relationship with Jen. I leave every conversation feeling grounded, capable, and inspired to strive for even better.

I didn’t think it was my place to ask too many ‘why’ questions – why are we doing this? Why now? I was given the project to manage and told to make it happen. The Planning and Managing Conversations have given me the tools and the right approach to ask why and engage people in the right conversations. Now we are all on the same page and I feel confident we’ll get to a great result.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer as both a colleague and more recently as a client. She is an exceptional consultant and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for executive coaching support; to develop and execute a key business strategy, or to design and deliver an impressive learning or meeting experience for any size group. Jennifer literally connects with everybody; she has a positive and sunny outlook that is infectious, yet she is also business focused and able to zero in on addressing critical business and cultural issues. Her insights, expertise, and sense of humour are an unbeatable combination.

I will use these tools when I start the change management conversations with my business leads. I feel more prepared to guide the business to help them build their change management plans and for me to identify the risks of the change.

I have enjoyed working with Jen on a global optimization project and really value her professional insights and input. She is skillful at introducing clear and concise frameworks with a firm direction and plan. Jen assured success of our change management activities by introducing a process that could be operationalized and built into a continuous improvement cycle, including all collaterals to support it. Very analytical and with a keen eye for details, she is also pragmatic and suggests realistic cost-effective strategies that work.

Now I know who the right people are to have at the table, how to position things with clients, and how to engage in meaningful conversations about change.

Thank you. This [company sale] transaction took a lot of effort from many people for the good outcome, including you.  Your steady hand, attention to detail and great judgement made a huge difference – I always felt supported and knew you had my back – the ultimate trust that is so precious.

I'm really grateful for the support that I've gotten from you over the last year and the fact that our journey started with a 6-month commitment and has continued on for over a year, really says volumes about how much you've helped me. I needed a guide, and you helped me figure out where to start and to stay on track with the major transformational work I was undertaking. You helped to keep me accountable for what I was committing to doing. And in making that shift from one sector to another, the impostor syndrome was pretty significant, and you gave me a lot more confidence to achieve my goal. 

Watch Elizabeth's conversation with Jen about working together. 

It was great to focus on me for a change. This was a great opportunity for me to just stop and look ahead at the path that I’m on and make sure it’s the right one.

Working with Jen has been incredibly successful and personally rewarding. Together, we established clear goals and I committed to concrete actions for the career change I wanted to accomplish within a short timeframe. During our coaching sessions I became self aware of my professional attributes, skills, and values, and as a result, gained the confidence to achieve my career change within six months. Jen and I continue our regular sessions which now focus on a number of other positive changes I want to achieve in my life.

Through coaching with Jen I was able to identify what was stopping me from getting what I want out of life. I have become conscious of my inner voices and aware of what I am capable of. Highly recommended in a period of transition or change!

Jen's insight and guidance are remarkable. She has helped me identify challenges, opportunities and patterns in the various aspects of my life and to seek the changes I want.

Through working with Jen, I’ve become more self-aware and conscious of the choices and decisions I make. I’ve incorporated ideas that we talk about during our sessions into my life already. It feels good and it feels different.

I am amazed at where the conversation sometimes goes and places it takes me to in terms of actionable items. Jen has helped me look at situations from new perspectives, which has lead me to make positive changes in my life.
