Imagination leads individuals towards the free expression of their true selves and the achievement of their true goals. Collaborative leadership supports groups towards productive and satisfying teamwork.

Jessica is a great coach. She has the great ability to using creative expression to bring out the best in her clients. Jessica’s creative approach to coaching helped push me towards my goals, even though I am very analytically minded. Her encouragement and spirit have caused me to strive to be the best version of myself. I recommended her services.

additional testimonials

I am most impressed by Jessica’s ability of incorporating her life long love for art and her artistic talent into coaching conversations. Her use of metaphors and the ability of stimulating my imagination helped me visually envision what I truly want for my life. In addition, her sense of social responsibility and compassion for all lives has been an inspiration for me. I think many people overly rely on logic thinking to find answers to life’s open-ended questions. Jessica can help people connect more with their heart and their creative energy.
— Lily Qin
