Helping High-Achieving Leaders Navigate Career Transitions With Confidence and Clarity

Especially women ready to lead unapologetically at work and in life

1.jpg

My Why:

After nearly two decades at Dell Technologies commanding rooms across eight countries, I discovered something revealing: Even the most accomplished professionals, especially women, often feel isolated in transition. They show up strong while quietly asking, ‘Is it just me?’  

I'm here to tell you: It's not just you.

That promotion you're eyeing but secretly wondering if you deserve? That perfectly good job you're thinking of leaving because your soul is screaming for more? That moment when life throws you a curveball and you're frantically juggling all the pieces?

I've been there, done that, have the battle scars and victory stories to prove it!

That's why I created JC New Beginnings.

I'm done:

  • Watching brilliant leaders navigate transitions alone

  • The "I should handle this myself" mentality that keeps us isolated.

  • Watching organizations lose exceptional talent because they don't understand what we're really dealing with.​

Ready for some honest truth?

Transformation is messy. Transitions are tough. But with the right strategies and support, they become your most powerful stepping stones to a life that makes you want to high-five yourself daily.

Who I Serve

Unstoppable Executives & Leaders

You’ve built a strong career—and now you’re asking, “What’s next?”

You’re a high-achieving professional (typically 35–60) who’s been the go-to, the rock, the high-performer. But lately, the things that used to drive you… don’t hit the same.


You’ve outgrown the version of success you once chased, but the next move isn’t obvious.

Whether you're:

  • Leading through change while managing real-life transitions

  • Rebuilding after a layoff, loss, or identity shake-up

  • Ready to grow without grinding yourself into the ground

  • Or just tired of carrying it all alone…

You don’t need more advice. You need space to recalibrate—and a strategy to rise.

And like at least 50% of my clients, you're juggling these career shifts alongside personal transitions that nobody at work fully understands—from empty nests to full-time eldercare, from geographic moves to relationship evolutions.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Organizations That Get It

Retention, engagement, and leadership growth don’t happen by chance—especially during times of change.

I partner with forward-thinking companies who understand that their most valuable talent—often women navigating life and career transitions—need more than just policies. They need support, strategy, and space to lead.

When you invest in your people’s growth, confidence, and clarity, you don’t just keep your top performers.
You multiply their impact.

I deliver the mindset shifts, leadership tools, and real-talk your team needs to stay engaged, confident, and ready for what’s next.

When organizations bring me in, they’re not checking a box, they’re investing in leadership that lasts.
Whether it’s a keynote, workshop, or executive coaching series, I help your people lead with clarity, own their impact, and grow forward, no matter the season they’re in.

How We'll Transform Together

Because guesswork is exhausting, and generic coaching won’t cut it.

01

Confidence Amplification

You’ve done big things but doubt still shows up when everything is shifting. Together, we rewire your mindset so your presence, decisions, and voice reflect the powerhouse you actually are.

Because when your confidence is unshakable, everything around you changes.

02

Identity Realignment

You’ve evolved and the way you lead needs to evolve too. We redefine what success looks like now, so your values, goals, and leadership presence match the version of you that's emerging.

Because growth demands alignment, not autopilot.

03

Leadership Legacy Activation

You’re not here to play small. Whether you’re mentoring others, leading teams, or redefining your career—this is about building meaningful, visible impact that lasts.

Because your leadership isn’t accidental—it’s intentional.

04

Strategic Pivot Planning

You're not lost—you’re recalibrating. We clarify your goals, map out your next strategic move, and help you communicate your value so people don’t just see your resume—they see your results.

Because you’re not starting over. You’re starting smarter.

These aren’t abstract concepts, they’re the core shifts that help my clients rise with clarity, lead with purpose, and build what’s next on their own terms.

My Podcast: We are Women, Unapologetically

Because shift happens—but you don’t have to do it alone.

This isn’t just another podcast. It’s a call to reclaim your power, especially when life and work feel out of sync.


Each week, I sit down solo or with powerhouse women to unpack what it really takes to lead through change. From career pivots to confidence rebuilds, burnout to breakthroughs.

No sugarcoating. No surface talk. Just real conversations about the good, bad, ugly and awesome parts of being a high-achieving professional evolving in real time.

If you’ve ever felt like you were supposed to have it all figured out by now, this space is for you.

🎧 Listen or watch on Youtube, Spotify, or wherever you tune in.

Why Choose Me As Your Guide

Because I’ve been the high-achiever, the only woman in the room, the one holding it together while everything was shifting underneath.

I’m not coaching from theory, I’m coaching from experience.

Business Meets Humanity

I spent nearly 20 years in the tech industry, leading global teams, navigating complex transitions, and building teams across 8 countries. I know what high-stakes leadership looks like and I know how isolating it can feel when you're in it alone.

Been in Your Heels (and Flats)

I’ve launched teams, survived toxic cultures, cared for loved ones while leading meetings, and rebuilt after loss—personal and professional. My journey isn’t polished, but it’s powerful. And it taught me how to coach professionals through real transformation.

 

Whole-Life Alignment (No BS)

This isn’t about surface-level confidence. This is about helping you recalibrate your mindset, your strategy, and your energy so you can lead with intention and feel like yourself again.

Because your work doesn’t exist in a vacuum and neither does your growth.

What I Stand For

These aren’t just buzzwords, they’re my blueprint for how I lead, coach, and live.

Truth Over Perfection: I’d rather be real than polished. Growth is messy—and worth it.

Confidence Without Apology: Your voice is powerful. You don’t need to shrink to lead.

Action Over Approval: We don’t wait for permission—we build the plan and move.

Legacy Over Hype: I’m not here to help you “go viral.” I’m here to help you build something that lasts.

Support Without Judgment: There’s no shame in needing a reset. This is a space to rise.

 

If you see yourself in these, we’ll get along just fine.

Results That Make Waves

Real Professionals. Real wins. Real transformation.

This isn’t about temporary inspiration, it’s about long-term elevation.

Here’s what happens when high-achieving professionals stop playing small and start leading with confidence, clarity, and conviction.

"I hired Jessica to work with both myself and my leadership team as I looked to take my business to the next level after 15+ years as an owner. Each of my leadership team members engaged in individual coaching with Jessica for six months, but the impact was evident within just a few weeks.

 

When I later considered selling my business, I turned to Jessica again. Without her guidance, the sale might not have happened. She helped me uncover what was holding me back, understand my resistance, and develop a clear path forward. As a result, I successfully sold my business for seven figures.

 

Now, I'm working with Jessica again as I transition the business to its new owner and embark on my next chapter."

Paula A.
Founder and COO 

"I got so much out of my coaching sessions with Jessica, I highly recommend working with her! She really listened to what I was saying and asked just the right thought-provoking questions to help me figure out what I need to do to reach my goals and actually make a plan that will get me there. I am now well on my way to starting my new business and it feels great!"   

Jessica A
Founder and CEO

I’ll admit, I was skeptical about hiring a coach. After more than 30 years as a CFO for both privately and publicly held companies, I thought I had things figured out. But looking back now, I honestly don’t know how I managed without one.

Jessica brings a rare combination of insight, empathy, and strategic thinking. She truly listens and helps me navigate challenges in a way that feels both safe and empowering. Her ability to create space for real reflection while guiding me toward practical, actionable solutions has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Working with Jessica has had a significant impact on how I lead, make decisions, and prioritize what truly matters. I’m grateful for the clarity, confidence, and perspective she’s helped me gain. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
