  • "Her process just opens up a different world of narrative which comes from digging into your own personal story in order to authentically share that with the world in a digestible way. I have worked with leading narrative and branding consultants in the industry who are incredibly well respected, but what Jessica is able to accomplish is incredibly unique and special.”

    Blair Silverberg | CEO, Hum Capital

  • "While our sessions often made my palms sweat, I still felt safe enough to be vulnerable with her in a way that few Swedish men would risk, even among close friends."

    Carl Hasselskog | CEO, InstaBridge

  • "What Jessica provides is a safe haven that challenges me to be a better leader while staying true to myself. 'Storytelling coach' is deceiving; Jessica has way more to offer and our topics have ranged from people management, public speaking, to relationships, negotiations and more. She asks great questions that get me thinking and reflecting, and gives me clarity and power when dealing with tricky situations."
