One of the reasons we love working with Jen, is that she is a walking Google for all things wellbeing, leadership development, basically anything where people and organisations are involved
Founding a for-purpose workplace wellbeing consulting practice was partially an accidentβ¦
Iβve joked with people many a time that it was what I did so I didnβt have to go back to law or to the corporate world. Partially true.
The truth is that Intentional Generations (previously βJen Y Insightsβ) was formed from seeing a need for a greater focus on wellbeing and innovating culture within organisations from my own experiences of working in a toxic culture as a fresh, highly empathetic and sensitive graduate in 2014. My own experiences with the devastation that unintentional workplace cultures have (high stress levels among many colleagues and resulting mental health distress, including myself) set me on a 5 year journey to learn everything I could about: people development, workplace wellbeing, mental health, intergenerational collaboration and stress management. Itβs been quite the journey!
Along the way Iβve learned a LOT that I now share via all my social media channels (particularly LinkedIn). You can learn more about my quals below :)
Thank you for being here.
I look forward to learning more about you soon.
Wishing you well,
Jen
