Healthy Mind, Healthy Life (hybrid delivery) workshop:

“Thank you so much for facilitating the workshop at Emerge last week, especially at such short notice. I have spent the day with our Wellington team today and they were full of praise and have asked if we can get you back regularly! Your warm and engaging manner resonated with the team well. The course was well-pitched to our audience and there was an excellent balance of theory and practical exercises to assist mindfulness. The team also appreciated the honest and open way you shared your own personal journey towards wellbeing. The workshop will be watched and re-watched by many of our staff over the next few weeks and months.”

— Nicola Coom, Group Director of People & Strategy, Emerge Aotearoa

“I was lucky enough to persuade Jen to help us out for a few months at Inspire Group when we had a surge of new learning design work. And lucky is the word- she brought so much more to us through her energy, passion and deep commitment to making a difference to people’s emotional and mental wellbeing. At Inspire, our simple aim is to change lives through better learning. Jen personifies this, and I continue to be amazed by all that she is now accomplishing through Jen Y Insights/Intentional Generations. I highly recommend you connect with her, if you haven’t done so already!”

1:1 Coaching Client:

As soon as I met Jen I knew she would be the right coach for me. We had a lovely connection from our first zoom meeting. I felt valued, listened to and 'seen'. Jen has amazing skills in working out what would best work in each session to get the best out of it for you. I love that she was willing to try out different ways of working (walking coaching calls, visualisation exercises and breathing techniques all featured in my sessions). She was great at adapting each session for what I needed at the time while also always working towards the goals we had set at our first session together. I always came out of my sessions with more energy and clarity on what my next steps could be. I was amazed at how much we covered and how much I learnt and grew over a few months. I am so grateful for the skills I have learned during these sessions and will continue to use throughout my life journey. Thanks so much Jen!

— Sonia Groes-Petrie, Senior Advisor Environmental Protection Authority

Stress, Mental Fitness & Resilience For Students workshop:

“Jen has an incredible ability to connect with anyone of any age, and any background. We were lucky enough to run a workshop with her during Mental Health Awareness Week, which was so timely for many students feeling the pressure of their studies. The three areas Jen focused on - stress, mental fitness and emotional resilience - really resonated with everyone in the room. You could feel everyone's shoulders start to relax, and Jen gave us a safe space for some really vulnerable and open conversations. Her prompts were taken on board, and our student cohort really wants Jen to return to Massey in 2021 for more sessions. Thank you Jen!”

— Ainsley Harris, Co-President Massey Association of Communications Students, 2020

1:1 Coaching Client:

“I had the privilege recently of having some coaching sessions with Jen. Jen had some amazing strategies for me to take on to help me counteract some blocks I had been having. I was overwhelmed with Jen's empathy and patience and humility. I had been going through some challenging periods and Jen allowed me to bring up all the negative triggers that had been preventing me moving forward. I will forever be grateful to Jen for giving me the tools to regain my strength and my power and feel great about myself again. The strategies and tools Jen gave me are helping me rebuild and continue flourishing. I would recommend Jen to anyone who is experiencing blockages and feels unsure about their options both personally and professionally.”

— Tania McCrystal, Comprende Property Management

1:1 Coaching Client:

“In mid-2016 I made a huge transition within my business and asked Jennifer Young (Jen) to coach me through it. Jen's warm, caring manner helped me through the ups and downs. I gained a number of useful insights from her tools and coaching that I still use most days. And most importantly, I successfully made the transition and changed my life, not just my business. I would recommend working with Jen where you need a boost in support and an impartial viewpoint to get you to the next level.”

— Christina Curley Founder and CEO, Upwards Ltd

“Your message really resonated with me. I have two daughters both at early stages in their career. It is really important they are able to hear voices such as yours acknowledging challenges to self belief, and articulating effective responses. Please keep speaking up so your voice can be amplified into the corners that need to hear it.”

— Event attendee, 2018

Self Leadership & Wellbeing team workshop:

"I wanted to thank you. In 2.5 hours, I learnt more about myself than I have in my 56 years. Having run teams of up to 460 members I wish I had the skills that you passed on yesterday to assist not only myself but also each one of them, it would have made for a much more enjoyable work experience for all. I have attended many leadership and training courses over the years and have never left feeling so enlightened"

— Senior Leader, Te Omanga Hospice

Healthy Mind, Healthy Life (customised) online webinar series:

"OMG!! That was AMAZING!!! The warm and approachable tone that you delivered the online workshop was incredibly well received. Mia and I just had a quick chat and can not believe that we had 91 people on the chat and our General Council was on and commented about what a great presentation it was!  THANK YOU! We are so excited that this was such a success!!! We have had so many people reach out asking for the recording because they were not able to attend. I hope you share in that excitement.  Congrats and can’t wait for our next session! You rocked it!"

1:1 Coaching Client:

I had the privilege of working with Jen Y as my coach over a three month period, and it was an incredibly transformative experience. From the very first 15-minute discovery session, I knew that Jen was the right fit for me. Her warm and empathetic nature instantly put me at ease, and I felt comfortable opening up to her about my challenges and aspirations.

Working with Jen has brought about significant changes in various areas of my life. Jen skillfully guided me through exercises and discussions that allowed me to challenge my limiting beliefs and see myself in a new light.

Jen's support in my career development journey has been invaluable. Through thoughtful questioning and self-reflection exercises, she helped me uncover my strengths and what truly brings me joy in order to find a clearer sense of direction in my personal and professional future.

Jen introduced me to an array of resources and provided a wealth of knowledge that has and will continue to help me identify and understand my strengths and passions as well as provide a healthy perspective on pursuing my dreams and embracing the ups and downs that come with growth and learning.

I wholeheartedly recommend Jen Y for anyone seeking personal and professional growth. Jen has a remarkable ability to connect, listen, and guide individuals towards their desired outcomes.

1:1 Coaching Client:

“Jen is a wonderful and empathic coach, and has a combination of enthusiasm and encouragement that encourages self-examination and discussion. Jen provides valuable resources and support. Highly recommend for the one-to-one coaching sessions or workplace coaching and training sessions.”

— Karena Ring, Project Coordinator, Ministry of Education

Slow Down to Speed Up presentation for Tech Emerging Leaders:

“We had the pleasure of hosting Jen Young at our recent FLINT [Future Leaders in Technology] event “how to unplug from your work life during the Christmas break”. She welcomed us all with her warm open arms and really bought the room to her attention. Jen is amazing at engaging her audience and encouraging us all to share ideas/thoughts & comments. The presentation Jen gave really helped the audience understand how to “switch off” from work & social media during the festive period which we can also apply to our daily lives. I am sure I speak for all of us at FLINT that we can’t wait to hear Jen present again at a future event.”

— Cherrie Titheridge, Information Security Analyst at Westpac

1:1 Coaching Client:

“Jen is a talented coach. She was my leadership coach during the Kiwi Fintech Accelerator 2019 and helped me embrace the learning curve and intensity that the 12-week program was offering. She used mindfulness techniques to enabled me to step back and acknowledge the accomplishments of the team, including myself, rather than stressing about what still needed to be done. This change of mindset was important and enabled us to be more confident and focused. If you have the opportunity to work with Jen, take it.”

— Guillaume Dehan, FundaFuture Founder

“During lockdown I began to reflect on the changes life had presented over the past three years and I realised, for the first time in a long time, that I should have a plan for my career and future goals. It wasn’t something I was confident that I could do well, and just as we have coaches or trainers to guide us to physical goals, I found a coach to help me get better at doing life 😊 Karla Haronga had already made me acutely aware of the positive impact of life coaching... and Jen strengthened this!

Together we worked towards me “bringing my best self so I could become my better self” 😊

Jen’s insight, encouragement and ability to reflect back to me things I said but didn’t understand about myself was powerful. I have grown in confidence and self awareness and importantly self kindness which has positive ripples beyond my immediate Whanau.

I still have far to go but Jen helped set the wheels in motion and in an exciting direction! If you need someone to explore being your best with, Jen is pretty amazing 😊”

- Yumiko Olliver, People Leader, Ministry of Education
