Coaching Approach and Style
Jamie brings a contagious enthusiasm, an open mind, and a completely judgement free attitude to all that she does and to all that she meets. Having navigated many of her own changes and challenges both personally and professionally, Jamie values and respects the situations, circumstances, and aspirations of those she has the privilege of knowing, coaching, and lifting.
As a coach, Jamie believes that to truly have a transformational experience, individuals must be committed to their own growth and do the internal work that it requires.
