Jessica has 15 years’ experience in the learning and development field as a training facilitator in all areas of impact and communication skills.
She qualified as an advanced practitioner executive coach in 2013 with the Academy of Executive Coaching.
She is currently undertaking the foundation year of psychotherapy training to support her work as a coach and deepen her understanding of how to unlock people’s potential.
Following a degree in Social Anthropology from Cambridge University, Jessica worked for commercial property development firm HRO International in Paris before retraining as an actress. She brings her experience of the corporate and acting worlds together in her approach to people development, with an understanding of the challenges and pressures of the corporate environment, and her own journey of growing self-awareness acquired through her training and work as an actress.
Over the years she has helped develop the communication skills of employees in companies ranging from major financial institutions, transport companies, pharmaceutical companies, to manufacturing and IT.
“My great belief stemming from my own life experience is that as humans we have great potential to change, and most of us aspire to work on and improve ourselves and our relationships with others. Oftentimes however, learned patterns of behaviour have become so much part of our sense of identity that we cannot see how they may no longer be serving a useful purpose, and instead hinder our ability to communicate effectively and maintain healthy work and personal relationships. I love to be alongside people as they grow their self-awareness and start to make different choices in what they do and how they do it, in order to achieve the outcomes they desire.”
