Transformational Coaching
Lead As You Are (LAYA)

For multicultural professionals successful on paper, but unhappy on the inside

You’ve spent a lifetime adapting - between cultures, identities, and expectations.

You know how to perform. How to show up. How to succeed.

But lately, something in you is asking for a change.

Not more titles or to-do lists.

More meaning. More freedom. More you.

But right now, you might be feeling :

❌ Disconnected & Discontent like a hollow ache where your spark used to be.

❌ Stuck & Scattered trapped in a self-made cage of doubts and expectations.

❌ Unfulfilled & Unsettled waking up wondering, “Is this all there is?”

What You Might Crave (Even If You Haven’t Said It Out Loud Yet):

  • To feel lighter and at home in your own skin whether you’re in Paris, Peru, or your parents’ guest room

  • To step into your power so effortlessly that people naturally look to you for guidance

  • To bust the “what if I’m failing?” loop

  • To trust your gut as your built-in compass rooted in who you truly are

Lead As You Are: A Season of Becoming

Lead As You Are is a 9-month journey of inner leadership and authentic transformation

for multicultural, multi-identity humans, and lifelong shape-shifters who are ready to come home to themselves and step into a new way of being.

This is where the rush quiets. The noise softens. And the real you begins to emerge—clear, steady, unapologetically whole.

Through five powerful phases of growth, you’ll explore:

  • Reconnecting with your values, emotions, and inner compass

  • Creating vision and direction that’s actually yours

  • Building real, embodied confidence

  • Owning your voice, power, and presence—without shape-shifting

  • Practicing resilience and self-trust for the long haul

With support that meets you where you are:

  • Private 1:1 coaching

  • Intimate group coaching sessions

  • A global community of kindreds

  • Practical tools you’ll carry with you long after the journey ends

  • John, Audiobook Narrator

    “I'm so glad I chose Jess as my coach when I wanted to take my project to the next level. She created a great environment for our conversations where I felt safe to be vulnerable and ask the big questions. She helped me find the clarity and confidence to move forward, and along the way I learned things, self-awareness techniques, guides to emotional intelligence, and truths about myself that have had impacts in the rest of my life.”

  • Courtney, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    “Jessica was a wonderful coach who really took the time to listen to my goals, even when I wasn't clear about them, and tailor our sessions to make the most out of our time together. She approached issues in a way that worked for me and checked in regularly during our sessions to make sure I was comfortable. She is a very kind and empathetic person, and her coaching has helped me immeasurably over the six months we worked together.”

  • S. Coyle, Director / Writer / Producer

    “Working with Jessica has been a wonderful experience, I have seen clear results on my goals over the last 6 months. I found it very helpful to have someone to break down what I want and create a practical plan on how to get there. Jessica makes our sessions very comfortable and without judgement she is able to steer our sessions in the right direction, giving me room to explore what it is that I need that day. With some of her exercises I am able to gain a clear perspective on my growth and accomplishments which helps encourage me to embrace my successes, no matter how small. She really works with what I need as an individual and I feel the sessions are catered uniquely for each person. She listens to my opinion on the exercises and is able to shift it if something is not working. I highly recommend working with Jessica, it has been one of the best investments for myself.”

  • Tim, Costa Rica

    “Jessica was an excellent listener and I appreciated the whole program she offered me! Together we were able to create a pattern and routine that brought me to a greater awareness of my feelings. She helped me find tools and understanding to navigate my personal feelings related to daily life.”

  • Ross Morton, MD, New Brunswick, Canada

    “At a time of major change in my life, I realized that I had to alter habits which had stood me in good stead previously, but were no longer helpful. Changing the habits of a life time requires commitment and guidance. I decided to look to Jessica for that guidance. During the Coaching Sessions I was challenged to respond to my own questions using techniques I had not considered before. Jessica directed me to uncover resources which were within me that allowed me the space to identify and respond to stressful events and gave me the ability to take the time required to answer new challenges. Through guided visualization, I learned to access a surprising and powerful inner strength. I have found this strength very useful ever since.

    I recommend Jessica as a Coach for anyone who is ready to challenge themselves to adapt to change and to move forward towards the life they want.”

  • Elizabeth, New Brunswick, Canada

    “Being coached by Jessica for the past seven months has been an amazing, rewarding, painful, joyful, and worthwhile journey of discovery! With insight, sensitivity, and her unique creative skill, Jess has helped me to grow, to expand my horizons; to find within me the power, creativity and resourcefulness to meet certain difficulties and challenges. There were many surprises along the way.  I felt as if Jess had the map, led me to the spot, encouraged me to dig....and there was treasure!! I highly recommend Jess as a coach. She worked wonders for me and I am very grateful!”

This Is Leadership, Redefined

This isn’t about job titles.  It’s about how you lead your life - in your relationships, your choices, your presence.

Be the leader of your own life

Because when you live as you are, you lead as you are.

And that changes everything.

You don’t need to change who you are. You just need to remember.

This is your season of becoming.
