"The incredible support, modern thinking processes, and evolved systems for coaching were exactly what I was seeking to incorporate into my coaching practice"

Quick summary

After burning out from a demanding 25-year engineering career, Jenny discovered her calling as a Legacy Coach. The Mindvalley certification provided the modern frameworks and support she needed to help high-achieving professionals create meaningful legacies instead of leaving chaos behind.

I've walked a lot of interesting paths in my life, and worked on many fascinating and interesting projects through my 25-year professional career as an environmental engineer specializing in remediation - but the most difficult remediation project I ever worked on was my own mind, body, and soul. Years of ambitious ladder-climbing, working long hours, entrepreneurial expansion and spinning hundreds of plates at once had caused such extreme levels of stress that eventually, I broke. My health failed, my work faltered, and I found myself caught in a massive avalanche right back to the bottom of the mountain. To make a long story short - it was high time for a fresh start!

My decision to become a Legacy Coach started with my own realization that if I were to be swept off the Earth tomorrow, I was not satisfied with what I had created and left behind for others. I realized that there were a lot of people like me - highly-experienced professionals racing through each day towards the end - leaving nothing but a mess for their loved ones to clean up.

While always learning SOMETHING throughout every stage of life, I started seriously focusing on my own personal development journey with a variety of mentors and coaches back in 2014, and will never stop! I've gone through a number of coaching certification programs, and when I discovered MindValley, it was like a welcoming door opening - the incredible support, modern thinking processes, and evolved systems for coaching were exactly what I was seeking to incorporate into my coaching practice.

Thanks to my MindValley Life Coach certification, I can create a significant impact for my clients and their Legendary Legacy.
