JAYEM is my calling. I want to share my journey in hopes that I can inspire and/or help others with their journeys.
I was a little kid with a vivid imagination, who loved school and was a “tad” (okay maybe “A LOT”) bossy who grew up to be a big kid who is creative, is always learning and who is a leader who loves to inspire others so that they can find fulfillment in their careers.
My 20+ career path has zigged and zagged and it has been filled with excitement, and sometimes fear. But most importantly it has been a completely satisfying ride. I have worked in corporate, education and have become an entrepreneur. But the one constant in my career is that I have ALWAYS followed my passion and found a way to love what I do…most days!
I loved my career so much I was determined to not let cancer take that away from me. And it did not. But it definitely changed how I viewed my life and career, so I happily pivoted and subsequently thrived.
But at the end of 2019, my cancer returned. This time more aggressively than the last time and I was shook. Everything I knew had to change, including my career, so this time I reluctantly pivoted. But guess what? I am still thriving.
Cancer was a significant life event that brought me to my calling…JAYEM.

Jennifer was very open in her commentaries and feedback. She facilitated each session with genuine Interest and sincere enthusiasm. Jennifer enabled a lot of discussion within the group and expressed a genuine desire to help us manage and accept change. It was a pleasure sitting in her sessions, and I look forward to the possibility of attending any future sessions she may be involved with within our company.

I knew Jenn was the right choice. When it was time to seek assistance with career coaching, I appreciated that she interviewed me to get the understanding of what my exceptions were and helped me set about a plan to accomplish them. Jenn not only helped to improve my resume and LinkedIn Profile, but she also bolstered my confidence at the same time. I can’t say enough about her talent and how appreciative I am.

It was a true pleasure to participate in Jennifer’s “Your Career After” workshop. Her experience and enthusiasm for what she does really shines through. Jennifer has incredible knowledge and understanding of the many ways to present your skills and how to use social media sites and platforms to get your message and content across. Her passionate story-telling approach to career coaching is a unique, effective, and infectious way to share information. She clearly works hard to stay current on needs and trends in the HR industry. The combination of Jennifer’s experience, knowledge, and spirit makes her a valuable resource. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is looking to grow or pivot in their career.

She makes the work achievable by continually checking in and establishing a clear and precise action plan that is easy to execute. HIGHLY recommend working with JAYEM!!!!

I feel much more confident when updating my resume and LinkedIn after gong through this workshop. The materials and handouts were all very helpful and I will use them in the future as I get back into the workforce. I would recommend this to anyone looking to start interviewing. It sets you up for success.

I thoroughly enjoyed this three-part series. Jennifer has a real knack for being able to take a lot of info, breaking it down and teaching others in a fun and engaging way. You are amazing Jenn.
Jennifer Emmerson (Workshop Participant)
We were most fortunate to have Jennifer host a workshop series, “Your Career After...Cancer,” as part of the program of support we offer at Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka for all who are living with the impact of a cancer diagnosis. We owe much to Jennifer for the incredible amount of time, attention to detail, research, preparation, and planning that she put into this remarkable series. Our participants provide overwhelming feedback to her tangible strategies, caring and empowering demeanor, and vast knowledge of current trends and ever-changing realities of the job market. She was able to tailor, in real-time, her weekly offerings to the evolving and very personal needs of the participants. Clear, measurable, and most discernible performance outcomes are indicative of the incredible impact Jennifer’s talent, skill, and professionalism has had on those who participated in the series. A real pleasure to partner in this innovative offering, we look forward to working with Jennifer again in the near future.
