Welcome
Hi, I'm Jennifer.
Whether you’re a people leader or an individual contributor leading a team, I'm thrilled that you are here at the official website of Nielsen Executive Coaching LLC.
I'm a leadership coach, so what does that mean? My life purpose is to support you in your leadership and personal journey to navigate your career growth, elevate you to your full potential, and co-create a life of joy and fulfilment in the midst of today's chaos and ambiguity with zest and grit.
Your inner voice without any checks or balances will sometimes tell you 1) not to take risks, 2) hold you back out of fear of failure or making mistakes, 3) being judged by others, doing what others expect of you, and so on and so forth.
The noise in your head can be so distracting, debilitating, and annoying. This voice, called the Inner Critic, is very loud and it speaks to you with the intent to keep you safe and comfortable (acting from a high need for security) or as aggressive, intimidating, and controlling (from your high desire for independence). I listened to my own inner critic and negative self-talk for over 30 years before I got coached.
Now, I make it my mission to partner with others get out of that negative head space and learn how to tune out the LIES (YES, LIES!) and turn on our inner wisdom (it is there, just suppressed so long by our default inner critic voice).
I am your coach if your inner voice says these things like:
- I’m not worthy of…
- I’m not capable of…
- I’m not good enough…
- I shouldn’t do this now…
- I can’t ask for…that is selfish
- I am irritated at…or about…
- I cannot change this…
- I can’t deal with…
- I can’t work with this…or person…
- I need it this way or else it won’t work out…
- It’s their (his/her) problem, not mine…
- I will upset someone…
Together, we can assess the current challenges you are facing that hinders you from truly living your best life and feeling like your best self. Your real voice (what others hear) is a manifestation of your inner energy. Let's work from the inside out.

“Jennifer trained our senior managers on the value of owning their career, taking calculated risks, and becoming brand ambassadors for our company. Her training opened their eyes to the leadership skills, self-awareness and networks they need to succeed in our highly competitive market. She was a pleasure to work with and she effectively managed the content development and delivery. I highly recommend her as she was engaging and fun as well as focused on honing in on the learning and skills development needs of the team.”

“Work is stressful? Need to talk it through with someone without boundaries and work politics? You feel you lack certain skills and need advice? You need Jennifer as your professional coach! I so far had 8 sessions with Jennifer and they have been very effective. Jennifer helps you think through your topic that you pick in a way that at the end of the day it is your decision. She walks you through your thought process and make you decide. I like to call it professional therapy.”

“I recently participated in monthly professional coaching sessions with Jennifer Nielsen and I would definitely recommend it! I have already mentioned to several coworkers and friends how helpful the process has been. Before starting, I expected professional coaching to provide general tips for networking, writing professionally, etc. After the first session, I realized it is more comprehensive and ultimately much more helpful. Jennifer helped me learn how to think about the bigger picture of my career. Most of my peers, a few years out of college, are focused only on immediate next steps. After working with Jennifer I was able to shift my mindset to focus on my long-term career goals, while figuring out practical and specific steps to take in the short-term. I also found that Jennifer’s style of coaching balanced really well between listening and guiding the discussion. Overall, I would say that the process teaches you how to think more effectively and then how to apply that thinking to all areas of your professional life. It’s a very worthwhile investment for anyone looking to further their career!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer. She transformed my life. In 2016, I saw myself drifting through life aimlessly and in the beginning of 2017, I knew I wanted to change that, but I did not know how. Through my sessions with Jennifer, I discovered that I wanted more out of my career and wanted to become more comfortable talking to people. Jennifer helped me realize that I have control over the direction of my life and that I do not need to wait for opportunities to come to me. I now make it a point to approach people and talk to them. I am now finishing projects that I started rather than giving up when things get rough. I now take a lot more initiative and work more to create new innovations for my company. I earned an AWS certification in spite of things getting busy in my life. I completed a data science study and published a blog post about it. I also completed my first half-marathon even though I hadn’t run a long-distance race in three years. Because of these accomplishments, I see that the steps I am taking with Jennifer’s coaching will lead to greater fulfillment in my life and greater advancement in my career because I have gained a lot more perspective, energy and discipline to help any business advance. I highly recommend Jennifer as your executive coach.”

“Working with Jennifer, I learned a great deal about what is important to me in a career and I was able to identify what I needed in order to feel fulfilled through my work. She asked the right questions while also giving me the space I needed to arrive at my own answers. She also provided me with some great exercises which I will continue to use in the future. I was able to be open about feeling somewhat lost in my career and we worked through identifying where I wanted to head and how to get there. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for clarity in their professional career – you will definitely be in great hands!”
