Quarter Life Crisis?
WHO before DO Philosophy
It can be stressful thinking about a college major or a career path. We ask students, "what do you want to do when you graduate?" I would suggest this is the wrong question to ask. What if instead, we asked them, "who do you want to be?" Putting your WHO before your DO allows students to pursue majors and careers in alignment with their passions, purposes, personality preferences, proficiencies, and profit centers. Using her 5P method Jennifer is uniquely gifted at helping students clarify and identify their 5P areas in order to live, study, and work in alignment with their design! Jennifer gets results and has helped hundreds of students one on one discover their WHO in order to more precisely find their DO.

Assessments
Jennifer is certified in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the Strong Interest Inventory, and trained in CliftonStrengths. Other tools include the Knowdell Card Sorts (Motivated Skills and Career Values), as well as her own proprietary systems. Coaching packages are customized based upon the individuals needs and goals.
MBTI: Ever wonder why you are scheduled and plan in advance, but your student seems “selectively motivated?” Well it might just be a personality preference and not pure procrastination. This assessment identifies where one gets energy from, how one takes in information, how one makes decisions, and how one views time. Here are some of the ways the MBTI has helped previous clients:
- Strengths and obstacles in the major/career search
- Communicating
- Decision making
- How one approaches the college or major selection process
Strong Interest Inventory: This is a favorite for those seeking clarity on career and occupational interests. Having worked with hundreds of students, something that is not uncommon is to learn that some are occupationally illiterate. What we mean by this is they are unaware of all the options of careers. The Strong helps sort through what one might like to study, what one enjoys reading, who they enjoy working with, and even leisure activities. Based on the student’s answers a series of occupations that might best fit the student is populated. Many “Aha!” moments have taken place after reviewing a student’s response.
CliftonStrengths: We all have inner genius, we just need to find it and lean into them. Instead of focusing on areas of weakness, this assessment identifies an individuals 5 top strengths and provides insights in how to develop and utilize them. While not a career predictor, it does provide revelation about how one works best and environments where a student would thrive.
Knowdell Card Sorts: These two are career coaching favorites for identifying what skills a student is most motivated when using and what values are most important in one’s career choice. This fun and interactive card game gets students thinking critically about the skills and values that would keep them engaged in their work and in their workplace.
