Jenn is an Academic, Career + Life Coach using mindfulness practices and 10+ years of marketing, management, and mentoring experience to guide you in working to live for the life you dream of, while being your authentic self at work.

For years Jenn struggled with understanding the kind of life she wanted. On paper her resume and accomplishments looked great. She was quickly climbing the ladder with yearly promotions, even winning a few industry awards. Jenn was functioning, however felt like all that she was doing was working and missing out on some great life experiences. Then at one of the lowest moments in her life, her dad told her, “no vivimos para trabajar, trabajamos para vivir” – “we don’t live to work, we work to live”.  From that moment on, she started working on herself and living her own roadmap.

Doing it on your own can be challenging. Having someone who will solely focus on supporting you in clarifying your goals, identifying any obstacles holding you back, and then coming up with strategies for overcoming them is helpful. This is what I do. I help those who feel drained and burned out figure out what they really love to do, so they can create a life worth working and living for.

Specialties:

I can help you work through navigating burnout, taking a personal sabbatical, life purpose and fulfillment, creating a life vision, career transition, change, or redirection, cultural identity and belonging, communication and relationships, getting unstuck, time management and prioritizing, making a big decision (life or career), creating healthy habits and boundaries, and building a strategic and creative resume.

I can help with:

·        Resumes - cover letters - interviewing

·        Job search strategies

·        Career transition

·        Networking - personal branding

·        Lifelong learning strategies

Dina-Marie facilitates safe spaces of transformation by unleashing the leadership abilities of creatives, entrepreneurs, and business vagabonds who affect social change through innovation, seek success on their own terms, and don’t shy away from the proverbial spotlight while cherishing the intentionally slowed-down moment of solitude. A musical-theater veteran and formerly entrenched with the classical music industry, her clients begin to step into the spotlight of their own possibilities as she lovingly pushes them to design a bold future where their personal lives are no longer the sacrificial lamb of their professional success. When humans commit to working with Dina-Marie, they realize the vision they are driven by, seeking to live and affect change from the inside out. As clients courageously jump into the unknown, dare to dream bigger, and love more deeply than ever before, Dina-Marie submits that a scarred heart offers more intimately experienced love than a forever-protected one. So, together, they identify the most daring and frightening dreams and reveal a path towards realizing them. In doing so, they are kept company by serious humor, fierce commitment, and easeful tenacity. The outcomes are manyfold; personal, professional, and financial. As clients create a multi-faceted life, one question is omnipresent: “What does your business have to do for you?” A native of Leipzig/Germany, former transplant to Los Angeles, and perpetual traveler at present, Dina-Marie’s company is completely remote while it lends the flexibility to regularly meet with clients for in-person experiences around the world. Her vision is fueled by her arts administration background, notably with the Detroit Symphony, The Sphinx Organization, the Segerstrom Center, and Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. In Germany, she served as Executive Director of musica assoluta, a Hanover-based orchestra, and supports the planning of the annual German Orchestras’ Conference.

I work with leaders, intra- and entrepreneurs, business vagabonds, visionaries, and all those ready to make a splash in the world without sacrificing their sanity...no matter your level of experience or industry.

Greetings students and alumni. I am a trauma-trained life-passages coach, more commonly known as a transitions coach, certified through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. I provide support for men and women whom are struggling to stay afloat in the stormy seas of an initiatory voyage, catalyzed by the change-inducing circumstances of life. I help you to (re)solve the problems challenging you so that you can make the personal upgrades required to safely pass through this leg of your journey, en route to your chosen destin(y)nation. In short, I help you make the necessary upgrades, both internally and externally, so you can get through the storm and make a safe passage to where-ever it is that you're headed next.

I've coached individuals at companies like Facebook, Google and Tesla, from entry level to mid-management. I've also worked with stay at home moms and dads, teenagers, and those young at heart. More important than what you do, your professional status, or role is your heartfelt and genuine desire for your life to improve —and your willingness to show up for that 'project'.
