There are several tools and resources to use when you want to better understand your personality,…read moremotivations, and interests. So many that determining the right tools to achieve the outcome that you specifically are looking for is near impossible and certainly overwhelming. Not only does Jen know the tools available, but she also knows what to use and when to use them for her clients. She masterfully determines what you need even if you are not quite sure yourself... even more, Jen has wonderful personal experience in business and life and is a student of her craft and clients. The results I have achieved working with Jen are beyond what I expected. She holds me accountable and knows when I need a softer approach. I wish I had started working with her years ago and highly recommend her services to my friends and family. She is a gem! Update: it's been a few weeks since I first wrote the above. I would still write the same words today but having continued with Jen, I have even more to add. Working with Jen changed my life. Seriously- I like to tell my friends that "Jen woke me up to the life I want to life." She didn't do all of the work but she lit the path and held me accountable for the parts I needed and still need to do to feel how I want to feel, have what I want to have and be who I hope to be. Once I grew up, I felt like the answers to those things would become obvious. They didn't and I became a self help book expert... still am- and podcasts... but Jen brings it all full circle for me. What I actually learned is that I have a career I love. I can change small and even large pieces of that at any time, for now I choose to approach my day differently. I "get to" change my perspective and "I get to" get even more out of every area of my life. Jen is a Leadership Whisperer! A true student of the process, the tricks & tools and the opportunity to realize the highest vision of ourselves! It's funny, a lot of the things Jen has introduced me to are things I already had inside, all along. BUT- Some were on backwards or inside out... who knew? No wonder I was "feeling off." Thank you Jen!

The Energy Leadership Index was a great tool for learning and was fast to take and gave me helpful feedback on my strengths and ways that I approach life and work, especially how I handle stress and challenging situations and relationships. What I liked best was that it was very thorough and to the point and quickly helped me become aware of things about myself that were good to have pointed out. These insights and understandings helped me find better ways to handle challenging situations and people in my life. Overall a terrific self-discovery experience and one where I learned a lot and felt encouraged and supported by my coach who was very knowledgeable.

This really is as good as it gets...financially speaking. I was referred to Steve Bruner, CPA at…read morethis firm when I finally decided that being completely anxious about taxes AND 8 months pregnant AND potty training was not good for anyone. I live in Texas, but own property in Iowa, so I was looking for someone in the DsM area. I was apprehensive about handing over my financial information (and tax liability) to a stranger, but Steve is everything you want in an accountant. Smart, funny, prompt, competent. I asked a bunch of (ignorant and useless) questions and Steve had an answer for each one. He and his firm are extremely reasonably priced and likely found WAY more deductions in my taxes than the fee he charged--so I'm sure I came out ahead. He ALSO likely kept me out of trouble with the IRS given the complicated tax situation we were facing this year. Taxes? No fun. But working with Steve makes taxes a lot less horrible. And that's saying a lot. We will absolutely use Steve next year and I look forward to pumping this kid out for an additional tax write-off.

You're thinking.. How is that possible? Try it. She has all the fixins of that home town feel right in the heart of Des Moines. She has seen my financial and life situation change over the years from college and part-time jobs to full time jobs, to marriage and divorce, to buying a house and soon enough a child. The physical growth of this business over the years is a testament to the clientele she is getting and maintaining. The last two years I paid in for missteps I was making, and Carla troubleshooted me through it and I got it figured out. Funny enough, I discovered one of my best friends, who is a self employed, also gets her taxes done by Carla.
