I have worked with Jenny Oakley for the past 18 years. Her ability to guide me to an inner platform of emotional certainty has had a profound effect on family, relationships and work.
I was introduced to Jenny by my then partner (now wife) when I was addressing challenges over my then four young children following a difficult separation. Immediately I found the inner focus to deal with external turbulence. Over the intervening years her vision and guidance has assisted me build a successful professional career that has seen me travel the world, take a senior national position in research management in Australia, and continue to expand my managerial skills and responsibilities. Today much of this involves international travel, keynoting conferences, workshops and formal presentations.
As our children grew and embarked on their own adult and professional careers we have recommended Jenny to them where she has been able to provide a listening post and positive individual direction to match their skills and interests. Her ability to quickly read across one’s current situation, define the core challenges, and then find the themes and focus to go forward is quite remarkable.
For ongoing maintenance, my wife and I both have quarterly sessions with Jenny. We use these times to maintain perspective, focus, productivity, health and happiness in our personal and professional lives. When the opportunity arises we regularly recommend Jenny for an outside perspective and navigator’s hand to chart a forward path.
