  • Healing and preventing burnout and work-place trauma in professionals so they can “show up” best at work - such as supporting individuals to increase skills in ‘mental health hygiene,’ emotional regulation/stress management and prioritize/work more impactfully in the midst of change, challenges and even work-place trauma as also a trauma-informed mental health therapist

  • Elevating the leadership growth and emotional intelligence of professionals through greater self-awareness, insights and exec comms/presence such as conducting interviews with stakeholders to elevate the precision of coaching for senior executives and managers or helping individual contributors level-up their performance and act on feedback

  • Championing the impact of professionals by articulating and encapsulating their ‘magic’ in personal branding and build a visibility strategy- e.g. helping individuals summarize their experience and expertise for resumes, cover letters, interviews and LinkedIn or establishing renewed perceptions at work

  • Cultivating a clear career ‘why’ and long term career plan for mid to late-stage professionals including helping individuals prepare for promotions, figure out next steps, grow into exec roles, and plan/prepare for retirement

  • Maximizing the effectiveness and impact of entire executive teams, leadership teams, and small to large organizations by skilling up their emotional intelligence and soft skills such as workshops and trainings on mental health, navigating change with resilience and agility, driving accountability without authority/working cross-company, feedback skills and championing their impact

Background

Dr Renee St Jacques began her career in Corporate America with now over two decades of experience with business and real-world work especially in the tech sector in the Pacific Northwest. While prospering in her work, she knew that something was missing. She knew there could be more….walking in more magic, more of her giftings, more passion, and more time to invest in the mental health and emotional intelligence she felt could change the world. She knew she had to be strategic and proactive about her career path and maximizing her own potential by making a dramatic career pivot.

Mid-way in her career, she made the courageous leap to pursue her Doctorate in Psychology. To stay in Corporate America would be to only pursue half of who she was in her skills and interests. The doctorate would equip her with the expertise to truly help people in the way she knew best and provide the fulfillment she longed for.

Now a seasoned licensed psychologist, certified executive coach, facilitator, and consultant, Dr. Renee St Jacques delights in bringing her whole self to work and walking in her “magic” in her career with the highest level of passion and fulfillment as she helps hundreds of individuals do the same in their own careers.
