“I have known Jenny for many years, since back in her Google days when she was rocking the corporate coaching arena and writing her blog as a side hustle. Watching the amazing growth in her business makes me so happy, but I am not surprised. Jenny blends the very best of absolute integrity, unbridled joy, intelligence, and heart in everything she does.””
Longer Background
Jenny has been publishing online for over two decades. She launched her first website in 2005 while working as the first employee at a political polling start-up in Palo Alto, later acquired by YouGov America. She was early to blogging (2007) and Twitter (2008), but left social media in 2012, making rare exceptions only for book launches. You won’t find her active on platforms other than podcasts and Substack, so get in touch here or below. 👇
Prior to launching her business in 2011, Jenny co-created Google’s global drop-in coaching program, Career Guru, still thriving today. One of the Stanford Graduate School of Business’ most popular classes, Strategic Pivoting, is based on her second book, Pivot, and co-taught by former Yankees star Alex Rodriquez. She also licenses Pivot Programs to universities and companies like Google and CHANEL.
For nearly a decade, Jenny created over 750 podcast episodes across two shows with over two million downloads combined: the Webby-nominated Free Time for Heart-Based Business owners, and Pivot with Jenny Blake for navigating change.
She lives in New York City with her husband, a contemporary artist, and their angel-in-fur-coat German shepherd Ryder.
“Jenny makes jump starting your life seem not only easy but the only logical thing. Yes, she is a great coach, but it has to do more with who she is. Meeting her is enough to want more from your life, but working with Jenny puts you into action by default. It is not very often we meet people who have this amazing, breathtaking energy about them. They just look at you and you feel stronger, better, and freer to live the life you deserve. Jenny is one of those people.””
