about

So glad you asked! Mostly because I love questions. Big questions lead to big dreams, big ideas, and big living.

And I know questions can be scary. I've sat stuck in that ugly cry (you know the one? Have you been there?) and wondered...what if I can't do this?

Here's what I need you to know...you can do it.

Step one: Grow in self-awareness. I've always loved a good personality tool, but I went all in on using the Enneagram. Because of all the tools I've used (MBTI, Strengths, DISC, Kolbe), I've seen the Enneagram as the most effective in bringing the most power and the most peace.

Step two: Grow in communication and conflict resolution skills. I've always been a talker, but I learned that your leadership — and all your relationships — will rise and fall on your ability to handle communicate effectively and solve conflict.

And I'm here to help you be that confident leader living a peaceful and flourishing life. In addition to serving in leadership roles, I've completed extensive training in communication, conflict resolution, and the Enneagram. I have master's certification in theology and leadership and education. I hold a Master of Arts in Communication and Culture as well as certification as an Enneagram coach.

Let's do some big living together.

In a challenging conversation, when your tongue is cemented to the roof of your mouth, it’s helpful to have something to loosen the mortar without exploding the conversation.

Sarah

health care leader

I had a poor distinction between home and work life, frustration with the management of both. After our Enneagram training in the Catalyst Leadership Lab, I improved my confidence, understanding how I was leading in both areas, and I was able to set more reasonable expectations on myself and others.

Marletha

hospitality director

Jenn Whitmer is an interactive and engaging speaker, even in our virtual training platform. Jenn's workshop on conflict resolution was perfect for our managers. Our managers learned how to identify their own conflict style, myths about conflict, and actual phrases to use when dealing with conflict. She did exercises with the group on the spot and even provided free downloadable material at the end. One of the comments from our managers, “I wish I would have learned this 10 years ago!”

I highly recommend Jenn as a speaker.

Megan

Seven-figure entrepreneur

Jenn was a speaker in my business coaching program and absolutely blew it out of the park. She was so incredible and impactful for my students in helping them integrate the Enneagram with their business and truly understand their clients from a different perspective. Jenn was also a guest on my podcast and really taught the Enneagram in a way that was simple, understandable, and highly actionable. When this information is used powerfully it can truly change your life, and Jenn teaches it in a way that's not just "good to know" but easily applied! I couldn't recommend her more!

Hillary

Nonprofit leader

Our team tends to get deep in the weeds with our work and badly needed this training to connect us and encourage us to get to know ourselves and one another better. Jenn conducted an upbeat, positive, and extremely informational session introducing us to the Enneagram. Her knowledge and engaging style kept everyone's attention and gave us the means to do some self-discovery and identify our motivations. We're excited to continue to learn more and refer back to what she shared often. Definitely recommend bringing Jenn to your team.
