I had the pleasure of working with Jessye during a recent career transition and I cannot recommend her enough as career coach…She helped me articulate my strengths and achievements on my resume, and I found the rate of success of my job applications to significantly improve since implementing her recommendations. She was also instrumental with interviews prep, still being understanding of my personal communication style. I was able to land 3 full time offers in just over 4 months and I strongly believe that her work played a big role in this success.
On top of this, Jessye was always available for emotional support and to give me that boost of confidence I needed at critical times.
I find her empathy, her ability to ask the right questions and the great combination of tactical tools and high level vision to be the core strengths of her approach. I would be delighted to work together again in the future.

I worked with Jessye over a period of a few months in hiring a number of members for my team. Jessye made the hiring process a breeze. She is very thoughtful, deliberate, and has a great eye for identifying the right candidates for the job. She has a very collaborative approach that makes the whole team feel like they have a voice and a role to play in the hiring process, which, in my view, is exactly how it should be (but often isn’t). Now having done some more recent hiring without Jessye’s help for budgetary reasons, my appreciation for her quality of work has only grown. I highly recommend working with Jessye!

I gained so much confidence as a new supervisor after attending trainings with Jessye. The content was digestible and the environment they were presented in fostered a brave space for learning. Many of the tools that were provided are things I’ve been able to incorporate into my day to day and long-term planning

Jessye Kass is such an incredible person and visionary! She is a leader, an empath, a dreamer, a planner, and a healer all wrapped up in one. …Working with Jessye was such a gift, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Jessye is very open-minded and supportive of folks at any level of an organization. It's clear that her experience enables her to bring real-life perspective and understanding to help folks feel more confident and effective in their non-profit careers.

Wonderful. Informative and suggestive without judgment. It was helpful to have the visual aids to keep as reminders after leaving the seminar and going back into the world. I think more than other similar workshops, I will leave with mechanisms of keeping what I learned "alive" in my daily life.

Jessye's training provided both personal support while also being rich in a presentation of different frameworks and approaches to leadership. Jessye was an excellent facilitator who both held and challenged the group.

Jessye is a terrific listener, writer, leder, manager, speaker, problem solver, idea generator and person. She will be successful ad give 100 percent…Any professional or organization will greatly benefit from her as a coach, consultant, or executive.

[Jessye’s] genuine intrest and commitment to my success and accomplishments made me feel valued…Jessye went above and beyond to meet my support needs.

I cannot recommend Jessye enough, she is truly a powerhouse.

Do yourself a favor and schedule time to meet with Jessye. Her approach is to understand you and get to know you before telling you what you need to do, that made a huge difference for me. Understanding your strengths and skills, then helping you enhance them. We tend to doubt ourselves a lot of times, but Jessye was able to help me understand it is okay to have doubts and questions, but gave me the resources needed to move past them.

Working with Jessye was one of the most positive hiring experiences I have had. She made very clear the expectations and hopes of the employer while also being very attentive to my needs and inquiries. I felt like a human, instead of just another resume, when applying to the job Jessye was facilitating recruitment for.

I wanted to thank you for that 15 min consultation we had that time. The resources you provided helped me adjust my resume in a way that got me my first interview at Jacob’s pillow, which is now my job.

Top notch talent. Very very engaging. Very very knowledgeable about [burnout & workplace wellness].

Succinct and approachable, coming from a place of care - nothing didn’t work for me - even the breakout rooms which I normally dread.

Jessye’s training was fabulous; there was a super helpful balance of theory and practical skills. I walked away from the training with a better sense of what my areas of growth are as a new supervisor and learned some tangible skills to use with my supervisees, as well as strategies to use in my own supervision with my manager.

[Supervisory Skills Training] is a great training for anyone who is interested in being a compassionate and empathetic supervisor and who believes that building good relationships and a good environment is the best way to get results.

Jessye brings a wealth of knowledge and ideas to the table that helps you look at situations and scenarios in a new light. During our training, I was able to pinpoint areas of focus to improve and begin implementation. I highly recommend one of her trainings!

When I learned that Jessye had launched a business, I jumped on the opportunity to work with them, and I can say unequivocally that this was one of the best career decisions I've made. My work with Jessye has been flexible, reflective, and action-oriented. After 10 months of working with Jessye, I was promoted and given a unique leadership opportunity within my organization. I have a greater sense of self-worth, confidence, and direction thanks to my work with Jessye.

Jessye provides that perfect combination of practical know-how and emotional intelligence. I worked with Jessye for several months through a career search, and she provided thoughtful insight and generous encouragement every step of the way.

Jessye has been a key support for my professional development for almost 3 years!

Jessye provides incredibly valuable feedback in a way that is direct and direct with care. Jessye understands the nonprofit landscape and I would recommend their support to anyone within or beyond that!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jessye as a career coach, an experience which has been invaluable. She has a unique approach that served my needs as a client extremely well. Her practical experience as a hiring manager, combined with her mindfulness and opposition to burnout culture, helped me find a way to job search that was exciting and hopeful, rather than demoralizing. Jessye has both the practical know-how to guide you in turning out a flawless cover letter, and the empathy and listening skills to help you challenge harmful assumptions and to bring your most confident self to the job interview.

I have had the honor to have received support from Jessye for several years now. Her commitment to equity, emotional support, and most importantly anti-racism are a few of the many skills that are present in the work. She is invested in her work and committed to every person is working with. As a mentor to me, she has supported me in tough times and provided the support needed to be able to move forward.
As a CWC volunteer, I was able to learn from her advocacy skills. She possesses amazing skills with empathy and the ability to hear and see individuals she is working with. I am truly able to say I am the advocate I am today because of the introductory work in social services from Jessye.
