Vice President, Legal & Business Affairs, Leading Streaming Platform

I began working with Jessica a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic, when my anxiety was at an all-time high and my interactions with colleagues, who were all struggling to stay sane in their own ways, began to suffer.  The in-house lawyer has their work cut out for them on their best days, needing to build and maintain trust and open communication with colleagues in order to be successful, and that work became even more difficult once we all started working remotely and retreating into our own world of worry and uncertainty.  Jessica’s guidance helped me manage my anxiety by leaning deeper into my relationship with colleagues and reports, becoming a better listener, and reimagining my role as a mentor and role model rather than simply someone who executes on projects and delivers results.

Jessica helped me let go of my doomsday worries and refocus on the present, balancing my urge to deliver results with my responsibility for taking care of my colleagues, without whom there would be no results to speak of.  And the interpersonal work with my colleagues has even spread to my family life, which has benefitted by my new commitment to listening and modeling good behavior instead of demanding it.  I really can’t thank Jessica enough.
