Work with Jas through One-to-One Coaching or Coaching Circlesto meet your full potential.
I follow the ethics and guidelines of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I am committed to empowering women, indigenous and racialized folks on their leadership journey.
I create with you, opportunities for: (1) Creating a shift from doing to being; and (2) Cultivating presence, connection, and higher states of awareness to show up with your whole humanity and communicate skillfully to inspire cultures of belonging and navigate change.
One-to-One Coaching
For Leaders & Executives
Sessions are held typically biweekly with most engagements lasting 3-6 months or 6-12 months. These can include 360 degree and other proven assessments such EQ-2. O, Enneagram etc. that identify strengths and areas of development.
For Personal Development
I will provide you a fresh perspective and support. I will not be fixated on providing you solutions. I will ask meaningful questions that open doors; do you wish to be supported and emboldened in building capacity for a wholehearted approach to life, relationships, and leadership?
Coaching Circles
For Leadership Cohorts & Teams
Facilitated courageous leadership development in a supportive online/in-person container with a community of like-minded peers. Small group of 4 to 8 members meets once every 3 weeks (online or in person) for a facilitated conversation to work on specific issues.
Bespoke coaching program to meet your unique needs, goals, and potential; 3-6 months of bi-weekly video calls/in-person with a dedicated development plan of practices and resources such as journaling prompts, podcasts, guided meditations, and more.
Some of the challenges that I typically coach my clients through include:
How do I lean into difficult conversations genuinely?
How do I lead a culturally highly diverse team and be seen as a compassionate and confident leader?
What’s my role in creating a systemic change?
How do I handle change & work with self-doubt or imposter syndrome?
How do I set boundaries?
How do I become aware of unconscious bias and mitigate these biases?
Support us in creating an Inclusive action plan for a diverse organization.
How do I live my life fully and authentically, guided by my essence?
How do I embody skills to lead with surrender?
How do I manage stress?
A quiet mind does not mean that there will be no thoughts or mental movements at all, but that these will be on the surface, and you will feel your true being within, separate from them, observing but not carried away!

Jas is a phenomenal facilitator. She sets the dynamic between her and the group very early on as more of a friend to friend type of teaching rather than the typical top down academic lecturing that is the university norm.

Jas is highly effective in maintaining high morale. She wonderfully facilitated and very informative class. The conversations were stimulating, applicable to real-life in the department, and I came away with some new strategies. Indeed, this training was very helpful and very relevant to the current challenges that have been blown out in the open with the issues of inclusion and diversity in Canada and abroad. I’ll be moving to a new desk/job in September, and this will certainly be helpful in helping navigate the change/shift!Many thanks indeed Jas for the enlightening training!

Jas is an inspiring and a creative speaker with knowledge to communicate possible solutions about those intangible issues that invariably happen in multicultural organizational settings, and which adversely impact on the organization's effectiveness. Her speaking skills, along with a very personable style, are impressive indeed.

Jas has a tremendous gift for coaching : patience, open presence, empathy each comes from a kind of confidence and strength that allows for trust building quickly. In my coaching process with jas, I felt safe immediately. She has a natural way of gaining trust. She checked in regularly and kept me accountable in a caring and a balanced way.

I highly recommend Jas to any professional struggling to work with conflicting priorities and self confidence. I came to Jas wanting to be a better professional, instead she carved a path to be a better and wholesome person. I particularly admired her openness to understand my situation, see things from my perspective and her ability to guide my growth as a better professional and an individual. I recommend Jas to anyone looking for professional and personal coaching.

Jas has an intuitive ability to discern who had difficulty adjusting, and she finds just the right touch to help her learners deal with conflicting situations. Jas listens generously and conveys a message of power and privilege quite succinctly. She teaches theory through many practical simulations, has a great sense of humour.

Jas was recommended to me as I was transitioning into a bigger leadership role, leading a diverse, multicultural, global team in an international NGO. She is the coach I never knew I needed. Her focus on deep self-awareness, emotional attunement and meeting me exactly where I am allowed sometimes unexpected, but important issues to rise to the surface. I really appreciate her attentiveness, compassion, deep presence, as well as the vast repository of tools, insights and knowledge that she brings to every session. Halfway through our coaching relationship, I can already see a change - I am able to draw from a range of tools we have worked together in challenging moments to be a more present, courageous, authentic and aware leader. I would highly recommend Jas for anyone ready for a journey of transformation professionally and personally.

I took the course Intercultural Proficiency for Managers in a Canadian Mission in May 2022 and found it very helpful. Even though this will be my fourth posting, it will be my first in a management position managing both Canadians and locally engaged staff. The course provided useful tools to develop self-awareness of my unconscious biases, develop an understanding of intercultural contexts that goes deeper than surface behaviours, and approach difficult conversations with staff with cultural sensitivity. Jas facilitated discussion well and helped us work through scenarios that could lead to misunderstandings if not handled well. I will refer back to the course and what we learned as I head into my posting in Bangladesh.
