What people are saying
“We started working with Je’Nen deep into the pandemic. With her collaboration and guidance, I feel we not only maintained a strong, encouraging culture, we grew and strengthened it. Je’Nen led and implemented our company-wide mentorship initiative and year-long communication training. The two programs worked in conjunction to build partnerships across the company, strengthening the foundation of our work. Je’Nen is a talented communicator and facilitator, with deep knowledge of the design industry. She cares about advancing the profession and is a tenacious advocate. We were lucky to work with her.”
“We had the pleasure of having Je’Nen lead a communication and mentorship program at our office. Je’Nen has a wonderful ability to meet people where they are – with a powerful grasp of the content and a keen eye for understanding how that content needs to be delivered to the team and to the individual. Je’Nen was eager to talk with me privately and helped me talk through and strategize ways in which I could approach challenges in some of my day-to-day communications. She was and is a valued partner.”
“Je’Nen brought keen insight and wisdom to our recent leadership development series. Working adeptly across virtual and in-person sessions, Je’Nen created a curriculum tailored to our needs and encouraged us to explore both challenges and opportunities to effective leadership. She guided us through large-group discussions, and met separately with small leadership support pods for a deep-dive into individual goals. Since the series ended, Je’Nen has continued to be available and generous with her advice as we navigate new pathways!”
“Apostrophe Consulting’s outside perspective and insight from work with various organizations in our field of all different sizes helped us pinpoint the exact training and experience deficiencies within our firm. Having Je’Nen there to bounce ideas off during the development of our Training Program has been valuable. Her ability to listen and respond to questions, comments, and specific issues our staff is navigating directly supports the program’s overall impact.”
