Welcome to Lead to Change,
where passion meets purpose!

Hi, my name is Jennifer!

I am a professional career coach based in Toronto, Canada.

Why I Started Lead to Change

Like many women of colour, I’ve walked a path filled with career highs and challenges that tested my confidence and made me question my place.

From navigating workplace bias and career roadblocks to battling imposter syndrome and burnout, I know what it’s like to feel stuck, overlooked, and unsure of what’s next.

I’ve often been the only woman of colour in the room, navigating the isolation, the constant scrutiny, and the unspoken pressure to prove I belonged. It can feel exhausting and disheartening—but I want you to know, it doesn’t have to stay that way.

Those experiences taught me something powerful: it’s possible to rise above those barriers and build the career you want—on your own terms.

My turning point came when I sought out a career coach. That decision changed everything.

Coaching helped me:

  • Clarify what truly matters in my career and align my goals with my values.

  • Recognize my unique strengths and advocate for myself with confidence.

  • Break free from feeling stuck and step into greater opportunities.

That transformation inspired me to start Lead to Change in 2020. My mission is simple: to help women of colour reclaim their self-worth, gain clarity, and pursue the career opportunities they deserve with confidence.

Why I’m Different

I bring a unique perspective to coaching, shaped by my own experiences and over 30 years of professional experience leading major initiatives in the public sector.

Here’s how I can help you:
