I actually did the math. I have sat along someone and have listened to their story over ten thousand times in my office. This is how my life has been blessed. I am a listener. It’s an intimacy that very few will ever have the opportunity to experience.

When I was young and new in my career, I was told to talk about my knowledge, my credentials, my licenses and my connections to impress potential clients. That’s stupid. It’s not about me. It’s about you.

Here is how I would engage you during a conversation. You talk and I would listen and I ask questions.

If you’ve Googled me, you already know me; and since you already know me, why would I waste your time talking about myself. Instead, I’ll listen to you.

Jenn says "your attitude is 99% responsible for the outlook to your days, the outcome of the work you do and the effects of what you spread with your words". Happily, Jenn found a loving husband who has those same values. Together they try to pass that belief onto their kids.

When people meet with the team, she hears about families, goals and interests. Some people share stories they wouldn't normally share. They say "it’s because we're pretty much family here". Jenn couldn't agree more. Seeing our clients and helping them is one of the best parts of her day.

Jenn is humbly proud of her little family and can’t wait to see how they will grow into the future.
