Helping leaders flourish.

Leader: “Anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.” ~ Brené Brown, PhD

A note from Jenn Peppers, Founder of Verge Coaching

My professional journey began in the telecommunications industry following the attainment of my Master of Business Administration degree. While pursuing an HR career, I enrolled in the Coaches Training Institute with the intention of developing my leadership skills. This experience unexpectedly ignited a passion for supporting leaders in achieving their full potential. Recognizing this newfound calling, I made the courageous decision to leave my HR position and dedicate myself to building a thriving coaching practice.

Deeply influenced by Brené Brown's work, I am a certified facilitator of the Dare to Lead program. My experience facilitating this program with diverse clients, including Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and major religious denominations, informs my coaching approach, bringing power and meaning to our work together.

Philosophy

I believe that every circumstance holds the potential for profound meaning and purpose. Within each experience, even the most difficult ones, lies the opportunity for growth, self-discovery, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. By actively seeking new perspectives and embracing the unexpected, we can transform adversity into positive change.

I believe that everything eventually works out, though often in ways we never anticipated. Life rarely follows the paths we meticulously plan. Unexpected detours, unforeseen obstacles, and serendipitous encounters are all part of the journey. By remaining open to the unfolding of events and trusting in divine guidance we can navigate twists and turns with grace and resilience.

I believe in the boundless capacity of the human spirit to evolve and grow throughout life. We are not limited by age or past experiences. We possess the remarkable ability to learn, unlearn, and rewire our thinking and behaviors at any stage of our journey. This enables us to pursue new passions, cultivate new habits, and continuously grow.

I believe that authentically living out our values is a cornerstone of fulfillment. Understanding our values and how they guide our actions as we navigate life's circumstances, fosters genuine connection and emotional authenticity. Our values empower us to approach ourselves and others with compassion and respect.

I believe that the wellsprings of peace, hope, and love are infinite. By extending kindness, compassion, and empathy to others, we not only enrich their lives but also nourish our own souls. A ripple effect of positivity is formed, creating a more compassionate and harmonious world.

This statement serves as a north star, reminding me to embrace the unexpected, cultivate a growth mindset, and live a life of purpose, authenticity, and love.
