Who Jean works with
Jean works with managers and other professionals who set high goals for themselves. Her clients often work hard but hate wasting time. Some get bogged down in small details or hold unrealistic expectations that cut into their enjoyment. Her Thinking Lab is aimed at Ayn Rand sympathizers who want to link theory and practice.
How Jean works
Jean uses a model of productivity built on three parts: The right kind of action, the right definition of success, and the right kind of motivation. Each part feeds the others and builds a cycle of productivity. Her Launch coaching runs three times a year, with 8 coaching calls a month to reach a major goal in 8 weeks. Later months slow to 2 classes and 2 to 3 coaching calls a month. She also teaches her version of Byron Katie's "Judge Your Neighbor" process.
Background and qualifications
Jean began her career as an engineer. She earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1985 and 1986. She worked as a systems engineer and program manager. By age 25 she led a $1.2 million program that built a wavefront sensor for a laser guidestar adaptive optics experiment at the Starfire Optical Range. She then grew more interested in thinking processes than in the problems themselves. She earned a Master's in Psychology at Carnegie Mellon in 1994 and finished graduate philosophy training. In 1998 she left engineering to coach analytical thinking.
