It’s very empowering to understand which beliefs you have that may be holding you back, and to receive concrete advice about how to address them.

I left her workshop seeing new possibilities for my life and taking action to make the positive changes I had envisioned.

I loved the small group size, the thought-provoking guidance, materials and homework, and the camaraderie of the group.

Workshop
The foundation of our learning was based on being our authentic selves and that really showed up in all our sessions. It was fulfilling to open up and share some things about myself and to learn personal things about the other leaders.

Jessica has helped me work through many belief systems I developed over the course of my life that were holding me back from reaching my fullest potential. One by one we are shucking them away, helping me reach the beautiful pearls that are inside me.

Brian Bozeman
Founder of PCH Consultants
Group Coaching
She truly was able to create an astrosphere that myself and others in this course felt at ease to share our truths about ourselves. This allowed for us to be able to build trust and start the work we need to, to start moving forward in our personal journey.

“I have been so fortunate to call Jessica my Life Shucking Coach and watch my perspective— and in turn, my life—magnificently transform. It is with confidence I say that every session with her is deeply enriching and an incredible conduit for growth. Encouraged by Jessica, I have undoubtedly found countless new inner pearls and shucked away many parts of my life that failed to serve me, and I am so much better for it.
Jessica’s coaching is magic, her positive points of view, contagious, and not only is she an incredible coach, but now a cherished friend.
It is with wholehearted sincerity that I recommend Jessica to anyone needing a good shucking. She is an “energy ninja” and will help dissolve any and all perceived obstacles holding you back from accomplishing your dreams. What are you waiting for? It’s time to get shucked!”

Speaking
“Jessica Zemple is an outstanding and talented presenter. She is able to make an instant and genuine connection with a large group of people, and engage people in thoughtful, trust-building, and meaningful conversations that lead to both personal development for the attendees and strong bonding for the group.
I have worked with Jessica on multiple occasions in structured gatherings convened by the Summit Institute.”
We have engaged Jessica to help begin weekend retreats, and have received rave reviews from participants about how Jessica’s ‘life shucker” philosophy has helped them to open up, be receptive and responsive to others, to relax and feel trust and valued.
Her sessions have contributed significantly to the overall success of our gatherings by created a tone and atmosphere of honesty, respect and caring. I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica and her program.”

Melissa Haala
Preschool Teacher
Group Coaching
“This class is the best thing I’ve done for myself…EVER! It was hard work and incredibly emotional, but so rewarding to let go of the emotional baggage I’d been carrying around. Jessica is an amazing leader and listener. She is validating and encouraging. The weekly group meetings were informative and educational, but more importantly, they were filled with love and support. I miss them! Through this class I gained valuable tools to help me face any challenges that come my way!”

Mike Ferretti
CEO at Great Harvest Bread Company
1:1 Coaching
“I have worked with Jessica for a number of years. Going into this I wasn’t sure what to expect but knew I needed a sounding board as a long-time mentor had retired. My experience has been transformational. Jessica has changed me for the better.
From the start I have grown as a person, leader and thinker. I have been able to listen and see things differently.
Now our sessions pretty much start where we used to take a while to get to because of that shift. I am much more clear and positive. The days full of problems are no more. I now see and think of things from a very different perspective. One that frees me to be a much more effective manager and fun person. And more at peace.”

Workshop
Jessica provided exercises that stretched my thinking and challenged me to approach situations in a different way.
In addition, I learned that I was very good at “creating my own story” rather than taking a step back and reflect on all possible scenarios which gave me a better perspective and more objective mindset.”

Barry Shingle
Program Director at Rancho La Puerta
Group Coaching
She is authentic, accepting and loving. I felt such a strong connection that I signed up for her online group course and after the first session signed up for a second.
The majority of her students signed up for the second as well. Jessica gently gives personal insights and guides her students to awareness and change. I am grateful that Jessica is a part of our inner fitness team and know that our guests will benefit from her sessions. “

I am forever grateful for your helping me shuck the pearl that is deep inside of me.
I bet you haven’t seen anyone have to use a jackhammer and prybar to get toward the pearl but I’m certain it’s in here somewhere. Thank you for all your help with us. I am a lifetime shucker.

We learn about this nebulous thing called SHUCKING. “It will be great!” they said. “You will LOVE it!” they said.
Was I happy to be part of this inaugural group of shuckers? Of course. I love being an early adopter.
Did I have any idea what to expect? No! Was I all-in from the beginning? No. But only because I stay true to my “DiSC” profile (I’m a C – generally skeptical, questioning, analytical, etc.).
Overall this 9-month journey we went on together provided some good reminders, and some new tools for each of us in a different way.
Personally, I loved the 1:1 coaching. It helped provide clarity for some work-related items, but it also helped draw me in to things I needed to do at home in particular. Relationships, sure. But on a far less-deep level, it finally got me to take things off my to-do list at home – things that were just taking up extra energy until I crossed them off the list. Like redoing my living room. It might have been an expensive revelation, but I feel better!
Now it’s November 2019/December. The skeptic in me still admittedly has a hard time bringing the “L” world into every touch-point in a work setting. Hey, I’m not a Grinch – just realistic.
For me, you can easily replace the L word with CONNECTION.
Because at the end of the day, those of us Shuckalums have connected on something deeper than solving that one issue or working together on that one project.
We’re Shuckers now. And in a world and workplace that’s becoming more and more disconnected, this is shucking important.”

Connecting with colleagues on a deeper level, receiving the one-to-one coaching, confronting things in my life that haven’t been working and having breakthroughs, focusing on my person development at the “soul” level, EVERYTHING!!”

I love everything about Leading with Love. Building this culture comes from the top by us actually doing it, not just talking about it.
On-going opportunities to regroup, discuss, get coaching etc. is probably the most important thing we can do as a management team in order to support our teams and lead the YMCA and community with love. Thank you!”
