About me

Photo of Jena Strong

My coaching style combines attentive listening, insightful questioning, ongoing support, and a total belief in my clients’ innate ability to create a life that feels like a "fit."

I have ten years’ experience guiding entrepreneurs, small business owners, non-profit and academic directors, artists, writers, moms and students through pivotal moments and transitions in work and life.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Russian Studies from Barnard College and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Emerson College, as well as professional training with the Coaches Training Institute and the University of Vermont. I grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts, and now live with my husband and our two daughters in Burlington, Vermont.


Through encouragement...

". . .and gentle prodding, Jena challenged me to work outside my comfort zone, where I discovered that it is not as scary as I feared. Through her compassion, her spirituality, and her zeal for seeking out places of confluence in life, Jena embodies what it is to be a coach."
